<p>I fully plan on transferring to University of Michigan Ann Arbor after a semester of hard work next year. Eastern Michigan University and University of Michigan Dearborn have both accepted me with scholarships. Does attending one give me an advantage to transfer, or does it not matter which school I go to for the first semester as long as I work hard?</p>
<p>Check whether that’s even possible. Many universities don’t accept spring semester freshman transfers. In addition, if you got any scholarship, you’ll lose them and will have to pay full costs at UMichigan Ann Arbor so make sure you understand the financial logistics (universities don’t promise to meet need for transfers).
As far as transferring goes, I don’t think any one will help you more, but I’d choose as if you couldn’t transfer and had to spend 4 years there. (If you don’t, no harm done, but if your plan fails at least don’t be stuck at a place you wouldn’t want to be at).</p>
