<p>Hey guys. Right now I'm a sophomore at Ohio State University (I know, I know, irony right?) studying political science. I'm looking to transfer to UMich either for fall or winter of 2011 (my junior year). I was interested in UMich in high school, but didn't finish my app because I didn't think I had a shot (stupid, I know). Anyway, I realized it's time to pursue what I really wanna do. However, I wanted to get an idea of how realistic my goals are. Here's some info:</p>
<p>High School stats:
GPA - 3.4
ACT - 28 composite
Yearbook, DECA, volunteering</p>
<p>Now, I know one can't assume they will do well for an entire year, but for the sake of this topic, let's assume at the end of this year I have around a 3.6-3.7 GPA here at OSU. Would I have a realistic shot at transferring? My major is political science by the way, so I would be in the LSA college. </p>
<p>My final question involves their calculation of GPA. Here at OSU, we have "freshman forgiveness", which allows a freshman student to repeat a course he/she earns a D or lower in, and only counts the higher grade into the GPA. My first quarter at school I failed my math course, but made it up spring quarter with a C. Now, the C is the only grade factorted into my GPA. Will UMich calculate both grades when looking at my GPA, effectively lowering it from what OSU considers to be my GPA? Also, would this keep me from being admitted?</p>
<p>Sorry for the novel, I just have a lot of questions. Thanks for reading.</p>
