<p>I'm a high school senior and I am taking all of my classes at a University. I wanted to know if my record would be considered to be one of a transfer student or an incoming freshman. Because basically, I'll be done with my required high school course after my first semester and the next semester I will continue to take college courses. In my reasoning, I'm basically doing my freshmen year of college in my last year of high school. Am I right or am I doing this for nothing? </p>
<p>It depends on the school you are going to. It would have to do a transcript evaluation and choose to credit you with courses. But you would probably a new student unless you are matriculating to the college. Don't expect to get lots of transfer credit or if you do to still not have to take courses in places of those to get out. Univrersities are usually not the greatest at accepting credit from someplace else (in the end it is monitary). I have seen courses from top Ivie's dissallowed by school at or near the bottom of the rankings, even when it was something the ivy was famous for.</p>
<p>If you are taking the college classes now under some kind of non-admitted status for high school students, that is to say you never applied to be a new, incoming freshman to the college, then you will not be considered a transfer applicant. You will, however, have credits you'd like to transfer.</p>
<p>It's up to your destination school to decide, but they can probably give you some idea of their general policy about that if you arrange to discuss it with someone there.</p>
<p>Some things that might happen:
They'll transfer all credits.
They accept some credits, but not all.
They won't accept any, but they'll let you place out of some entry level courses. (You still have to take the same number of classes as anyone else, but you might be able to choose from some higher level courses to accomplish that.)
They'll transcribe the courses and credits, but you'll still have to pay tuition for them at your new college's rates.</p>
<p>In other words there's not much you can count on. If you are taking classes as a high school student at Pleasant State Regional U., and then apply to go to Pleasant State Flagship U as a freshman, then your odds of getting a pretty seamless transfer are increased because state systems tend to be articulated between colleges. Outside of that, it's so variable it's hard to say much about your situation.</p>
<p>The people to talk to are the admissions folks at your destination schools.</p>
<p>So basically it depends on the schools I'm applying to. And you guys were saying that if it were another state school then the process would be eaiser, but if it isn't, a school like Emory for example, I might run into a bit of a wall. And in essence I wouldn't really be completing the prerquistes but taking more challenging classes. Is that correct?</p>
