<p>This is a new issue and I don't really know where to start but I guess I will ask here. I am a freshman at another top school but just left on a medical leave. I'm not going back until next fall because I am going to just take the second semester off to do something else. Therefore, I won't have any college credits (only the AP credits I came in with). Would I be a freshman when applying to schools? And would I be allowed to apply to Harvard because they don't accept transfer apps? Thanks.</p>
<p>I am not certain about this and I would contact Harvard admissions directly to verify their policy but, from the answers I have seen in the CC forums, I believe that you would not count as transfer and therefore be allowed to apply.</p>
<p>Good luck and most importantly, take care of your health.</p>
