Can a college student apply as freshman applicant?

Applying to College
1

<p>Hey guys!</p>

<p>I have already enrolled in a college and my classes are starting in two weeks. I applied to few colleges in US, UK and Hong Kong last year. I didn't get anywhere in US because I rushed my apps in just a week. I still want to go to a US univ, preferably HYPSM. Since transfer application is very very competitive for international students, I was thinking of applying as freshman applicant again but I dont want to take a gap year. I know this works for UK univs and univs in other countries, but is it allowed to a college student to apply as freshman applicant in US univs (particularly HYPSM)?</p>

<p>You can’t attend classes and then apply for Sept 2012 as an entering freshmen.</p>

<p>But that works for other univs e.g. many of my friends have gone to Oxford or NUS as freshmen after attending another college for a year :(</p>

<p>It doesnt work that way in the US. Period.</p>
