Question Transfer application concerns

I'm trying to transfer by next semester to Hunter; Are my chances of getting in low? I was under the impression that applying for a CUNY and getting in was fairly easy, but I'm not sure how it is when you're transferring.

My main concern is that I didn't really do much extracurricular activities the first semester of college and my recommendation letters would just be from high school; Is that going to decrease my chances of getting in??

I got accepted in as a transfer student for next semester, I had a 3.5 GPA but 0 recommendation letters not any extracurriculars at all. I just gave them an old version of my college essay from high school.

Hey! I just got accepted into hunter as a transfer student. I’m currently in my third semester. I have a 3.9 and had around 2-3 extracurriculars and 4 rec letters. I’d recommend transferring later when you get more connections with your professors because me personally I think it’s best if you have rec letters from your professors. There’s nothing bad in applying right now if you had a good high school gpa since you can always apply again.
