Applying as an entering freshman despite prior college experience?

I’d really rather not go into detail due to anonymity, but I’ve been fortunate enough to have an exceptionally successful career in a competitive field. I have some prior experience in college, but I didn’t do well because I considered it a waste of time back then (I was off making money lmao). Now, I’d like to go back to school and get a degree in my field. I’ve always had a passion for learning, just not school itself. I don’t have any desire to transfer credits since I plan on retaking all of those classes anyway. Is there some way I can apply as an entering freshman, not as a transfer student? (assuming I have the other stats and I have this particular valuable life experience, I know it’s still competitive but I’d like to at least be rejected because of merit, not just this technicality)

Thanks!
