<p>I interned at microsoft, my boss a U MICH alumni sent a rec to them sealed and i heard Microsoft actually has a fairly big presense there, is it true? My stats are a lil low 3.4 u mich 2140 730 cr 690 m but i took 3 aps jun year 1 honor, 3 honors soph year..so i was wondering what will happen w/ my internship</p>
<p>some one answer him lol he's been posting this like at least twenty times haha. hopefully u get in cuz my gpas 3.4 too... good luck to us both</p>
<p>first of all, if you spell presence as 'presense'.. i don't think it'll matter that much if your essays reflect your writing skills.. haha :]</p>
<p>anyways, microsoft definitely has a big presence on campus obviously due to job offers, internships, etc.</p>
<p>oh really awesome hahahah!</p>
<p>Microsoft generally hires a lot of Michigan students on an annual basis. Then again, most desirable and exclusive companies list Michigan as one of their top hunting grounds. Among the tech giants, Intel, IBM and Microsoft all hire extensively from the University. Over the last 4 years, Michrosoft hired 27 Ross undergrads (and even more Ross MBAs). That's a pretty hefty number considering Ross only has 350 students per BBA class and 400 students per MBA class. Roughly as many Ross Juniors landed internships at Microsoft over the last 4 years. Intel also hires a significant number of Ross undergrads. </p>
<p>The College of Engineering also has ties with the major Aerospace and technology companies. GE, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, NASA, Northrup Grumman, IBM, Intel and Microsoft each hire several Michigan Enigeerings annually. Over the last 4 years, Microsoft hired 45 Michigan engineers (both graduate and undergraduate). So between Ross annd the CoE alone, Microsfot has hired 100 or so Michigan students (roughly half of which were undergrads) over the last 4 years. I'd say that's a pretty big presence on the Michigan campus. And don't worry dude, Engineerings aren't expected to spell the word "presence" correctly! Hehe!!!</p>
<p>alsjdfl;kasjd...mmm jsut cmae back from a double apple hooka mmm..LOL anyway im really happy that Microsoft has such a big PRESENCE there but will the fact i interned there as a sophmore/junior and had my boss a U Mich Alumni help me out a great deal if im some what borderline ^stats in first post.</p>
<p>Flong, your experience at Microsoft will be highlighted as one of your interesting ECs, but it will not influence to final decision that much. It could serve as a tie-breaker, but ultimately, your GPA and SAT will relied on the most.</p>
<p>Wait... You interned at Microsoft in your soph and junior years? I didn't know they take them in so young. Did you do any significant work during your internship? If so, ask your boss the Michigan alum to also send a mail to his professor at the department. If they like you, they may be able to help.</p>
<p>Yup. I helped make XBOX sounds and cut sound files for XBOX and XBOX 360 consoles. I think it's too late to ask my boss to email his prof, my app was completed early January and damn i was hoping my internship+a sealed rec letter from my boss who was a mich alumni would help me out a little more. Becuase a 3.4 uw and a 2140 one sitting (690 m 730 cr) is not exactly Michigan material but im hoping the fact i took 2 honos freshman year, 3 soph year, and 3 aps sand 1 honors juinor year will help...AHHHH lol oh well</p>
<p>So did you make that WOOOAAWWWW BOOM BOOM BOOM wagagaagaag duwaahhwaaa du du xbox startup sound?</p>
