<p>My school has a distance learning program through our local community college. So this year (my senior year) I'll be taking college classes taught by professors but at my high school for college credits. My question is...will this affect my application status in any way? I won't be considered a transfer student right??</p>
<p>I took spanish for 3 credits my Junior year.
This year I'm taking Psychology, Sociology, and Calculus (3,3,4 credits)
For a total of 13 credits. </p>
<p>Also, there is a section on the common app that asks you to list the names of any courses you have taken for college credit and the credits you earned. I would list all of these courses here right? It also says to have a transcript sent from the institution. Is this really necessary since these courses are part of my HS curriculum and will be included on my transcript??</p>
<p>Each school has a slightly different policy, but you usually need to reach a certain credit threshold to be considered a transfer or had to have been attending full-time--I don't think 15 credits would be enough. </p>
<p>You should list those courses on the application and you should have the transcripts send from the college...although it might not matter in the applications process, they won't take a third party's word when it comes to evaluating whether or not you get to actually transfer the credits (which may be tricky if they're distance learning courses).</p>
<p>I started dual enrollment in my sophomore year. By the time I graduate, I'll have accumulated more than 70 hours of college credit through various universities, colleges, and distance-learning programs. I'm still applying as a freshman because I was never a full-time student at any of the colleges and universities I took courses at.</p>
<p>Your situation is a really common one. You don't qualify as a transfer under any criteria, so don't worry about that. It is necessary that you send a transcript from the community college to all of the colleges you are applying to.</p>
<p>I have a question concerning my awkward, messy situation: Should I submit an extra page with my applications explaining what I've done the past three years? None of the applications I've looked at allow me to list what I've taken in detail.</p>
<p>"Should I submit an extra page with my applications explaining what I've done the past three years? "</p>
<p>Maybe. I would call up some of the admissions offices and ask what they want. Admissions will only really need to see a list of what you've taken, where you took it and the grade--once you're accepted, they will tell you what information they need to determine whether or not anything will actually transfer. I don't think there's a lot of explaining needed on your part beyond that.</p>
<p>Actually, even if you are a full time student while in high school you can apply as a freshmen (in some case, it's required). This is only if the classes counted towards high school. I currently have 35 credits, and will have about 70 by the time I graduate and plan on applying as a freshmen. You will get some type of advanced standing though, don't worry about it.</p>
