Should I fill out the Common App as a first-year or transfer student???

I'm an incoming high school senior and I'm just starting to fill out the common app. The trouble is that I'm also a dual-enrollment student, and I've been attending community college full time since the beginning of my junior year. By the end of this school year, I will graduate from said community college with an associate of arts, and I will have completed 60 credits worth of college level classes. When I began filling out the application, I registered myself as a transfer student because I figured I would have enough college under my belt, but now they're only requesting my college GPA and transcript and I'm a little bit bewildered. Did I make the right decision to fill it out as a transfer student? If not, how do I change it back, and will the first-year application allow me to account for all of my college credits? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Do I really need to take the SAT with a cumulative ACT score of 30?

I'm not trying to get in anywhere fancy; most of the schools on my roster right now are state universities (UofW-Madison, UIC, etc.). From what I understand, the SAT is much more math-focused than the ACT, and math has never really been my strong suit. The only reason I placed fairly well with the ACT is because I got near perfect English and Reading scores (35 and 33 respectively). I also personally don't see the necessity in it, but I would appreciate a second opinion or two before I miss the test deadlines and have to study like mad. Thank you!

I need somebody to dispell my anxiety please

I know it's irrational for me to be worrying because the chances are so slim, but my period is 12 days late on an iud and I've been having super intense pms-like mood swings. I've had a Mirena in for about 10 months now. The last time I had sex was two weeks ago on Monday, and my period should've started on Thursday the 9th, so I should've been in the luteal phase from what I can tell. My boyfriend also used the pull-out method, which I know isn't foolproof, but I figure that combined with the iud the chances of conception would be lower than low. I just need somebody to confirm or deny my thoughts on this; I think worrying about it might be pushing my period off even further.

Thank you!
