<p>What is the best recommended minimum GPA needed to transfer to Michigan as a transfer student in Fall 2006 semester.</p>
<p>anybody help please</p>
<p>It's hard to say. I don't have an expert opinion, but from what I've read and what I've seen as far as other applicants getting in to UMich, you'll need to have above a 3.5 to be competitive. If you have better than a 3.7, you'll have a really good chance of being admitted. GPA is the most important thing for transfer students but its not the only factor they weigh.</p>
<p>I'm finishing up my sophomore year at a small liberal arts college, and will be transferring to umich next fall. I only have a 3.29 cumulative GPA here, and I was admitted much to my surprise. I really didn't think I had a chance, mainly because I sent my application right at the deadline. I feel my essays were very strong and that they probably got me in. Also, although it says a recommendation from a prof is optional, I would highly recommend sending one in. So, if you have over a 3.0, I'd give it a shot! Good luck.</p>
<p>i suddenly feel stupid...i though UMICH was more competitive...</p>
<p>Dragon: I'll quote you: "Most of posted students stats in for UMICH admission process, state how smart u guys are. But, the main key to admission to UMICH is not gpa, nor is it SAT, or sports activities. The key to admission is research, or statement that proves that you have imagination and can apply it to produce some results beneficial to future. Ok...but that doesnt mean you shouldnt have a great gpa, a high SAT, and do sports activities. All I mean is that I believe that you can be accepted to UMICH just as I was, if you maintain an above average gpa, above average SAT score, do some sports activities, and do research, and also participate in clubs such as SCIENCE Club or even Chess club. Also taking variety of AP classes and doing well in them will be another point for you. And...essays are really important, so if they say in application that this essay is optional, all they really mean is that, if you dont write anything for this so called "optional" essay, then your a goner. Its important to express soul in these essays. As cold hearted as I am, I realised that the admission staff must be overhelmed by these freshmen essays they have to read, so its important to put soul into an essay in order for you to be heard. Ok...I dont want to sound to nostalgic here...ok...here goes another tip...Be as friendly as you possibly can with your schools guidance councellor...Yawn, Im falling asleep while writing this stuff...One more tip then to kip you awake...some of the best competitions for research are "INTEL" and "Westinghouse", but thats only if u are into science, and if urnt not then screw u...ouch that was mean...or was it?"</p>
<p>Thank you for proving my point. There's much more to the admissions process than the GPA. I showed the school that I had a strong desire to succeed in my field of interest, and I was also able to apply my academic interests towards an important national issue I have strong feelings about. Like you said, "The key to admission is research, or statement that proves that you have imagination and can apply it to produce some results beneficial to future."</p>
<p>Am I to tear myself apart? You prove your point there...</p>
