Transfer from Purdue to UMich?

Colleges & Universities A-Z University of Michigan

<p>So right now I'm a Landscape Architecture sophomore here at Purdue. I started my freshmen year at a community college. Recently I have been thinking about switching to Architecture but Purdue doesn't offer any Arch degree. Therefore, the only thing that I can do is to transfer out. The Taubman College does offer a 2-year(junior+senior) BS Arch program and I think I've pretty much fulfilled most of the pre-requisite courses. I've also got about 3 months to wrap my portfolio up.</p>

<p>Freshmen Year GPA@Community College: 3.9
First Semester GPA@Purdue: 3.8~4.0</p>

<p>Should I apply? or should I stay? Do I get a high chance of getting admitted? Please Chance me.</p>

<p>You’ll need a portfolio.</p>

<p>What Michigan offers is a 4+2 program. You do realize that after your BS Arch, you’ll need to do a MArch to get a professional degree.</p>

<p>Yes I’m working on my portfolio:)</p>

<p>I’ll probably get my master degree either at UMich(I’m interested in the 3-Year Dual Programs!)or in Europe/Asia as I have two nationalities(Chinese and Portuguese). The only concern I have is that I have no idea how hard it is to transfer into the 2-year UG Arch program. I know many of the students there are just cross-campus transfers, even though they do claim that "students who have completed freshman/sophomore studies at other universities or community colleges are evaluated on the same basis as those who have completed their studies at the University of Michigan.
