Transfer from University of Wisconsin Madison and University of Michigan engineering (RLLY URGENT)

Applying to College
1

<p>Hello, I am a soon-to-be freshmen college student. I have applied for electrical engineering to the University of Michigan and have gotten wait-listed. I know I probably won't make it, so I committed to the University of Wisconsin at Madison for the same major. </p>

<p>I have been born and brought up in Michigan for many years and then moved to a foreign location to finish off high school. During this time, I have developed a true love for UMich and I still do. I wanted to know whether I could transfer after to UMich engineering after a year at Wisco. What exactly is the process? How hard is it? What kind of GPA will I need? Is it common for people to transfer to UMich engineering after one year? Is Wisco a good school to transfer from (it's better than transferring from let's say a community college or UMich-Dearborn)?</p>

<p>My stats:</p>

<p>29 ACT (34 in math and 33 in english. 25 in the other sections. I have minor OCD and so I read really slowly so I do bad in science and reading)
9th gpa: 3.97 (taking honors courses)
10th gpa: 4.0
11th gpa: 3.7 (kept falling sick and it was hard to keep up in school) (take IB Diploma)
12th gpa: yet to be determined</p>

<p>Ec's:
Varsity sports
Laser research at a prestigous local university (wrote 45 page research paper)
3 internships
Online electrical engineering courses
Helped start an NGO
Worked for en event organizing company to help earn extra money (due to some personal reasons)</p>

<p>Please help me out. I know this message is long. but I wanted to give as much clarity as possible. I'm Asian if that changes anything, btw. Please message me for more details! </p>

<p>I suggest you start here: <a href=“Transfer Students | University of Michigan Office of Undergraduate Admissions”>http://www.admissions.umich.edu/drupal/transfer-u-m&lt;/a&gt;
And read section D here: <a href=“http://obp.umich.edu/wp-content/uploads/pubdata/cds/cds_2013-2014_umaa.pdf”>http://obp.umich.edu/wp-content/uploads/pubdata/cds/cds_2013-2014_umaa.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Any specific questions will be best answered by the UMich Admissions dept.</p>

<p>Thank you for the links! I would just like if anyone personally went through the process or has any knowledge about anyone who had went through the process. BUMPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP</p>

<p>It is unlikely that you can transfer after a year. They typically want you to have junior status. If you look through some of the U of M transfer threads, 50+ credits is pretty commonly (but not always) required to get in.</p>

<p>Your HS stat’s become much less important when you transfer. They will mostly look at your college GPA and the amount of credits you have.</p>

<p>Oh okay. Yeah, I know that they don’t look at hs as much and that ACT becomes irrelevant. But, I will be getting around 10 IB credits and then I will do 30-32 credits my freshmen year at Wisco. That would be about 42 credits. If I get a 3.8+ gpa, and have good rec letters and good essays, couldn’t I transfer in after one year? </p>
