Sophomore transfer vs. Junior Transfer

<p>Hi im about to enter my spring semester freshman year. I had a 3.06 HS gpa with a 680 math 660 verbal, my current college gpa is a 3.5 exactly after the fall from a small private liberal arts college.. I would love to transfer to either UNC, NYU, or Vanderbilt .. Would I be advised to give it a shot now and apply for a sophomore year transfer or should I wait a year and apply to enter a junior transfer.. I am also an international student from the UK studying in the US, if thats important i'm not sure..</p>

<p>Any help would be really appreciated, thanks!</p>
