<p>Hi, I am currently enrolled as freshmen in college, and I am really willing to transfer to UMich next year summer semester. I
applyed for highschool, but was rejected and I just want to apply Umich untill I get in.
As a freshmen, what do I have to do to get in to the UMich?
My GPA during highschool was around 3.7 and SAT was 1910. I know this is below average for UMich and I am not even from the in-state.
So does this means that I have to retake the SAT orthe ACT?
And if I apply for LSA, can I transfer to engineering school like at the same year in Umich?
I will really appreciate if you got Umich as a transfer student, and share some of your specs.
Thank you.</p>
<p>IS and OOS doesn’t really matter now as a transfer, it’s a level playing field as far as admissions. Don’t retake the SAT or ACT, it doesn’t really matter so much anymore because transfer admissions is much more straightforward than freshman admissions, basically credits and GPA are the only thing that matters. ECs, especially leadership, and essays will be considered but will take secondary importance to GPA. I’m just wondering, why would you apply to LSA if you want to get into CoE, you may as well apply straight to CoE, it doesn’t really make a difference. One more thing about transfer admissions is that preference is given to junior transfers. You would be classified as a sophomore transfer and essentially all sophomore transfers that get admitted were either borderline as a freshman or would have gotten in anyways. Generally, if you were not really close to getting in as a freshman you will have to wait until at least winter term of your sophomore year. </p>
<p>I haven’t been admitted yet but I am attempting to transfer from a top 60 University to LSA for Winter 2012. I am currently a sophomore with a 3.71 GPA, 31 completed credits and 46 pending. I had a 3.6 high school GPA and a 33 ACT. The admissions counselor I spoke to told me that I have a chance this semester depending on how strong the applicant pool is. Hope all this helps.</p>
<p>Ditto to what anthony said. Preference is given to junior standing and the application process is clear-cut. Realize while they look predominantly at your GPA, course rigor and credit hours, the admissions is dynamic as the applicant pool varies each cycle. U-M is be becoming increasingly harder to get into and that creates much more competition. I’ve been looking to go to UMich for years now and I applied this year for next Fall to CoE. My suggestion is to apply very early, and write quality essays to explain why UMich is a better fit for you. Good luck.</p>

<p>Actually, surprisingly, sophomore and junior transfers are admitted at about the same rate. However, since this includes both winter and fall transfers, I wonder if winter transfers after 3 semesters are counted as sophomore transfers in this. If so, then the numbers could be skewed since the majority of successful winter transfers are sophomores and adding a few hundred to their numbers makes it seem easier. UNC-CH’s numbers are about the same as UM’s and in their numbers, they specified the difference between winter and fall transfers. And the numbers there for fall transfers is 33% sophomore and 50% juniors.</p>
