Should I apply LSA or Engineering at UMich c/o 2025

So each can have their own career fairs and yes there is overlap. Many engineering student’s can go to each others career fairs. Each section also has help in placement. Only engineering can use the engineering resource center for placement, maybe is what is meant. LSA also has a resource center for job creation and help.

So CoE has its own career resource center, but any LSA student who declares CS as his/her major can use it! Heck, even when as soon as an LSA student declares CS as his/her major, the student gets added to all the CoE emailing lists.

As for the career fair, they put up a banner every year announcing the career fair and it always says “All College of Engineering and LSA CS/DS students welcome”. (DS = data science)

@momofsenior1 I am this makes it a little more clear

We are saying the same thing and I am very familiar with the process. I just don’t mean lsa /cs to me that just CS. Of course they can go to CS job fairs. There is lots of overlap between fields and job fairs. It’s where your talent lies. I think the links I posted are self explanatory.

We are in-state and our high school that has about 325 students in a graduating class gets about 5-7 admissions per year. Twenty sounds very high to me out of 200 unless I’m missing something. Class of 2018 had 5. Class of 2019 had 2 admissions. Class of 2020 had 9. It does depend on the stats of each class. 2020 was a particularly high scoring class.

My counselor told me 26/126 who applied were accepted. I’m in state about 15 minutes outside of Ann Arbor. One of the top public high schools in MI.

Our son is in senior year and is looking to apply to CS-LSA, can you please clarify on what 2 summer classes that you son had to take to make the cross campus transfer work?

Thank you in advance.

Each person will be different and he chose to take Calc 3 and Physics 2 at a community College and it saved a ton of money but… Wasn’t easy. Kids from Georgia Tech, Michigan, Berkeley etc were in the same classes… Lol…

You need to transfer by end of Sophmore year but he didn’t want to wait. It worked out well for him.

Thank you @Knowsstuff

Would you be able to share the first year classes that your son took (before applying and while applying) for the transfer?

Did he take his community college classes before starting the freshman year during the summer of his post senior year?

He took his 2 community College between freshman and sophomore year in the summer. He took variations of these classes.

He was thinking about Actuarial Science for a minute… Prior to Transferring.

He took 18 credits each semester his freshman year. Took chemistry and lab and physics and lab like back to back together… Not sure why… Plus he worked and started an active student org on campus. All I can say is… TIME MANAGEMENT… Lol…
