<p>Here is a situation- I have finished my freshman year at the University I am attending. Now I am applying to a couple of positions that require to know what year standing are you.</p>
<p>It is Summer right now and I am not attending school. So do I say that I am a freshman(since fall semester did not start yet) or am I a sophmore already (since i successfully recieved 32 college credits during my first year and technically done with it)???</p>
<p>You are a sophomore because you have completed your freshman year. Some people would use the term “rising sophomore” to describe your status, but either way, you are no longer a freshman.</p>
<p>It’s all based on how many credits you’ve completed. So you’re a sophomore. If you want to be unambiguous you can put your total number of credits next to your GPA on your resume.</p>
<p>You are a sophomore. No doubt about it. You have already finished your freshman years and even though it is summer, the fact that you are an incoming sophomore makes you already a sophomore.</p>
