Help!

So, I'm a freshman in a university from the States which is located in my country. I plan to transfer to NYU in my sophomore or junior year (If they accept junior transfers) I would like to major in the  MCC program from Steinhardt. I was wondering how hard is it for transfer students to get accepted to the program? And how is it like? I have 36 credits, and what do I need to do for the applications? 

Oh, by the way. Is it better to transfer as a junior?
