<p>Hey guys, I'm currently a freshman at MSU Lyman Briggs and I've been questioning whether I should transfer to Michigan LSA or not. I have 40 credits in total, 28 from AP's, and 12 from this first semester.</p>

<p>First semester classes (all 4 credits each): Physics I (3.5), Intro to HPS (writing course for Lyman Briggs students; 4.0), and Intro to Psych (2.5).
Cum GPA: 3.333
College EC's: CIUS (indian organization), Spartan Zaariya (competitive Bollywood dance team), and CHYK (Hinduism study organization)
Major/Track: Physics/Pre-Medicine</p>

<p>High School GPA: 3.58 weighted
Plenty of EC's but took leadership positions mainly senior year and tennis for 3 years</p>

<p>Considering psychology really screwed up my GPA for the first semester, and an okay high school career, I'm just really nervous about whether or not I'll get in as a transfer to Michigan. Please reply with any unbiased comments, concerns, or tips!</p>

<p>Why do you think that Michigan will be better for you, especially if it seems like you might not be sure about your major?</p>

<p>From the beginning, Michigan was where I really wanted to go, but I was rejected last year. I feel that LSA has a better reputation in comparison to MSU, and that getting a degree from Michigan would be worth more in the long run. And I am sure about my major, physics and pre-med, I’m just not sure as to whether Michigan is a better way to go or are there benefits of staying at MSU. </p>
