Admissions Advice

Should I apply as a transfer or a first year?

Hello everyone,

I am an international student and I am facing an issue. I am studying overseas in a management school but would like to apply to an American university. Because I am not sure I want to keep studying management, and because European college credits are unlikely to work the same way as the American ones, I was wondering if I should apply as a transfer or a first year.

Thank you everyone for your answers.
