Transfer or RD

<p>hi i'm a senior in high shool and i didn't get into colleges (like NW and Colby) i wanted to go so i have to go to my safety school.
i want to know if i can apply to colleges as a freshman after spending an year at the college i'm going this year? or do i have to apply as a trasfer student?
p.s- i didn't take any AP classes because my school does not offer them
(i know.... my school sucks.......)</p>
