<p>would it be possible for a college sophomore to apply for a spot in the freshman class (instead of already existing classes, where spots are far less likely to be available), thereby increasing his chances of admission?</p>
<p>In short, no.</p>
<p>If you're a college sophomore, you must apply as a transfer student. If you try to hide your college attendance I guarantee the admissions office will find out, and they will deny your entrance instantly, and probably blacklist you should you attempt to apply again. Be careful.</p>
