MD Transfer to NYU

I am currently a first year student at DePaul University in Chicago. I like it here and everything but I think i would be better if i went to a school that was better know for its science programs. I am chemistry major and i want to go to med school. So a few questions:

Would NYU be a good school to transfer to?
Do they accept transfer students often?
If you are a student at NYU how do you like?
Are the people easy going?
People at DePaul are a bit stand off-ish and i just want a friendlier atmosphere.

Any info will be nice. Thanks!
