Transfer Advice

<p>I haven't started college yet, but I'm already sure I want to transfer.</p>

<p>I'll be attending Simmons College this fall and I want to transfer to either Smith or MHC for spring. I know it's recommended to stay the whole year, but I'm in a bit of a rush... </p>

<p>How high would my college GPA have to be, to be comfortable applying? How many extracurricular activities would be preferred?
Considering that they're looking at my HS GPA, extracurricular activities, and SAT, how much do they truly matter if I'm a transfer applicant?
How much would it matter if I join a couple of groups in college?
If both schools have a low percentage of latinas, how much would this help me considering I'm Puerto Rican?</p>

<p>I'm mostly transferring because the school is not very generous with their financial aid package; this is why I'd like to leave before I have to write them another check for spring. </p>

<p>Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks</p>
