<p>I'm nearing completion of my AA. It will be finished this fall and I realized towards the end of last year that going for this degree was a mistake. I want to major in CS and none of my classes really apply towards that. I got a well rounded liberal art education, but I know I'd have to start as a freshman in a 4 yr college.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if I could use a transferable AA to not start as a junior, but as a freshman instead? If yes, would it be considered a good or bad thing? I could use the excuse that I was a homeschooled student and started college at the age 16 with no direction. My GPA will only be around a 3.5 though.</p>
<p>By the way, my dream schools are WUSTL, CMU, and WSU. :)</p>
<p>Ok, did you take the classes as a dual credit student or as a regular student?? My sons are homeschooled. One will probably have close to an AA when he graduates but will still enter as a freshman. My oldest is going to major in computer science and all of those hours from cc and AP are helping him:</p>
<p>6 hours in Spanish
6 hours in American History
3 hours in government
6 hours in English
8 hours in Chemistry
8 hours in Physics
I don’t think he will take his Clac credit</p>
<p>So he won’t have many electives left. You do realize that most of those hours in the AA will go toward your CS degree, right? </p>
<p>Now this may all be a mute point because if you enrolled as a regular student then you will be a junior transfer. However, lots of people do dual enrollment and graduate with a high school and AA degree and go in as a freshman.</p>
<p>I don’t see why you have to start as a freshman. A CS degree usually has some Gen Ed req’ts…history, frosh English, etc…and you’ll have those done.</p>
<p>It sounds like you may have to do 3 more years. Be aware though, some schools won’t give 3 years of aid to transfers…some will only give 2.</p>
