<p>I am from India. I plan to apply to US universities for their fall semester, 2010. My problem is that i had previously studied in an indian university for four months. After that i dropped out because i wasn't satisfied with my subject and i wanted to change my area of study. I was studying english, but i want to graduate in biological sciences. My university doesn't have a credit system, and i was there for such a short time that i had given no exams and i have no grades. I have heard that students who have stated college education need to apply as transfers but i want to start as a freshman. And i also got 2250/2400 on my SAT-1. So, i have these following questions:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>SINCE I HAVE NO GRADES AND NO CREDITS, CAN I APPLY AS A FRESHMAN?</p></li>
<li><p>IF I APPLY AS A FRESHMAN, SHOULD I MENTION MY COLLEGE EXPERIENCE? WILL THERE BE ANY COMPLICATIONS IF I DON'T MENTION IT?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Most colleges would let you (/require you) to apply as a freshmen because you have no transfer credits. Check the websites of the individual colleges you are interested in.</p>

<p>The easiest thing to do would be to not mention at all your college time. Just apply as a Freshman and provide all the relevant high school materials as if you are still a senior. As long as you have formally dropped out of your university, there shouldn’t be a problem.</p>
