I know of two people who just applied as freshman instead of transfering (they lied and it worked)

<p>Some schools actually allow students who have completed a limited number of college credits after high school to apply as frosh. However, many do not. Washington’s policy is that any college courses after high school cause you to be a transfer applicant: <a href=“https://admit.washington.edu/QuickAnswers/Tag/28”>https://admit.washington.edu/QuickAnswers/Tag/28&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
