<p>So I applied to Michigan last admissions cycle(class of 2011) and got denied as a freshman. I expected it as I was applying with a 2.7 g.p.a. but now I am back applying as a transfer hopefully for Winter semester. </p>
<p>I have a 32 ACT (33 superscore), 31 credits and a 3.716 college g.p.a. I believe that I am above the curve for LSA for in-state in most aspects but still am quite worried. </p>
<p>Now I am worried as I did get denied last year and I have a cumulative highschool gpa of 2.8, (3.55 senior year). I also don't have any in depth extracurricular activities to talk about as a college student. Please chance me and thank you for reading. </p>
<p>I also am a student at Wayne State/UM Dearborn and am taking a full load of classes at the moment so by the time I get to Michigan I will have much more than the 31 credits.</p>
<p>I doubt it, for someone with as weak of a high school record as you, the only way you’re getting in is with at least 55 credits. Besides, if you applied as a freshman, shouldn’t that mean you are a first semester freshman right now? Do you have 31 credits that you already have grades for or is that adding the amount of credits you have this semester as well? If you only have about 5 classes with good grades, you have no shot with that high school GPA. I think your best shot is after this year, as a sophomore transfer because you will have so many credits. Transfer admissions is much more straight forward in that all that matters is credits and GPA. Essays and ECs take a secondary importance and only matter for borderline cases. You fall way short of borderline at the moment, Michigan won’t even see your freshman first semester grades. </p>
<p>I applied as a transfer, after getting waitlisted and denied as a freshman, for sophomore transfer and was denied with a 3.6 high school GPA, 3.7 college GPA, 31 credits and a 33 ACT so that should give you some perspective on what it takes. I’m trying again right now for winter 2012 and I will have 46 credits and a 3.72 GPA so now it’s just wait and see for me. The admissions officer said that everything was looking good for me and that there was a chance I could get in next semester, depending on the strength of the applicant pool. Hopefully I’ll get in this time. Anyways, keep up the hard work and good luck!</p>
<p>a) Did you apply to LSA or Ross?<br>
b) I have grades for 9 classes at 3.71 level in addition to 4 5’s, and a 4 on AP tests taken this year.<br>
c) Were you in state or out of state?</p>
<p>a) LSA
b) AP scores are simply considered, they aren’t really added to the college credits part. I also have 22 AP credits that Michigan would count and if that were the case I would have 68 credits instead of 46.
c) IS</p>
<p>That is super depressing. Well best of luck to you next semester, I now need to find more winter transfer schools since State decided not to open their winter application this year.</p>
<p>Yeah, I know. It sucks and I also had state as one of my winter transfer schools cuz I’m going to an OOS school right now and can’t really afford it after they slashed my scholarship. Basically for me its Michigan or Western.</p>
<p>You could try after like 45 credits. I had similar stats to you in HS (slightly higher gpa, and lower ACT), and got in as a sophmore winter transfer with a 3.8 cumulative college GPA.</p>
<p>Sneakerhead91- That’s some really good news actually. It gives me hope at least for getting in.</p>
<p>Wait Anthony, were you only applying with like 16 credit hours on your transcript last round? Or did you have 31 completed then? I’ll have 50 total by the end of the semester so I might be on near the same footing as you minus the highschool gpa?</p>
<p>I was applying with 15 credits completed yes. If you completed some of your college credits in high school, UM doesn’t really count it the same way as if you completed it during college, they sort of count it as a high school course. My friend took courses at UM as a senior but UM does not count them toward his GPA, they incorporate into his high school GPA.</p>
<p>Are you talking dual enrolled courses? Like they counted for his graduation requirements? Because none of my high school courses count as those.</p>
<p>No, he already finished his math requirements for high school. He just wanted to keep taking math courses so he took Calc 3 and Calc 4 at Michigan.</p>
<p>Complete the first two years (check major and see what the required classes are for uofm transfer) at you current college and keep grades up. At that point they wont care about high school or act/sat scores.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
