<p>Hi there! I'm going to take a gap year, and take a few classes at the community college during this year. Would I still apply to colleges as a transfer, even if I don't take a full course load?</p>
<p>It depends on the school. Some consider you a transfer with 1 post-HS college course, others have credit or time limits. You need to check each college website for their definition of a transfer vs. fr applicant.</p>
