Do NOT do this as it might affect eligibility for merit scholarship money.[/quote]

If he did not get into these schools he needs to lower his standards and apply to realistic schools.  Working for a year isn’t going to get him in a better school with merit aid.  [/quote]

The point is that he needs to apply as an incoming/new freshman, not a transfer.[/quote]

Yes, this is a concern. However, to be considered a transfer, a certain number of college credit hours must be completed. A couple of courses will not change the son's status.[/quote]

Yes it will. At many schools, any college classes taken after HS graduation make you a transfer student.[/quote]

All the more reason for OP’s child to pick up the phone, call the college & ask for their policy on that. Or he can email admissions and the registrar. No biggie.[/quote]

In order to qualify as a transfer student, most colleges require a minimum number of credit hours (typically 30 semester hours). However, enrolling in even one or two college courses often makes one ineligible for freshman merit scholarship awards.[/quote]
