Fall 2013 Transfer Thread

<p>You can transfer a maximum of 60 credits, but you don’t need that many to make the move. I only had 12 credits when I applied last year (ended the year with 24 - of which UofM accepted 21), so you certainly have ‘enough.’ </p>

<p>I would imagine your HS gpa would carry little weight for you at this point. Good luck!</p>

<p>Grade trend definitely holds a lot of weight, and you’ve shown that you’re improving. Your college GPA is gonna help you out a lot, as well as your essays which say that you’ve figured out the way to succeed at a higher academic level. I don’t think they take EC into consideration THAT much compared to GPA, but having leadership positions and volunteering are definitely recommended. Overall, I’d say you have a good shot, and best of luck!</p>

<p>hey I am planning on transferring for winter term but i am just wondering about housing. Where are all yall living at UM?? On or off campus, i called housing and they said they dont know if housing will be available for winter term. I am from out of state and i dont know anyone in ann arbor so i am unsure where i will live and i dont really wanna live off campus my first semester at UM?</p>

<p>@RelSparty you think I have a decent chance even with only 36 credits completed? I keep hearing/reading that anything >45 credits will put you in a good range, but idk if that’s >45 pending credits or already completed when you apply. :confused: If I were to be admitted, I would then have 54 completed credits. </p>

<p>Also, some of my credits will only transfer there as departmental, but none of them are non-transferable. So does that mean they will take 54 of my 54 credits? (if i were to get in of course :/)</p>

<p>@chickenfried what were you stats? you were admitted right, so what was your college and hs stats?</p>

<p>Lulu, they consider the courses that you’re taking right now, so they would count the 54 pending. It would be better if you didn’t have that many departmental credits, but I don’t think that’s a HUGE deal, since I got in and I had a bunch of departmental credits. They just want to make sure that you’ll be in a position to succeed at Umich and won’t have to waste too much time taking a bunch of pre reqs all over again. Hope that helps!</p>

<p>Lulu, they care much more about GPA than amount of credits. I got in with 43 credits and only applied with 28. It can happen! Good luck :)</p>

<p>Avita, what were your HS stats like? I know if you did well in HS, it is MUCH easier for you to be admitted early into UM. I had terrible HS stats so idk :frowning: I am so worried I will be denied again. I’m sorry if I am driving you all crazy! Hahaha</p>

<p>My high school stats weren’t great. I had a 2090 single sitting SAT, but my only extra cirricular activity was the part time job at an ice cream parlor that I held down for 5 years and my GPA on a 4.0 scale was only a 3.2 - 3.4 (on the numeric scale, I had an 89.465 though. I was just far too comfortable with high Bs in high school). I’m not a URM an had no discernible hooks in high school besides the fact that my dad went here when he was getting his MBA. I’m an oos student. I really turned it around during college and did a great job my freshman year, so they saw that change and gave me a chance.</p>

<p>yo lulu LOL stop tripping girly … dont listen to dat 1 bogus dude on da spring 2014 thread u dig? dey said on dere website dey accept sophopmores and juniors so we good, we good</p>
