<p>Will try to transfer as an econ major</p>
<p>I just transferred in from a CC in Michigan, and it really isn’t as hard is at may seem. Generally, if you have 55+ credits and a ~3.6 or higher, you should get in (at least for LSA, that is). </p>
<p>With a 3.8 and 33 credits completed, 58 pending, I got in for Econ and Math. HS grades and standardized test scores matter less as you get closer to the 55 credit hour mark. Just try and write good essays and you shouldn’t have a problem.</p>
<p>It’s also very important to get in touch with your counselors before this upcoming semester, to make sure that the classes you’ll be taking this winter semester do indeed transfer over and that you are taking the best course load to be on your way to finishing the Area Distribution, which is a requirement for all LSA students. The counselor will help you figure out the details of all that, and it is certainly best to have it as close to finished as possible before you would enroll. </p>
<p>Let me know if you have any other questions, feel free to PM me and get my email if you want.</p>
<p>Thank you for the reply. I’m a bit confused about the area distribution. I saw the area distribution on their website around a year ago but I can’t seem to find it anymore on their updated transfer website. I ended up asking admissions and they told me that an econ transfer doesn’t have any requirements for transferring. Can you elaborate more on the area distribution?</p>
<p>I just found the area distribution on Umich’s lsa website. From my understanding, this is a graduation requirement and not a transfer requirement right? Thank you.</p>
