<p>hi..I actually having problem deciding whether to apply as freshmen or transfer.Can somebody tell me what is the advantage of applying as transfer because most of my friend prefer to go as transfer..but for me.I would like to apply as freshmen. I just get confuse</p>
<p>Typically, you have to apply as a transfer if you have any college work completed after high school graduation.</p>
<p>Applying as a freshman is usually advantageous, since many colleges do not accept many transfers. Many also do not give as much in the way of scholarships and/or financial aid. Most transfer students are community college students transferring to their in-state public universities, which tend to be the most transfer-friendly in admissions and financial aid. Usually, they started at community college because they cannot afford all four years at four year schools, or they did not have the high school academic credentials to get into a suitable four year schools as freshmen.</p>
<p>Check each college website, and find out whether that place considers you a transfer or a freshman. If you can’t figure it out, email the admissions office and ask. Each place sets its own policy about this so youmau be a freshman applicant at College A but a transfer applicant at University B. There truly is no easy way to predict.</p>
<p>Even if you do apply as a freshman, once you are admitted and your transferrable credits are evaluated, you may be reclassified as a sophomore or junior by second semester. Even if you are admitted as a transfer, you might find out that your credits don’t transfer as much at all, and you could be classified as a freshman.</p>
<p>So, to repeat, ask each admissions office separately, and if you don’t understand the answers, ask for further clarification.</p>
