<p>You should wait. </p>
<p>Applying your first year means that schools will only have one semester to judge your college record. No one is going to do this therefore a lot of emphasis will be placed on your HS GPA, standardized scores, recs, ect. Essentially it’s like applying as a HS Senior all over again.</p>
<p>I suggest you wait because if you didn’t believe that you would of have been accepted out of HS then your chances are not going to improve with 1 semester of college credits.</p>
<p>As the other poster said you shouldn’t go to school with the mentality of transferring. I could see if you were in a Community College where you’re expected to transfer but your situation is different.</p>
<p>If after the first semester you want to transfer then by all means go for it. I would really buckle down, make sure you don’t slip up on grades, get involved in a few ECs and ponder the reason for transfering. (You’re going to need a well thought out reason[s] for leaving your current school.)</p>
<p>Take a look at the NYU page to see if there are any prerequisites you have to take or any specific courses that you may need. </p>
