<p>I want to apply(and maybe reapply) to colleges that I want to go, and I'm going to get the best grades and be really involved. However, should I apply after freshman year or sophomore year? Would applying after freshman year be enough time for me to show my accomplishments? And would college(generally) prefer transfer students be freshman or sophomore?</p>
<p>When talking about transferring, one usually refers to when you will be entering the new school, not when you apply, so most students transfer as entering sophs or jrs. </p>
<p>As stated by another member in your other thread, when you apply as a soph transfer, you will only have completed 1 sem of college (and perhaps submitted a midsem report for spring) when the decision is made. Therefore, more weight is put on your HS record as a soph transfer.</p>
