Do you mean that you transferred from another HS overseas to your current HS in the USA? If you are a current senior are you planning to take a gap year?
If you are in HIGH SCHOOL, and those college classes were earned while in high school, then you are not a transfer student. You would apply as an incoming frosh.
Do not apply as a transfer…less merit, less aid.
Yes exactly and yes i am planninh to take a gap year to get used to everything here
Ok thank you
@mom2collegekids: I wouldn’t say that is absolutely true.
I’ve seen many LACs where the scholarship for Phi Theta Kappa (CC honors society) is almost as high as their biggest merit scholarship for freshmen and obviously, if you can get enough credits to transfer (and are focused enough) to graduate in two years, that’s a big cost savings.
2Y CC+2Y full-pay would actually be cheaper than 4Y with a half-tuition scholarship from the same school.
