<p>There is a big difference between starting college 2 to 3 years after high school and wanting to 'start over' after being in college for 2 years.</p>
<p>If you have never attended college and in many places you have less than 1 years worth of credit, you can apply as a a freshman.</p>
<p>If you have more than 1 years of college credits, then you must apply as a transfer student.</p>
<p>Regarding your bad first 2 years, can you turn things around yes. Can you treat that time like it does not exists? no, because your college transcripts are forever and your trying to apply and not disclose the information will get you thrown out of what ever college you do end up getting into.</p>
<p>If you have recieved any kind of federal or state aid, or filed a FAFSA the new school will know that you have been through the college process and have received funds. Things will then start to unravel.</p>
<p>Also, you would have to explain what you have been doing over the past 2 years now involving others in the lie you want to tell.</p>
<p>Just work it out, as you would be suprised at how amenable adreps can be in giving someone a new chance</p>
