<p>If one gets a Liberal Arts BA from U MIch LSA ( assume its not a Ross undergrad degree), and then applies to get into UMich Law School, or the UMich MBA program, how tough is it to get in? Does a Umich undergrad degree help in terms of preference? If you pay OOS tuition 4 years as an undergrad, then do you get the lower resident tuition rate for business or law school?</p>
<p>answering the last part of my own question: you would still be considered a nonresident if all you did was attend UM for 4 years as an OOS student. Looks like you have to be 24 and have worked and lived in-state subsequent to graduation. Still curious if it helps or hurts having attended UM as an undergrad when you apply there for a professional degree.</p>

<p>It’s still tough to get in, but the degree will definitely help in terms of preference, just like many other elite universities in the country =).</p>
<p>The highest number of students that get into UM law - are from UM… their acceptance rate fro UM students is soo low bc so many UG’s apply. It’ll be hard, but it’s very possible. I am thinking about doing that but my GPa took a big hit this year - 3.8 frosh and 1st half of soph year and now a 3.3 (family issues and the recession) - but if i can keep it back up maybe UM, ND, and the slight glimmer of hope towards HYS…</p>
<p>I recall seeing somethings about UM Law automatically admitting UM grads with above a certain GPA (I think it was 3.7 or 3.8) without the necessity of even taking the LSAT. If you like Ann Arbor, it sounds like a great option. I believe you can find info on the law school’s web page.</p>
<p>^^ It’s called Wolverine Scholars. If you have a 3.8 or above, you can apply for it.</p>
<p>how tough is it to get 3.80 or above in LSA? Can you get A+ in any undergrad courses to help your overall GPA, or is an A (4.0) the highest grade you can get in any particular course? Also anyone on how tough to get into the UMich MBA from undergrad? Thnx.</p>
<p>is it hard??? eh it depends. I have a number of friends - i as well besides for this semester - where the cum is 3.8+ but it is not an automatic admissions to the law school. I want to say that maybe 10 - 15% of the people in LSA will graduate at 3.8+. But the wolverine scholars program just allows you to apply to the law school w/o taking the lsat. it doesn’t guarantee admissions. Essays, recs, course load, etc all matter.</p>
<p>From what I read somewhere there are only 800 undergrads on the whole campus who will graduate with a 3.8 or above. That’s out of about 26,000 students. It ain’t easy get that high a gpa that’s for sure!</p>
<p>That doesn’t sound right. Are you sure it wasn’t 800 of the 6000 seniors graduating have a 3.8+?</p>
<p>jnpn is correct. it’s about 800 out of the 5k - 6k graduating each year. comes down to about 15% of the graduating class. It’s hard… but not that hard depending on your classes. I am polisci and econ double major. but i also used to have a bio and chem minor but dropped them - was going to take 5 years to graduate - so if you put in the effort it really is not that hard. just be prepared to work hard and not go out as much as your friends frosh year</p>
<p>^^^^^Yes that is correct. Sorry about my misinformation.</p>
