<p>Can I go to a school for a year and then apply to another school as a freshman (not expecting to recieve credit from the first year, of course)?</p>
<p>Most of the time you can’t, but you can always call your interest schools and ask. There are exceptions some time… I’ll complete over 60 hours of college credit but the schools is my state will consider me only as a first year student (for one semester) and then grant me my actual standing. So good luck, but you really need to call the schools and ask.</p>
<p>How exactly would they know that you went to a different college?</p>
