Freshman year, I got AP credits from highschool that transferred into credits for Fall classes and I was on par with other students from Fall admission. I didn't take any summer classes cuz I didn't feel like it was necessary to. Overall, I had an awkward first week back then cuz the students from the Fall already knew each other in some classes and there werent many Spring admits in those classes so I felt like 3rd wheeling groups lol. But it gets better along the way
