<p>I've taken two classes for college credit and I will take two more next year through a program that gives college credit through the high school. I potentially will have 17 credits if I pass the two classes next year. Would I apply as a freshman or a transfer student?</p>
<p>Depends on the school, but most that my son has looked at you apply as a freshman, as long as you have not taken a break from school after HS.</p>
<p>I graduated HS with 60 credit hours but because of my age they considered me a freshman. However, if you don’t get accepted as a freshman, they might put your application with the rest of the transfer students.</p>
<p>I would apply as a freshman though, they should have areas for dual enrollment courses/AP credit.</p>
<p>This university that I started to apply to said that if I had 10 college credits or more than I’m considered a transfer for some reason. Thanks for all your help. :)</p>
<p>Usually, if you take the courses as dual-enrollment while you are in high school, the college will expect you to apply as a freshman. If you aren’t certain, or of their application form is not clear, call them or ask them in an email.</p>
<p>When schools talk about the number of college credits for transfer admissions, they mean only college courses taken post-HS.</p>
