Difficult to transfer?

I live in NY and I attend a CC here, I will hopefully be transferring to a 4 year university either August 2018(if I take alot of classes during my winter/summer to speed up the process) if I am not able to then I will graduate by December 2018, take a semester off and begin at my 4 year university August 2019. My neighbor is a graduate from University of Georgia and I heard great advice from him, and also I had read online how amazing this college is. I wanted to know if I keep my gpa(3.2 currently) the way it is, would that increase my chances of getting accepted? Or do the admissions expect a higher gpa especially from an out of state resident?

Thanks
