<p>What I mean is I'll officially have 45 credits by the time my application is submitted but by the time I potentially enroll I'll have over 60.</p>
<p>Here's the kicker, I'm sure I'l have a handful of classes that won't transfer, dropping me below the 60+, putting me back into sophomore status.</p>
<p>So, I assume I just apply as a sophomore transfer? Thanks.</p>
<p>Colleges will tell you when they accept you (or a little after that) which credits they are accepting. The number of credits they accept will determine your standing at your new college.</p>
<p>I think his question is on the transfer application, does he consider himself transferring as a sophomore or as a junior based on the credits he has earned at the current college.</p>
<p>If you will have completed the equivalent of only one year of college (usually 30 semester hours) when you start at the new place in the fall, you are a Sophomore Transfer. If you will have completed the equivalent of two years of college (usually 60 semester hours) you are a Junior Transfer.</p>
<p>Junior Transfer is usually a better option (if you are eligible) because your HS records are less important. Also, if you are admitted as a Junior, you will have registration priority over Sophomores.</p>
<p>happymomof1, is that before or after the credit evaluation process which occurs after acceptance…</p>
<p>You need to have 60 credits that transfer to the new school, then you are considered a junior transfer.</p>
