<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>I'm not sure about applying as a freshman, but Princeton does not take transfer students, so you can't apply for the class of 2009.</p>
<p>Sorry ontolome, but the admissions office says that if you have taken courses at another university before, you are considered a transfer applicant, and that at this time, they are not accepting transfer applicants. </p>
<p>HOWEVER, I would e-mail them or try to talk to them in some way....juuuuuust in case</p>
<p>Any reason why they don't. In the conversation with my Interviewer he said if I didn't get in that I could still possibly transfer as I was a good candidate, but when I told him abotu Pton's policy he said he was a bit shocked. Apparently, he didn't know...</p>
