Chance Me- University of Michigan Transfer

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I applied for EA to LSA last year out of high school and got deferred then denied. Looking back, I think it was probably my essays that kept me out, as I completely missed the point of one of them. They got my application for transfer for Fall 2014 LSA a few weeks ago, and I thought I'd see what you guys think about my chances. I know that they recommend transferring after two years, but I hit 60 credits in my first semester, so this is really my only chance.</p>

<p>High School GPA: 3.7
ACT- 34, 10 for writing
SAT- 2180
SAT II- Chem: 770 Math II: 750
EC: Orchestra, Band, Marching Band, Ski Team, LaCrosse, Hockey Coach, lots of community service
AP Scores:
Chem- 4
US GOPO- 3
Calc BC- 5 (AB subscore- 5)
Stats- 5
Lang- 5
Bio- 4
Psych- 4
Lit- 4</p>

<p>Michigan State University:
Accounting/ Finance Major, Sophomore
GPA- 3.65, Dean's List
Credits- 50 (37 AP, 13 Actual)
Current Enrollment: 13 credits
EC: Orchestra, low tier club Hockey, continued community service, intermediate school part time music teacher, part time job
Good Recommendations</p>

<p>And I actually spent time on my essays, including having a family friend that works in admissions at UofM say they're good.</p>

<p>I think I can shave off at least three credits from different credit values for AP scores, so I shouldn't have to ditch any classes to stay within the 60 credit transfer limit.</p>

<p>Thanks to anyone that reads all this.</p>

<p>We are actually very similar statistically, just replace Hockey/Lax with Football/Baseball and shave 2 points off the ACT. I have a 3.7 college GPA and you have a 3.65 at very similar schools academically, were both in band, both deferred and then rejected, and both likely rejected because of essay problems. We even took most of the same APs! </p>

<p>But to answer your question I think we stand a much better chance this time around, a good college gpa to prove your college readiness combined with better essays should get you in for sure. Good luck!</p>
