If a uni says you need 30 credits or sophomore status to apply, do they mean by the time you will enter or by the time of application? If I will be a sophomore by Fall 2018, and the application date is March 1, am I applying as a 2nd Semester Freshman or as a Sophomore?
You are applying as a 2nd semester freshman. This is because at the time of applying, counting your in-progress and completed credits, you’ll have ~30 credits.
Thanks for the help. I’m sorry if I don’t understand, what would qualify as a sophomore applicant, then? Even if I would enter as a sophomore by Fall when I’m applying?
Also, If I need 30 credits to apply somewhere, does that mean by application date or by admission date?
To apply as a sophomore the credits that you completed+the credits in progress have to be at least 30.
Check the exact wording of what the university says, since some specify number to apply and others specify number by the time of transfer.
