Hey guys, I’m in a bit of a predicament here as I can’t decide which college I should go to for computer science. My dream college was University of Michigan but to be honest, I don’t think I’m going to get in, so I’ve decided that I’ll try to transfer after 1 year at a different college. The two colleges I’ve been accepted to so far are University of Wisconsin and Michigan State and I’m waiting on a couple of schools. Between these two colleges, which one would give me the better chance of getting a transfer to UMich? Since I am in-state for MSU, I would have to pay waaaay less than I would if I went to Wisconsin, but if my transfer application doesn’t get accepted, I would be in a worse off situation as Wisconsin is a better school for engineering.
If you really really really want UMich, go to UM-Flint and do well enough to go in through their guaranteed transfer program: https://www.umflint.edu/engineering/transfer-program
Otherwise, pick UW-Madison or MSU and don’t think of transferring.
