Talk to your counselor for past student transfer success rate. In state cc student with good gpa should have no problem. Just make sure you took the pre-req course for intended college.

You should get in easily. The fact that UMich requires at least a 3.0, and you have a 3.9, should open your doors a lot more. If you don’t mind me asking (since I also live in Michigan), what CC are you attending?

Thank you @billcsho !

@BMT83099 I attend Oakland Community College. The 30 credits scares me a little bit. I know they prefer juniors. Thank you though!

@mjr2013 Eh, I think you’ll be fine. Remember, they don’t accepted transfers if said transfer has 60+ credits. You only have 30, so you should be fine. And, your GPA is in really good shape. Wishing you the best of luck!
