<p>Congrats Villagemom!! I’m hoping I get to hear the same exciting news too!!!</p>
<p>By the way, am I the only one who’s still waiting on a decision from LSA?</p>
<p>@Parkerm1 I am waiting to hear back from LSA too…</p>
<p>Aww, thanks, everyone! I have pretty much not stopped crying and smiling (at the same time) all day. I must look unhinged.</p>
<p>~Fingers crossed~ for all who are still waiting.</p>
<p>LSA here too. My file has been complete for a few weeks, so I keep thinking “any day…”</p>
<p>LSA here too.</p>
<p>What are you guys transferring as?</p>
<p>LSA, an international student in VA… Did you guys receive email when you got accepted?</p>
<p>Sophomore, junior?</p>
<p>Junior… I will have a AS degree after this semester…</p>

I only received my acceptance email a couple days ago, but I was accepted on Wolverine Access February 1st. No idea what took them so long…</p>

Technically I’ll have junior standing, but for all intents and purposes I consider myself an incoming freshman (basically I just went to community college instead of high school).</p>
<p>Oh, I get it… So I need to check W if I want to know immediately… Thanks!</p>
<p>PDKfan, that’s like my exact situation, but I took some stupid classes at my CC, so not all of them are transferable. How were your course loads, rigorous?</p>
<p>My son sounds like several of you. He’ll be transfering in as a junior but he just turned 18 and this will be his first time on a major college campus. We homeschool and used community college as his high school. He, too, will have an associate’s degree after this semester.</p>
<p>For him, Wolverine Access had a decision before an email arrived. I checked it all morning and there was nothing at 10:43am. I checked again at 10:45am and there was a link “View Decision”. A couple of hours later the email arrived.</p>

<p>I guess it depends what you mean by “rigorous”. It’s not like my classes were a complete joke or anything (well, maybe some of them were). I generally enjoyed them and managed to learn a lot, but I certainly never felt challenged. It definitely didn’t feel like what a college education should be - if I transferred and graduated from Michigan in two years, I would feel like I got half a degree. Not because the quality of education at my community college is poor, necessarily, but because there are so many opportunities at Michigan that simply aren’t there at my CC. </p>
<p>For example, I’m a math major. I plan on getting a PhD in mathematics from top institution and becoming a researcher. Michigan has a program that’s perfect for people like me - you take a certain sequence of courses your first two years, and then take graduate level/(or other advanced) classes as a junior and senior. During the summers, many people participate in research or directed study. This program is supposedly an excellent preparation for top notch graduate program, but it’s designed to take four years.</p>
<p>Even if managed to complete all the requirements in two years (which is certainly possible, although probably not easy), I would still be at a tremendous disadvantage when it comes to grad school applications senior year - I would be competing against people who have three years of coursework and research experience, while I would have only one. </p>
<p>On the plus side, I have almost all my gen-ed requirements fulfilled. Which basically means four years of math/comp sci classes (with a couple exceptions - still gotta get that language requirement out of the way). Yay!</p>
<p>@Mistasuggs Thanks, I hope you are right. I’m just wondering whether my 20 out of 30 points in the speaking section of the TOEFL test will hurt me (though my total score was 104/120) </p>
<p>And @Villagemon congratulations to your family!</p>
<p>@Parkerm Junior, LSA here</p>
