Transferring "up" to BU?

I’m currently a freshmen at a small liberal arts school in Southern New Hampshire. I made the decision to come here mainly in the mindset that I would be a creative writing major. Since I’ve gotten here however I’ve decided to switch to communications. That, along with the fact that I miss living in the city, and really want a much bigger student body has lead me to apply to BU, BC, and Emerson, with BU being my top. I would commute to these schools if I was accepted.

I couldn’t have gotten into these schools from high school, but I’m working hard to make myself a competitive applicant. Currently I have a 3.67 GPA and have joined multiple clubs and done a lot of community service.

Has anyone gone through the transfer process or just have any tips in general for getting into these schools? Thank you so much I really appreciate it!

Commuting to BU would be a challenge. I hope you live very close and just jump on the T.
