Should I apply as a freshman or a transfer student?

<p>Hello all,
I have been doing dual enrollment at Valencia since my junior year. Hopefully I will get my AA or close to it by the time I graduate next year. But I am a little confused. My DE counselor told me that UCF prefers to have students apply as freshman, and that I could get better scholarships. So can anyone clear this up for me? So if I apply as a freshman, do I still skip two years of undergraduate? Or do I have to start 4 years all over again? Or should I apply as a transfer, does it make any difference? I'm also trying to get into the Burnett honors college and I am in Valencia honors, so I think if I transfer I might be able to transfer directly into UCF honors. Any advice?</p>
