<p>hey all,
I am applying as transfer student (winter 2011) with finishing requirements for Engineering. Community college Overall GPA is 3.8. In-State student, Applying in Mechanical Engineering. Cal 1(AP Calc), {Calc 2, Calc 3, diff.qu, phys 1} = 4.0 , phys 2 = 3.8, chem 3.8, eng 1 = 3.3, eng 2 = 4.0, programing 1 (2 credit) = 3.8, and programing 2 = taking....</p>

<p>1) How many credits taken/transfer ?
2) Which level did you transfer to like 2 year or 3 year in Engineering ?
3) What is your gpa when you applied ?
4) Which engineering ?
5) Did you got any scholarships, fiance aid, etc ?
if yes, they by consider overall gpa or only engineering class gpa ?
6) how's doing right now ?
7) While they looking overall gpa or requirements gpa ? (because i had soc 1 = 3.2 that's why overall gpa down)
8) Community college / University transfer ?
9) In-State / OOS / International ?
10) What is acceptance rate for engineering ? (fall / winter)
11) Any other comment/advise ?</p>

<p>Thank you for your time......
Good luck !!</p>

<p>I replied in your other thread in the engineering forum, I’ll give a little more detail here.</p>

<p>1.) I had something like 150 credits when I applied (engineering was my third, and final, major). I think 87 of those transferred in.</p>

<p>2) I basically came in as a second semester sophomore. I had more credits, obviously, but there were some engineering pre-reqs I had to take that weren’t available at my previous university. I’ll graduate 2.5 years after starting at UMich.</p>

<p>3) My GPA was only a 3.35 or so, but my engineering GPA was something like a 3.65. Again, engineering was my third major, so I had a good upward trend for my GPA.</p>

<p>4) I’m in the Civil & Environmental Engineering department.</p>

<p>5) No scholarships, but did get the regular financial aid (federal loans). This is one downside to being a transfer student, there are few scholarships out there for incoming students.</p>

<p>6) It’s going really well. I really like UofM. I do feel restricted by some of the class requirements, but it’s nothing that I can’t work around.</p>

<p>7) Prerequisite requirements are more important (math/physics/chem/etc), a single 3.2 shouldn’t hurt you.</p>

<p>8) I came over from a university.</p>

<p>9) In-state</p>

<p>10) I really have no idea, and I don’t know if that’s something they really publish data on. I know that when I came in for winter, there were only about 60 students coming in. More people apply for fall transfer instead of winter, I doubt this affects the acceptance rate.</p>

<p>11) Being that the deadline is three days away, I don’t know if there’s much more advice I can give, unless you haven’t submitted your app. PM me if you haven’t, and I’d be glad to look over your app.</p>

<p>12) I’m interested in going to graduate school, so I’ve done research instead of internships. Right now I am on the executive board of an engineering organization, in addition to being a research assistant. There are plenty of clubs to get involved in here, so you shouldn’t have problems finding one you’re interested in. There will be a career fair a couple weeks into the winter semester, it may be hard to get an internship, it being your first semester at U-M, but it’s worth a shot.</p>

<p>13) You’ll have to pay a small fee to reserve your spot ($200-300 I think), then you’ll have orientation before the winter semester starts, and you’ll sign up for classes. Mine was mid-December. There will most likely be some 200-level classes you’ll need to take that shouldn’t be too hard to get into. Depending on what other work you’ve done, you could get into some upper-level classes.</p>

<p>14) For summer I was a research assistant. There are plenty of people that do internships though. I really like A2 in the summer, it’s a bit quieter, but definitely not dead.</p>

<p>15) There’s really not much more advice I can give. If you get in, then there wil be more advice I can give. Good luck! Wayne State has a good program too, not to mention you can live in a nice area of Detroit for a lot less than Ann Arbor.</p>

<p>did you took any placement test ?
thank you so much…thank you for answering</p>

<p>thank you for your time</p>

<p>Placement test for what? </p>

<p>I believe if you’re in LS&A, you have to take a math placement, but that isn’t required for CoE.</p>

<p>I took a placement test for Spanish, but that wasn’t related to my transfer admissions.</p>
