I started college at Virginia Commonwealth University in 2014. I have to withdraw from college having only completed one full semester and obtaining 10 college credits ( I also have 9 credits while in high school from AP courses.) My question is can I apply to a different college as a freshman or do I have to apply as a transfer student? Thanks in advance.
You must apply as a transfer student, as you have enrolled at a college. If you try to apply as a freshman, anywhere you apply will see the record of you having attended college in the national clearinghouse of this data, and your application would immediately be in jeopardy.
What was your reason for leaving college? Did you leave in good academic standing? This will determine where you should apply as a transfer.
I left in poor standing due to being in the hospital for a total of 2 months. I suppose I can always enroll in a community college so I an build my grades up before transferring to a better college. What are your thoughts?
