<p>Hi, I'm currently a freshman in college and although I applied to ten schools to ensure I wound up somewhere I really liked, it seems as if I have failed. I am most likely going to transfer either at semester or next fall. Currently I attend a school ranked in thh high 80s on USNews, although I believe it should be higher. (27 average ACT, tons of national merit people here) The school I am looking at the most right now is Michigan. I have a few questions. </p>
<p>Is it easier or harder to transfer to Michigan than original admissions?</p>
<p>If I have a semester at the school I'm at now, and a semester at a community college, would that be worse than having two semesters here? If I stay here, there is no way I will be able to visit schools if I am planning on going back to school next fall. i would just have to go somewhere and pray that I like it. (like U of M, though i have already visited)</p>
<p>Does being an in-stater still help?</p>
<p>Is there a specific college within the university that is easiest to get into?</p>
<p>Any other top schools that are easier to transfer to than original admissions?</p>
<p>Finally, what are my chances? Last year I was rejected, after being deferred and waitlisted, as I watched several classmates that I believe I was just as competent as if not more get in. (I know you're not supposed to do that.)</p>
<p>Anyways, here are my stats.</p>
<p>High School Record-----Decent...I thought I went to a good high school, I know everyone says that, but I honestly think I did. I was not top 10%,(about 16th percentile.) Mostly As and Bs, some Cs. I was very involved. High School sucks. Screw *****y Chemistry teachers.</p>
<p>Test Scores---- ACT 30 SAT 2000 </p>
<p>College: Right now I am taking 16 hour, including an intermediate language and a sophomore class. For this semester I am thinking I should get about a 3.6. That number could be as low as 3.4 or as high as 3.8 if I am going to be very realistic. I am trying to get involved, I'm going to do Big Brothers Big Sisters and might be joining a frat next semester.</p>
<p>This brings up another question. Right now I am semi-struggling in a class. (79 first test, but they get harder.) I CANNOT get a C if I want to transfer to U of M. Should I withdraw? Would that be frowned upon? If I do, I would have only about 13 hours and a W on my transcript, I know that is less than they would like, but I would most likely have a GPA 3.8-4.0. If I stick it out and get a C, or god FORBID worse, I would probably have a GPA of 3.4, or maybe even 3.2 if I got two other Bs (though I don't think that will happen.) What do you think about this?</p>
<p>Anyways, I probably forgot some stuff, If anyone wants any additional information I will be glad to post it.</p>
