Am I a Sophomore or not? (27 credits)

I am applying for a Spring Co Op at BB and the deadline is November 20. I finished 27(5+4 classes) credits in my first year. It take 120 to graduate from my school. I'm taking 18 credits this semester (6 classes) but I will finish those classes after the deadline.

The Co Op is for Sophomores. So can I apply to this or not?

Thanks!

On paper you're not, as its 30 credits to be a sophomore on the semester system. Although you could probably spin it off and do your best to convince the recruiter to let you pass by. But if you're asking this question, that's probably not possible - prove me wrong though.

 

@1000Talents: I really think it is a relevant question.

I am not going to put Freshmen or Sophomore on my Resume. I am going to put: B.S. in Economics Expected May 2014.

Now, if I do get a called for an interview, I either bring it up then or it comes up in my background check.

But I am going to go ahead and apply. Let's see what happens.
