<p>I'm a junior in HS, and was wondering if there was a certain number in which would classify me as a transfer? I'm roughly going to have 28-34 credits through dual-credit classes and actual classes at a community college if I enter UT. Would I just be classified as a Sophomore or would having this much credit hinder me? (Also, I'll be in the top 10% when I graduate and I just don't want to be considered a Transfer student...)</p>
<p>Thanks for your help.</p>
<p>from what i've read, high school students, regardless the number of credits they have, will not be classified as transfers. you can,however, be classified as a sophmore if you have enough credits.</p>
<p>I applied with 12 hours of college credit and about 9 hours of AP credit and I was classified as a freshmen and non transfer.</p>
<p>But I'm not sure about you though because I think over 30 hours of credit is consider a sophomore. I think it's best if you email them and ask about it, they might be busy but I emailed them alot during the year and they always reply back really fast (usually within a day or two)</p>
<p>i applied from high school with 30 hrs at a community college plus more AP hours as an incoming freshman non transfer student and got in that way. im pretty sure you have to be out of high school and attend a college for at least a semester to transfer in.</p>
<p>I'll be entering as a freshman with 24 college hours. But as long as you're still in high school, you wont be considered a transfer, you'll be a freshman or sophomore depending on your credits. But I want to warn you about something, if you go in with 30 or more hours (sophomore classification) then you wont be able to get any freshman scholarships or aid, you'll be treated strictly as a sophomore. That's the only reason why I don't have 30 hours, I don't want to miss out on the money.</p>
<p>i have 67 credit hours soo... i dunno</p>
<p>So pretty much,</p>
<p>Over 30 is considered a Sophomore status? If that's the case with the scholarship (btw... does UT give a lot of scholarship $ or have you heard anything in regards to that?) then I should try to stay under 30...</p>
<p>Thanks for all your help.</p>
<p>Yeah, so if you still want to be considered a freshman, I would stay under 30 hours. But UT is pretty stingy with their scholarships. I mean, considering how many people apply...</p>
<p>If you are applying as a HS senior, you will have zero hours of AP/CLEP credit, even if you took CC courses in high school, until you petition UT for credit. UT does not automatically award you credit. See the following to see how college credits are awarded.</p>
<p>Yeah, I figured the scholarships would be stingy...</p>
<p>Thanks m1817 for the info - I would've probably missed that next year.</p>
<p>don't you have to petition for credit from CC classes as well?</p>
<p>aarosurf, I don't know the answer to your question, but the following website may help (or it may raise more questions).</p>
