<p>niceguy, I understand that transfer students to a BFA program often have to spend three to four years at their new college. However, they still apply as transfer applicants, not as freshmen applicants.</p>
<p>I am having trouble understanding your situation. You wrote that by the time you transfer, you will have completed two years of college. </p>
<p>To my knowledge, those who have enrolled in a degree program at a college (associates or bachelors) are considered transfer applicants, not freshmen applicants (regardless of where they are placed once they enroll at the BFA program). Have you just been taking some college classes or were you actually enrolled in a college for the past two years? </p>
<p>Here is what NYU says as to who would be a transfer applicant:</p>

<p>[Transfer</a> Applicants](<a href=“How to Apply”>How to Apply)</p>
<p>This is typical at most colleges. It has nothing to do with how many of your credits they will accept but has all to do with if you have been previously enrolled as a degree student at a former college or not. Those who have been must apply as a transfer applicant. Did NYU know you were enrolled in college for two years? Were you in a BA or AA degree program? Just curious… as it would help to learn more about it as this seems unusual unless I am misunderstanding. </p>
<p>Congrats on your great acceptances. Many would envy your choices.</p>
