Transferring to Rutgers

I am now attending Rowan University and I am just about finishing up my freshman year. I would like to transfer to Rutgers because they have a much better Computer Science program and more internship opportunities. I had applied my senior year and been denied because I had slacked off during high school GPA:3.08 SAT:1600. Now I am taking college seriously and working my *** off, though I had received a bad grade in Chemistry which killed my GPA though after this semester I should be at about at 3.22. I am retaking Chem and I would like to apply to get in in the spring next year. Do you think I have a chance to get into the Rutgers NB Arts and Sciences and do you think they will see that I am trying to improve? Or should I wait until I finish my sophomore year and try to raise my GPA even more, though I’m scared that many credits will not transfer.
