Kinesiology vs. LSA

<p>Hello all,</p>

<p>I am wondering if anyone has experience with either the school of Kinesiology or LSA and which one they thought might be easier to get into.</p>

<p>The School of Kinesiology is a lot easier to gain admittance to than LSA. However, if you plan to apply to kinesiology, apply early for the school sometimes runs out of space.</p>

<p>Actually j89, it doesn’t matter when you apply to the school of Kinesiology. Kines is generally reserved for athletes. I think that for non-athletes, LSA is no harderto get into than Kines, and probably less random. </p>

<p>Nachal, I recommend you apply to the program you want, not to the program you think will be easier to get into.</p>

<p>I would definitely not say the school of kinesiology is reserved for athletes. A lot of spaces are saved for athletes but not all. Which is why i say early. Also, I have friends that did not and would not have made admission into LSA get into the kinesiology. (B average students). Most do not play varsity sports at michigan and some do not play sports at all. They simply study kinesiology because they enjoy the subject. Studying kinesiology does not automatically mean athlete.</p>

<p>j89, I do not dispute what you say, but I have also seen students who applied early and had 3.8+ GPAs and 1300+ SAT/28+ ACT scores and were rejected by Kines. Like I said, Kines is harder to predict than LSA.</p>

<p>Apply to the school where you want to study. If you want to study Sport Management or Movement Science, apply to Kines. If you want to study Sociology or Chemistry, apply to LSA.</p>

<p>I was torn between the two when i applied. I decided to go with kinesiology. We’ll see if it was the right choice later down the road, but I’m really glad I picked kines. I can’t wait to start in the fall.</p>
