<p>I have acquired enough AP credits to be considered a sophomore for my first year. However, all these credits are in non-major subjects. When I apply for internships, I assume it will be under sophomore status. I will be at a disadvantage because 2nd year sophomore students will have had a chance to take more courses in my major, and thus be more experienced. Is there any way to cope with this? It seems like AP credits are more of a hindrance than a boon in this situation...</p>
<p>I’m in the same boat as you and didn’t really think about this before. I’ll be coming in with 45 quarter credits, so I’ll just barely be coming in as a sophomre. But I plan on staying aroind 4 years, my school has a 4 year program where I can get my masters in Accounting (if that’s the route I choose) and I want to double major.</p>
<p>But if anything, this will probably help us. Would you rather apply as a sophomore or as a freshman?
Business internships are pretty tough to get for freshman so hopefully I can use this to my advantage. </p>
<p>not gonna feel like a sophomore though haha</p>

Well, I guess in a lot of cases, companies would rather hire upperclassmen, so the faster I become one the better. However, some of the scholarships/internships I am looking at have very specific academic statuses that they want to apply for the position, so when they say they want only college sophomores applying, I feel like I will be at a disadvantage because of my lack of experience in my major.</p>
