[ *] Other Factors/questions: i really want to get in, but was it a bad idea to have applied to engineering? i really want to be a civil engineer, and if i had applied to LSA instead, would my chances have been better? and would i been able to transfer afterwards??</p>
<p>really nervous about getting in. Michigan is my top choice, so even though the longer i wait the more i feel like a deferral is coming my way, I'm trying to be a little hopeful.
any comments would be appreciated :) be honest cuz i really want the truth</p>
