High School-College Qustion HELP?

Question

Hell, I'm an incoming Senior this fall in high school and I'm very excited about the whole college application process. I've been taking some college courses at a community college and I'm already done with 9 credit hours. I plan to reach about 30-32 is hours by the time I graduate, and hopefully I'll be a sophomore in standing. My question is, will colleges accept me as an incoming freshman or will I have to go to a different application process where I'm considered as a "transfer" student? Does it all depend on the college? Am I a rare case? I would love to get some feedback.

I'm in the exact same position. I'll be a senior this fall and I am dually enrolled. I have a bunch of credit hours and the main concern for me was if my college of choice would take them. I'm in Georgia and the dual enrolled program I'm in guarantees that all the public colleges/universities in Georgia will take my credits (UGA ,Gatech, GSU) etc. but most schools outside of Georgia might not. This could be a problem if you wanted to go out of state, ( I don't though, I plan on going to Tech) you will have to ask your councler which school will take your credits. And I thought I would be counted as a transfer student because I will have enough credits to be a junior, but no. To qualify as a transfer student you must have completed one year of college at an institution after you have received you high school diploma. So even though I will graduate with a associates degree and a high school diploma I will be counted as a freshman because I would have completed high school the same time I received my degree therefore discounting me as a transfer.
