<p>Ok, I just have a bunch of questions/clarifications I want to get about Michigan before applying:</p>
<ol>
<li>Can you both dual-enroll in LSA and SAS AND be in the RC?</li>
<li>If you apply rolling in October, when will you get your decision and can you still apply ED to another school?</li>
<li>Do dual enrollment degrees take 4 or 5 years (specifically art/LSA)? How hard are they to get into? Can you end up getting into just one of the two, or is it all or nothing?</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks :)</p>
<p>What is SAS? is RC: Residential College?</p>
<p>I also didn’t find any information about dual enrollment on Michigan’s website. It is only possible from what I’ve found at U-M Dearborn, etc.</p>
<p>If you apply rolling in October you will be notified of your decision in December at the latest.</p>
<p>Now that I’m reading, I’m guessing SAS means School of Arts and Sciences? That is the same as LSA. I’m not really sure what you are asking and I doubt there is any such thing as dual enrollment, although double majoring and even triple majoring is possible.</p>
<p>Maybe Alexandre or other current Michigan students can tell you. I’m an incoming freshman, so I’m not really sure.</p>
<p>There are specific programs for example at Engineering. Once you are a sophomore at Michigan for you to continue taking engineering courses and also take courses at the Stephen M. Ross School of Business. Not sure if this is classified as dual enrollment.</p>
<p>Sorry that I am abbreviating things incorrectly. By SAS I actually meant the School of Art & Design, not sure where SAS came from. RC I did mean as Residential College. I was just starting to look at the application and was getting a bit confused by all of the options.</p>

<p>Well according to the application you can dual enroll(dual unit) and still be in the residential college at LSA because the residential college is only a program in LSA(4 year program).</p>
<p>I don’t think Michigan publishes any statistical data in terms of dual enrollment. So I’m not sure how hard it is to get in, but maybe there are people on this forum that have dual enrolled.</p>
<p>Just adding my two cents, but a classmate is dual-enrolled in the School of Music, Theatre, and Drama and LSA Honors, and she said it would take 5 years for her to graduate.</p>
<p>Application - Prospective undergraduate students may select the School of Art & Design and one other academic unit listed above when they apply online through the University of Michigan Office of Undergraduate Admissions web site [University</a> of Michigan - Office of Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.admissions.umich.edu/]University”>http://www.admissions.umich.edu/). In addition to the online application, prospective students are required to submit a portfolio to A&D [School</a> of Art & Design - Admissions](<a href=“http://www.art-design.umich.edu/admissions.php?aud=u]School”>http://www.art-design.umich.edu/admissions.php?aud=u).</p>
<p>Admission - For each Dual Admission applicant, two separate admission evaluations are carried out, one for the School of Art & Design and one for the other academic unit. Successful applicants for Dual Admission must meet the criteria for admission to both academic units - academic performance, standardized test scores, demonstrated leadership, and extra-curricular accomplishments - as well as an acceptable portfolio for A&D. Depending upon qualifications, applicants may be admitted to both academic units or only one. Students receive two admission decisions from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.</p>
<p>Enrollment - Applicants who are admitted to both units may choose to matriculate in both units or only one. In either case, there is only one matriculation fee.</p>
<p>This is from their website.</p>
<p>I’m sorry if these are stupid questions, but I’m a bit confused on the dual enrollment option (I’m thinking Art&Design/LSA)</p>
<p>Is it possible, if you apply for dual enrollment, to be rejected by one school and get in the other? Or is it a one package deal? Also, can you drop out of one school in the middle of your college career?</p>
<p>Hi there.
My son is pursuing a dual degree from the School of Music and LSA (freshman.) So, here’s what you need to know:
- Yes, it is possible to be accepted by one (eg SAS) and rejected by the other (eg. LSA). You need to be accepted by both. Since SAS is dependent on your portfolio, the criteria for acceptance will be different. It is an intelligent move to at least apply for BOTH in the event you are not accepted by one.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>If you are accepted by both, you will submit an acknowledgment that you intend (still) to pursue both upon submitting your enrollment deposit or receiving the latest notification of the two. In other words, if you are accepted by LSA, then SAS, and then decide you only want to pursue SAS, you have the option of altering your status to reflect same.</p></li>
<li><p>Indeed, it may take you 5 years. For dual degree they do need to be pursued simultaneously, as in, graduating from both at the same time. Don’t worry about this too much now as you will receive excellent counseling at your orientation in the event you pursue both. You will have specialized counseling. Depending on your APs or other credits that can be used, you can proceed more quickly than 5 yrs in some cases if you take summer session or elective summer credits at a community college.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Hope that helps.
Good luck,
K</p>
<p>PS Sirensong – Re: doing a dual degree and RC…We had talked to RC about it and they had offered to be accommodating, so perhaps it IS possible, but in our specific case we found the RC requirements, esp. the 8 credit language req. to be way too much of a scheduling issue with SOM.
S. is, however, doing the Lloyd Hall Scholars program. Adding the third set of requirements will always make scheduling a challenge but can make for a great combo. S. is delighted with his : )</p>
