<p>I received emails from Michigan about these two things encouraging me to apply to them. Does anyone know more about these or is in one/both of them? Thanks.</p>

<p>M-STEM is for students they don’t think will do well so they teach you a bunch of precalc and stuff the summer before school starts. If you think you are adequately prepared for college then you shouldn’t do it.</p>

<p>Lolwut? I’m in multivariable Calc and have taken 5+ years of lab science classes. Got A’s in all of them.</p>

<p>Then it sound like you should consider m-stem</p>

<p>…doesn’t look remedial to me; I think that’s called the Bridge program.</p>

<p>Ahem… "The M-STEM Academy spans the first two years and includes a pre-freshman summer transition program, "</p>

<p>The university would never say something like “This is for the dumb kids,” and if that doesn’t scream remedial then I don’t know what to say. </p>

<p>Test101, do you go to a poor high school by chance? Or are you a first generation college student or something of a similar nature? If so that might be why the selected you.</p>

<p>No. M-STEM is not a remedial program. The transition program is to get you used to working in the college environment because as soon as your freshman year starts, your workload will be much heavier than non-M-STEM students.
Believe me, it’s not a remedial program to catch you up on things. Everybody in my school who got in UMich EA for engineering got an invite for M-STEM. Stuyvesant High School. Best in NYC. I really don’t think we need a remedial program.</p>

<p>Vlad, no. I’m from a very good public highschool. Both of my parents have doctorate degrees. But I’m “technically” a URM (25% Hispanic).</p>

<p>I don’t know… Sign up for it. Hopefully I’m wrong and you find it of use, but I don’t think I am and I don’t think you will.</p>

<p>If you do it come back and tell us about it.</p>
