<p>I'm planning on applying to transfer to U of M to LS and A for the winter semester from Oakland University. I have a 3.78 GPA and a 27 on my ACTs, and I want to know what my chances are. Also, I would appreciate any advice you would have for increasing my chances.</p>
<p>I think you have a really good chance.</p>
<p>how many units u got?</p>
<p>I have 28 credits</p>
<p>i would say your chances are very slim...due to the fact that Michigans retention rate is around 96% and there is only a 4% space out of 6,000 entering freshman, which would be 240 spaces available. For the fall, Michigan received 3,000 applications for the transfer class, so for the winter it is most likely michigan will receive half or less, so about a 1,000; that means u have a 24% chance, not to mention that michigan gives priority to those with 60 units since they have nowhere else to go. I would suggest u apply in the fall as they have more spaces available or call admissions for more info.</p>
<p>Michigan doesn't get 3000 transfer apps for fall. Getting as many as 2500 would be a high year.</p>
<p>Im going by collegeboard which says: Total number of transfer students who applied: 2,898
Total number of transfer students who were admitted: 1,298
and michigan's site which says, "With over 3000 transfer applications, admission is competitive. " <a href="http://www.admissions.umich.edu/prospective/transfers/index.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.admissions.umich.edu/prospective/transfers/index.html</a></p>
<p>Couldn't that mean 3000 applications for Fall and Winter together?</p>
<p>i suppose, but neither site is specific; like i said, i would suggest calling admissions rather than depending on boards lol...although with 28 units, u still need to get more to be more competitive</p>
<p>Transferring to Michigan is not extremely difficult, although it remains competitive. The OP's chances are quite good. </p>
<p>From their admissions website (<a href="http://www.admissions.umich.edu/prospective/transfers/index.html):%5B/url%5D">http://www.admissions.umich.edu/prospective/transfers/index.html):</a> "More than 1200 transfer students enter the University of Michigan each year. With over 3000 transfer applications, admission is competitive."</p>
<p>Roughly 1200 <em>enter</em> the university. Obviously many more than that are accepted from this pool of 3000 applicants.</p>
<p>How hard is it to transfer into Ross sophomore year from another school?</p>
<p>UMrunner, acceptances & applications are always smaller for the winter..</p>
<p>With 28 units, his chances are not so great. He needs a minimum of 30 so his high school gpa wont get weighted as much, which he did not post, so i assume its not awesome. In addition, applicants with 60 units are taken more into account than those with 28. By winter trimester/quarter, many of the applicants are those with 60 units who were not able to complete 60 by the fall quarter.</p>
<p>I apologize, but I misunderstood your question and I will have 44 units after this Fall's semester at Oakland University. I don't know if that makes much of a difference. Also, my high school GPA was 3.6.</p>
<p>A2Wolves, transfering into Ross from another university is very difficult. There are lots of applications and only limited availlable spots. It is worth a try of course, but the chances aren't good.</p>
<p>What are we talking about when you say "very difficult?" Like less than 15% difficult?</p>
<p>I really am not sure. I know roughly 20 non-UofM transfer students are admitted into Ross each year. How many apply is another story altogether.</p>
<p>Okay, well, I estimate that Ross's applicant pool is at least equal (likely greater than) to McCombs' applicant pool in external transfers, and they get 700-1000 per year. I guess I can forget about UMich when they tell me in a couple weeks that there isn't space for me.</p>
<p>Well a2wolves, just to let u know, undergrad doesnt matter, all firms look @ graduate schools, so your dreams are not totally shattered. Theres always graduate studies.</p>
<p>Is it much easier to get in through LS&A? I know 97% of the applicants are from LS&A. How competitive is it through LS&A? Above 50%?</p>
<p>Could I supposedly transfer into LS&A for Winter or Spring trimester, and then apply to Ross once i'm at UM for better chances? Although if I don't get into Ross, then i'll have to transfer out again!</p>
<p>I don't think Ross gets as many transfer applicants from other universities at UTA, but it still gets a few I am sure. Transfering into LSA and then into Ross is easier. But you must be very confident that you will get into Ross because transfering in and out of Michigan would make your college experience less than memorable. Is it really wort diminishing your entire college experience?</p>
