Questions about transferring

I have some questions about transferring, my high school was virtually nonexistent when it came to preparing us for college.

I’ve been attending a local Community College for 2 years, and I’m into the 3rd year at the moment. I’ll have 68 credit hours after this semester. Next semester I can take just one 1 credit hour class (69 total) and get an AA degree. Or if I take two classes, 5 credit hours more, (73 total) I’ll get an AS degree. [Going to take the extra class for the AS though]

Now I’m confused as to whether it’s better to just apply to UT as a transfer student in the process of doing the first two years or is it beneficial to apply as someone who already has an AA/AS degree?

My goal is the College of Natural Sciences and I have a 3.609 GPA. I’m expecting this to rise a little, maybe 3.7 at most, though I’m unsure.

I’ll probably end up with 81 credit hours in total, and you will probably say some won’t be transferred but just ignore that for now, it isn’t an issue unless it causes some sort of actual problem.

Thanks in advanced, I’m really clueless when it comes to this stuff. :
