<p>Mtguy, if you’ve been a matriculated student at a community college (or any other college), you will be considered a transfer, not a freshman applicant. </p>
<p>I’m not sure that any amount of college credits will “nix” your high school grades (you will still have to supply your h/s transcript) but doing well in college will always be a good thing, and the more college credits you have, the less important your high school grades will be. Having said that, I don’t remember hearing of transfer applicants to Tisch who were juniors. It’s usually done after freshman year and the student goes into freshman studio even though they may have sophomore standing. </p>
<p>It might be a good idea for you to give Tisch a call and discuss this now before you plan on doing it and then find out in two years that it isn’t going to work. They’re nice people and they can give you the official word.</p>
