Hey all,
I graduated High with an Associate’s degree and currently taking a Gap Year now after high school. Applying(/ed) to universities and scholarships: am I a returning Adult student ?

How old are you? Are you at least 24 years old? For not, you are still a dependent student

No, you’re not.

Even tho you earned an AA while in high school, you are an incoming freshman. Later your AA will get applied, but you apply as an incoming freshman.
