Transfer questions

<p>So I plan on majoring in animation, and I am a freshman in CC. My highschool grades were HORRENDOUS, I had a 1.9 gpa. My act is 23. But I have been doing great in CC, I am really focusing on my classes and school work. I took an english class over summer (equivalent to wrd-103) and got an A in that. Im in three classes right now and from the looks of it I can get A's in all of those as well. I want to transfer in my sophomore year, if I wait until junior year I will have to take 5 years to get my degree. So my questions are;
1. When should I apply
2. Since I wont have 30 credits I will have to send in my HS grades. Will those get me rejected even if I have close to a 4.0 College gpa? </p>
