Applying as a freshman although I have two semesters?

Applying to College
1

<p>Hi</p>

<p>I am a raising sophmore but I need to apply somewhere else for different reasons, one being curriculum and two finances.</p>

<p>So I was wondering if it's possible, although I went somewhere for two semesters? I would like to apply as a freshman because a) I have a debt so they won't provide official transcripts and b) the classes I took weren't the classes I really wanted. </p>

<p>Is it possible?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Not likely. The number of hours of college credit beneath which you need to be to still be considered a freshman applicant varies from college to college, but generally anyone with two semesters of college is going to be considered someone who must apply as a transfer student.</p>

<p>You have to fix the problem about the debt to your first institution, or it will be almost impossible to be admitted anywhere else. Period.</p>

<p>Pick up the phone, call them, and work out a plan for paying down that debt.</p>

<p>ITA with both posters above.</p>

<p>Were you simply planning to skip out on that debt to your current college? Aside from the fact that any other college would have good reason to think twice about taking you in if you were willing to do that, it would also be just plain wrong to do it.</p>

<p>No, its not possible. </p>

<p>It’s possible to try, of course, but you won’t succeed. Every college you apply to will require you to list all previous colleges you attended, and tell you that if you complete the app falsely you can be rejected or rescinded. In order to apply as a frosh you’ll need to “forget” to list them. Unfortunately for you, there is an organization called the National Student Clearinghouse that colleges use to share info on who has attended. They use this to prevent financial aid fraud and also to catch students that don’t list all colleges they have attended. They will catch you.</p>

<p>Agree with the other posters, with 2 semesters of college, you’d be considered a transfer anywhere.</p>

<p>Clear up your debt with your college, don’t continue down the path you’re considering and get yourself in even deeper trouble.</p>
