Does it matter whether you apply as a sophomore or junior?

I am trying to transfer and I am considered a sophomore at my current college + will be getting my AA in May. However, a few of my credits were earned from high school-community college dual enrollment courses.

The schools I am applying to really seem to vary in what transfer credits they’ll accept - one school says they will accept whatever high school credits my previous college accepted and some other schools are much stricter.

Should I indicate on the CommonApp that I am applying as a sophomore or a junior? Does selecting one over the other affect my chances? Would selecting one over the other be considered “right” or “wrong”?

ahhhhh, anyone?
