Disclaimer:
I highly recommend that you don’t lie.

Since you are bent upon applying as a freshman, let me tell you that people from my country (Pakistan) usually lie about the fact that they already enrolled a university here. And apply as a freshman. It happens a lot. Noone ever finds out and noone is willing to hunt that deep. But then again, this is Pakistan.
However, I find myself very similar to the situation you are in. And this is what I am doing… since I messed up my college GPA, I’m applying to colleges that accept students already enrolled at a university. Swallow the bitter pill. And don’t lie. If work hard enough, you will eventually end up in the good place. Why attempt a dangerous, risky short-cut?
My friend, though, applied to Ivies and didn’t tell them about his current education. I think he lied about his ECs too. I won’t be too surprised if he ends up flunking in a lot of courses.
