Question about transferring

If someone transfers to another school, can they ask for freshman status once they are admitted instead of sophomore status? I’d have 26 credits not counting APs starting next year and I’d be fine taking freshman year again so I have the chance to be “new” with everyone else instead of starting alone as a sophomore

When you transfer, the college or university that admits you will decide which of your courses (if any) to grant credit for, and what your class status is. The transfers I know met a lot of people at transfer orientation. Depending on your major and general education requirements, you could find yourself in a lot of classes with freshmen students in your first year at the new place.
