<p>Michigan State - Safety

<p>Yes @billcsho‌, I am a Michigan resident.</p>

<p>@jm9715‌ You are match to low match for CoE at UMich as in state. There is no need to apply LSA and then transfer afterward. Your GPA & ACT are at the 75%.</p>

<p>@billcsho Well, I think the safest route would be applying LSA. Are there any disadvantages of doing this? I’ve heard of people who have gotten denied with similar stats.</p>

<p>^ Rejection with this stat at UMich CoE may happen but not likely for in state students. I would suggest you to try EA to CoE. If deferred, then you may consider switching to LSA (although I don’t think that would be necessary). You may do cross campus transfer, but that may delay the schedule of some classes for engineering. In case you get a school specific scholarship, it is not likely you can carry it with you after the transfer. Also, you need to fulfill certain requirement to be competitive in the application for cross campus transfer. It is feasible, but it is also a kind of hassle. You need to write another essay and submit the application with resume. You also need to take those required courses.
