Transferring out as a First Year

Hi — I am a first year at smith college. I come on here to ask what chances might look like if I were to transfer to Wesleyan, or in very high hopes a school of a similar pedigree to smith (Colgate etc.). I’m an environmental studies and pre law major. Suppose I were to have:

- maintained a 3.5-3.6 gpa, had several LERs from professors

- had a campus work study in the dining hall for the full year

- worked on student government association as a sustainability committee secretary and member of the senate

- joined a club at Amherst college through the 5CC

- had taken 2 classes from the 5CC at Amherst college

- Worked on house council for smith resident housing as an environmental representative

- volunteered at citizen climate lobby meetings downtown

- joined another recreational club at smith

Along with my highschool transcript (SAT 1420, GPA 3.7) and of course a good transfer essay, does this level of application seem to put up a good high probability of acceptance for Wesleyan or a school adjacent? I’m looking for schools that are coed, I don’t feel like I fit in at smith and I’m not very happy. Thank you!
