<p>If you've taken classes at another college, (and are taking classes there right now), pertinent to your planned major, are you ineligible as far as applying to Princeton goes?</p>
<p>Their web site:</p>
<p>Who Can Apply
If you have already started a college or university degree program elsewhere, you are not eligible to apply for admission to Princeton. We accept students who will begin their freshman year in the fall. Princeton does not offer spring semester entry or a transfer admission option.</p>
<p>Have I started a degree program? I've got 21 credits from the university.</p>
<p>If you are a high school student, you are fine. If you enrolled in that university, and are not enrolled at any high school, that means you are already a college student, and princeton doesn't accept transfer students. Otherwise, I have friends here that have taken classes at colleges while they were highschoolers.</p>
<p>(In fact, I know one person that took 3 years of undergrad physics at the University of Washington.)</p>
<p>hmmm just taking a shot in the dark here, but what if he applies to start on a clean slate as a freshman at Princeton, instead of asking to transfer credits?</p>
<p>I believe screwitlah is correct. You might still be able to apply to Princeton if you forego all of your previous college credits and say you took time off from pursuing full-time post-secondary education, although you have taken some classes because you were interested in them.</p>
