<p>Everything else is good on my transcripts..chances?</p>
<p>You probably won't get in right away. You'll probably be wait listed and might get in after that.</p>
<p>also im oos, and what is the reasoning? i applied last fall and got into schools that i thought were more competitive like american university (in fact im sure they are). im not trying to argue im just wondering why</p>
<p>The fact that you are out of state reinforces that. I'm not trying to argue either, but I'd consider American and IT on the same level for competitiveness. The university as a whole is slightly less competitive, (U of M 57% admit vs American 53% admit). Your GPA is significantly below the average, but your SAT is about average. Of my hs graduating class, I was the only one of about 12 instate students who applied to the U who wasn't wait listed. Also, if you are a transfer student, it'll be even harder to get in. It's even hard to transfer from within the U into IT. I don't mean to discourage you, because it's a great school, but I'm also trying to be realistic.</p>
<p>what other schools should i look at? that arent dingus schools like RIT like someone else suggested</p>
<p>have you thought about taking the ACT? The middle 50% is a 29.6 I believe. U of M Chem Engineering is ranked 3rd in the nation.</p>
<p>honestly i dont have the time or resources to do any more testing - but im not trying to get into their chem engineering program...? thank you for the suggestion though</p>
<p>It doesn't matter what major you are tying to apply to beyond the college that the major is in. People who are going to major in in ChemE are held to the same admission standards as someone who is going to major in MechE or CompE. It's at the end of your second year that the standards change and some programs become harder to get into.</p>
<p>I have to agree with the others that have posted here. It may be tough for you to get accepted into IT. Unless you're within the top 10 percent of your class, it's going to be difficult. If you're at a really competitive high school, or if you have extraordinary extra curriculars, then your chances become a little better. IT is one of the hardest colleges on campus to get into - their admission criteria is much more competitive than almost any other program at the U of M. The only colleges harder to get into are the Carlson School of Management and the College of Biological Sciences.</p>
<p>i looked at the stats on the website and i fit in the range except for my gpa..which im pretty sure my ec's make up for..idk maybe im wrong o well im applying anyway :D</p>
<p>I'm not saying you shouldn't apply. The U of M looks for well rounded students, so if you have something to offer to make up for your GPA you may get in.</p>
<p>If you decide for sure that's where you want to go to college, it's not the end of the road if you don't get in. You can take classes elsewhere and try to transfer in, that's just a lot more difficult than getting accepted as a freshman. Not impossible though, like some would have you believe. The hard part about transferring is that college coursework is MUCH more difficult than high school classes, and you're going to need a college gpa of 3.75 or better (with a few years of courses under your belt) to get accepted as a transfer.</p>
<p>Good luck to you. There's nothing like getting accepted to a great college.</p>
<p>thanks - and great advice</p>
