I’m an OOS student. My intended major is computer science through the college of engineering. However, being OOS and having engineering majors be usually the most competitive, I am not sure if I will get in with my current stats.
My back up plan is to apply to LSA’s CS program, which actually might end up what I’ll be doing since I want to do a math double major (and that’s through LSA as well, so the credits are allowed to overlap more than if they were in separate colleges.)
I was wondering if UMich looked at intended major through what college.
Can somebody move this to the University of Michigan thread? I accidentally put it in the musical theater program.
You should apply directly to LSA CS since you may want to double major with math.
There’s always a process of admission by college (but getting into LSA is no walk in the park )
@alexandre?
https://cs.lsa.umich.edu/prospective-students/advising.html says that LSA students need to earn a 2.5 GPA in the four prerequisite courses to declare the LSA CS major.
https://advising.engin.umich.edu/declaring-or-changing-major/ says that engineering students can freely choose their majors (2.0 GPA required).
Choice of LSA or engineering presumably can matter for admission selectivity.
Freshmen admissions is done by school/college.
