Some Community College, Transfer or Freshman?

I’ve tried searching but I haven’t found anything that discusses my exact situation. Forgive me if there is and I have missed it.

So here’s the deal:

I am currently 20 years old. I graduated from high school in 2009 with a 3.89 GPA. My SAT score was 1820. I then attended community college for 3 semesters, then stopped to work, re-focus and figure out what I want to do academically.

I would like to attend a school with a Musical Theatre BFA program. I realize that I will have to spend 4 years at school, regardless of what community college courses I’ve taken and I am fine with that. Here’s what I’m confused about: Do I apply as a freshman or a transfer student? I realize that I will need to send my transcripts from the community college I attended, but I don’t think I have received enough credits to qualify as a transfer student (I didn’t do so well during 2 of my semesters at community college).

Has anyone been in this situation? What do I do?

Thanks so much!
