<p>-Transfer students, currently a sophmore, 70 credits
-3.65 gpa (a C brought me down which I have explained, I had a very good reason for that)
-Coming from a 4 yr school, relatively unknown
-from NYC, Asian (if that matters)
-Very tough courses, many in advanced economics, also Math, Eng, History, FL, Sci, etc, and 1 intro accounting course, and 1 finance course.
-I've submitted my midterm grades, 4.0 gpa, so hopefully you will look at that more.
-1250 SAT
-3.55 HS GPA, very competitive school
-3 AP courses but all 1's
-Very good activites, hospital volunteer for 100+ hrs, student teacher, karate, basketball, and a few more
-very little work experience but I have explained that as well, I was very busy with an ailing grandparent.
-I think 2 of my essays are great (I hope), and the third one is really good too but contains a bit of an error, not very noticable but still makes me nervous.</p>
<p>Thanks for reading this and any input would be most appreciated because I'm counting down the days to June 22.</p>
<p>Tough courses with good grades is a nice start. I hope you didn't mention the three failed AP's in your application. As for EC's, you seem to stay active but from what you said here it doesn't show much focus or passion for anything specific. Leadership experience and business-oriented EC's would have helped also. It's kind of tough applying as a transfer, so I wouldn't get my hopes up, but if admissions likes your essays you never know.</p>
<p>i don't know if u know already, but you'll only be allowed to transfer a maximum of 45 credits. that means you'll be losing 25, which is basically a year.</p>
<p>Yea the APs are bad I know, I forget if I mentioned that. I have other acitivites too, plus the basketball shows leadership I hope, I talk about it a lot on the application. Yea I'd lose the credits which sucks but with Ross I know it's worth it.</p>
<p>they're tougher on transfer students...so you really have to be top of the top. so yeah, it matters what school you're transferring from. i mean, your gpa is about the average for students getting in..but that mostly applies to michigan students, because they know a 3.6 is pretty tough to pull off at michigan. I don't know what school you're transferring from though.</p>
<p>also, your hs gpa and SAT score are below average for incoming freshman at Michigan in general, I'm sure it must be higher for ross. So yeah..you're kind of cutting it close. but good luck!</p>
<p>i talked to a few of the incoming external transfers from last year. as for schools, we had a few from state schools and private schools like vandy and nyu. everybody i asked had gpa's of over 3.8.</p>
<p>Crap. I wish I had applied as a transfer student. I had a 3.93 GPA at PSU, taking classes like Statistics, Financial Accounting, English Honors, Business Law etc. </p>
<p>Since its extremely competitive for UM LSA students, let alone transfers, I didn't bother.</p>
<p>I knew I wouldn't get in as a transfer so I just did LS&A. I'll probably apply next year for internal transfer. Having a 3.95 is nice, hopefully will have similar success at U-M</p>
<p>I'm not sure about the OP's chances though...</p>
