<p>I agree with the people before who said it depends on your major. No offense to anyone else out there lol...but an engineering/premed getting a 3.5+ is considerably harder than lets say an undecided...or perhaps history major or something. Not saying that we all don't work hard. But that's why we have 4 1/2 month summer break, hehe :)</p>
<p>My S had a 3.9 in Engineering with 200 level calc, chem and eng 100 1st semester. He trains for sports 4 hours a day and also missed 2 weeks of school due to athletic competitions. He's on track for the same this semester and will again miss another couple of weeks for athletics.</p>
<p>He was organized, used his laptop while on his athletic adventures to keep up and submint assignments, went to office hours and additional "help sessions" when needed. Kept in touch with his profs and TAs. Yes he worked hard, but he also had time to pursue his sports.</p>
<p>So yes, good grades are definitely doable and you can have time left for other things if you have the commitment to good time management.</p>

UMich Calculus can't kick my ass if I take it at the WCCC!

EXACTLY!!! Take every class you can at WCC!</p>
<p>My brother had something like a 2.5 in high school. He's got a 4.0 at WCC. If you show any sort of dedication there you'll get an A. And the credits transfer right on over to UM.</p>
<p>I'd even argue that education and learning wise, it's better at WCC for the first 2 years than at UM. You avoid the large class sizes, can ask all the questions you want in lecture, and they have agreements with MSU and UM where you can transfer to each school if you get a certain GPA and take certain classes.</p>
<p>Hmm...I might just go to a community college. Seriously. Since I've already been accepted to both schools, and since Community College would probably be very easy(except for group projects where I'm likely to get stuck with an idiot) transfering would be a breeze. I sort of don't want to go to a CC though. I don't like getting stuck with idiots.</p>
<p>Does anyone here know about being a biology major at Michigan, and how difficult it is to get grades that are good enough for Medical schools? I'm interested in going to Michigan and I love the school, but I just wanted to get an idea of how difficult grades are to get, especially for a bio major.</p>
<p>My friend's premed, and he's taking a lot of biology classes. He's pretty smart, and dedicated when studying, and does about 2-3 hours a day. I think he held a 3.8~4.0 last semester</p>
