<p>If I were to enter Tech with 29 hours from AP tests, I would still be considered a freshman, correct? Should I self-study another AP to get 30 or more hours to be considered a sophomore? Would there be a significant benefit to doing this?</p>
<p>It would help you incrementally for that course, but it’s not a big deal. I promise that no current 2nd year student would consider you as a peer for bringing in AP credits; you’re still a first year student and should act accordingly (as there is a year’s worth of knowledge of being on campus that you do not have). 
In other words, don’t let it go to your head, nor brag to anyone that you’re technically a sophomore.</p>
<p>Still, good for you for bringing in so many credits! :-)</p>
