Official University of Michigan Transfer Thread for Fall 2015

what are the pre-requisites for LSA?

@jz9chen Thanks! I’m sure you’ll hear soon with good news. It seems like decisions are rolling out more for transfers now

@TVNerd still waiting on the ENGR 101 transfer evaluations to show up =s

@jz9chen You should call them to ask about the ENGR 101 evaluation. I called the credit eval office and they told me how they processed it immediately.

@TVNerd you mean they processed it right as you guys were talking on the phone?

@jz9chen So what happened was my application wasn’t marked as complete even though all my materials were in. They said that there was a status that said I was missing course eval confirmation (even though I had sent in the info around a week ago - this occurred in Feb). So they transferred me to course eval office where they looked up my file and said that they already evaluated my courses and sent that info back to the main office. The issue was that the main office hadn’t processed the course eval info yet.

So, if you’re wondering about your course eval, you should call the course eval office to confirm that they have already evaluated it (they should have cause I remember they’re pretty fast). It just takes time for the main office to process the course evaluations. Ask if your app is marked as complete yet too.

@TVNerd Transfer credit evaluations are processed after a student is admitted. <---- I was told this, so you must have been admitted already when they were processing your evaluations?

@jz9chen Oh I meant for ENGR 101. They process that first before they even make a decision.

After you are admitted, they then send you your transfer credit equivalencies for all your courses a day later.

@TVNerd I see. An evaluator said she would evaluate my courses shortly two weeks ago. Not quite sure if two weeks is commonly considered “shortly”.

@jz9chen Have you checked the website? It’s not updated very often but it might show up if you search by your university http://apps.engin.umich.edu/equivalencies/courses/recentlyupdated
Mine was asked for a month ago and it showed up that same week.

Guys I am still waiting for the decision. I called to the admission office a few days ago and they said all the batches will be released before the end of April. I have completed my application on 10th March, and it is already over 6 weeks (UM’s website stated that the decision will be made with 4-6 weeks after the application is completed). So do I still have hope?

@jimmybon007 I completed my app before the deadline (Jan 30) and still haven’t heard back so I think you’ll be ok

Thanks. Did you call the admission office? That’s way too long for waiting… I mean it is almost 3 months (From 1/30 to 4/18)

@jimmybon007 @coconutcabana I’m in the same boat, everything submitted 2/17, last I heard from them was 3/4…

@jimmybon007 I’ve called in twice, the first time around 10 days before April 1, when I thought the decision was going to come out and they told me my app was complete. Then I called on April 2 and they told me 3-4 more weeks. It is a long wait… I must be sitting on the fence

I’m in the same position. I call the office probably 2-3 times a week checking on my app. Sometimes a representative will tell me I should hear back soon and other times I get told it could be a month.
I called this past Monday and the guy told me I’d hear back no later than either the end of this week or “by neck week at the LATEST”. Well this week is over and I still got nothing. Hopefully we hear back within the next 7 days.

My app was marked as complete on April 7th meaning my 4 weeks would be up in May so im not sure if the end of April would be for everyone :-/

from another forum, credibility unsure

The admissions office is 6 WEEKS behind on updating their wolverine access. The way it works is that once you get accepted online, then they send you the big envelope with the acceptance letter and other stuff a few days later. So since they are behind on updating the site, he just might get that “Big envelope”/or rejection letter without any notice.

I got accepted today through email at 3:00pm.

Congrats! When was your app marked as complete?
