Hi everyone!

Most colleges and universities rely on hours to determine your year. If you've only completed 28 hrs by the end of your freshman year, then you return in the fall as a freshman and will only be elevated to a sophomore once you complete 30 hrs. That being said, how often do people talk about what year they are in college anyway? I was a sophomore after my first semester in college and a junior by the spring semester of my second year. I just got to be a senior for one and 1/2 years before I graduated...doesn't make a bit of difference. I also think that many state colleges around the country allow people to re-enroll without attending another college to get to Junior status before transferring. If everyone did this, then no one would be able to find a place to study until they got enough hours to transfer...every school would expect them to have 90 hours.

Not true for UC schools. You can't drop out of a college freshman year, take off several years, then come back and apply to UC as a transfer. The original poster said she is now living in a new location, so I raised my question because I have never heard of a person attending one college, then being admitted years later somewhere else as a freshman.

So now I am confused: Pinkgirl83, are you going to be at a DIFFERENT university, or the same one?

As far as asking about how often people ask about a person's year in school, it really doesn't matter generally, but I suppose it does indeed matter if this woman (OP) is going through NPC recruitment.
