Should I apply as a freshman or transfer student?

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hello! I've been out of high school for about two years now. My work involves traveling (domestically and internationally) and I have taken college classes wherever I have been working at the time. I have earned straight A's in the roughly twenty courses I have taken.</p>

<p>Am I wrong in assuming that I should apply to colleges as a freshman?</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>If you have taken about 20 courses, and they are all 3 credit hours each, you should have about 60 credits which at most schools would make you a sophomore/junior. Apply as a transfer.</p>

<p>Once you have taken college credits, you are a transfer student and have to submit those grades. The number of credits the school you apply to will accept will determine what your standing is.</p>

<p>Also, depending on the number of credits that you have, you may also need to submit high school grades and ACT/SAT scores.</p>

<p>Yes, you have to submit all grades and yes for the OP (with over a year of credits) they will have to apply as a transfer anywhere. </p>

<p>However, the definition of a transfer applicant varies between colleges, so you have to read their websites. For some, taking 1 post-HS college course means you apply as a transfer, others have credit limits, and for some if you’ve completed less than a year of post-HS college, you still qualify as a fr applicant.</p>
