College of Engineering Transfer

<p>I applied for Freshman admission to the COE for fall 2007. I was waitlisted and then put on the extended waitlist. I think I really was pretty close to getting in out of high school. 3.5 gpa and 28 act. </p>

<p>Anyway, I went to Michigan-Dearborn with hopes of transferring later. After my freshman year I have a 4.0 gpa. I was also lucky and got a paid summer internship for an electrical systems manufacturer. Unfortunately, I am currently taking Calc III for the spring term and may not get an A, which really is a bummer. It's still possible, but it won't be easy. I am still very confident I will be accepted for winter 2009; I'll finish all the prereqs this fall. What are my chances of getting in? I know nothing about the numbers of applicants or anything.</p>

<p>I really do not want to think about losing my 4.0 at this point, so if I keep it am I pretty much guaranteed admission?</p>

<p>I will likely dual major with computer and electrical engineering. Also, I am still considering aerospace but not too much. Is it possible to apply more than once, declaring different majors each time?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>if you have a 4.0, you are set to transfer. you can declare whichever major you want once you transfer into COE, but i think the toughest ones are biomedical engineering because of the small size, mechanical engineering because of so many students, and EE. Frankly, you don't really need a 4.0, you can probably get in with a 3.6, i don't know about applications, but engineering schools in general these days aren't very popular. </p>

<p>not to burst your bubbles, but 28 act and 3.5 from high school was not going to get you into michigan engineering, unless you were an URM, so its not like you had bad luck back then.</p>

<p>watch that 4.0 drop to like 2.8 once u transfer over, haha.</p>

<p>Yeah I didn't have too much hope of getting in out of high school... and I didn't. What is a URM?</p>

<p>URM stands for Under-Represented-Minority, referring to Black, Hispanic and Native Americans during college admissions process.</p>

<p>Don't sell yourself too short...I have plenty of friends from high school with similar ACT scores, maybe slightly higher GPA here at Michigan, many of them in the College of Engineering. My view is that as an in-state student applying to engineering, 28 ACT and 3.7 or so should give you an excellent shot at getting in.</p>

<p>Anyways, with your GPA at UM-Dearborn, you should be all set, even without an A in Calc III.</p>

<p>"28 ACT and 3.7 or so should give you an excellent shot at getting in."</p>

<p>-that's just not true, that's not even average back in my days.</p>

<p>Well, it's not looking too good for keeping the 4.0. I'm just worried they won't like that the last grade they see is a B. Any thoughts on this? I will still have a 3.9 gpa.</p>

<p>You should be fine. My friend got in from Dearborn with about a 3.7</p>

<p>That's good to know. When did he get in, recently? And you are talking about the college of engineering? Thanks!</p>

<p>I have about 40 kids here I know from high school graduating class, I definitely imagine most of them having GPA of 3.7-4.0, 28-30 ACT.</p>

<p>that means they are below the median for admitted students, but they certainly didn't have an "excellent" shot. COE profile says it's 1390, and 30 ACT.</p>
