Absolutely. The amount of money available to freshmen students is signicantly more than transfer students are awarded. If this student can maintain her freshman status, whatever their losses are could be offset by a much better FA/scholarship package than she would get as a transfer student.

<p>However, the fact that she has started classes at a college after high school graduation may disqualify her from frosh application at some colleges (e.g. the UC wording about “enrolled” rather than “completed credits” at a college). If this route is to be seriously considered, she needs to check carefully whether her target schools will accept a frosh application from her.</p>
