<p>Does Michigan allow for entering freshman who have enough credits through AP and other college courses to enter with a sophomore status or do they cap off the number of credits a freshman can enter with.</p>
<p>this is in regards to LSA </p>
<p>I'm also basing this on that aprox. 15 credits a semester is required to graduate so if I potentially got 30 hours of credit from AP and other courses would I be considered a sophomore?</p>
<p>I don’t believe they cap the number of AP credit that you can qualify for. 25 credits is required for sophomore standing.</p>
<p>I believe you are capped at 60 credits. This would be a few credits into junior standing.</p>
<p>Yes you can come in with enough credits to be a sophomore. I did. But don’t go around saying you are a sophomore when everyone knows it’s your first year… its ****ing annoying</p>
<p>@MLDWoody, thanks for the advice haha</p>
<p>are there any other advantages to sophomore status besides placement in choosing classes? </p>
<p>I still plan on taking 4 years to graduate I’m just interested in this opening up more flexibility in studying abroad.</p>
<p>as soon as you get to 60 credits, your tuition goes up. I could transfer a LOT of credits too, but I’m not doing so because of the tuition hike (not until later anyway).</p>
<p>I get to register for classes before everyone I know. And I am hoping I get good seats next year at the Big House</p>
<p>55 credits puts you in upper division tuition</p>
<p>Zinthafan, they will charge you upper-division tuition retroactively (not even joking) if your transferred credits would have bumped you up. Might as well transfer all of them now to get the perks…</p>
<p>Pro28, WTH???
Care to elaborate please?</p>
<p>Isn’t this also $1k more/semester as well? That’d up my Michigan tuition by 8k$ over the next 4 years!</p>
<p>are those of you who started with sophomore status planning to graduate early or spend that extra year studying abroad?</p>
<p>If you don’t transfer in your transfer credits right away, they will charge you the difference between what you paid and what you were supposed to pay if those credits were enough to bump you up to upper division.</p>
<p>Let’s say you go into Michigan with like 30 AP credits and 25 transfer credits, but you decide to not transfer the transfer credits to avoid paying upper-division tuition. You get to pay lower division tuition for 2 semesters, but now when you transfer the 25 credits you had before you entered college, they’ll charge you the remainder of upper-division tuition that you owe.</p>
<p>And yeah, tuition is 1-2k more per semester as upper-division, depending on what college you are in.</p>
