Umich Transfer Chances

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Michigan
1

I’m looking into transferring to the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor for the winter of 2017. I dual enrolled at a community college during my high school career and currently attend Wayne State University. I just finished Calculus II during the spring semester at Henry Ford College as a guest student and received a 4.0 in it. I’ll be back at Wayne State in the fall full time, I just went to Henry Ford for the one class to save some money. I have earned 61 credits, 53 of which will transfer to the University of Michigan. My intended major is microbiology.

Wayne State University GPA: 3.74 Credits: 31

Wayne County Community College GPA: 4.00 Credits: 25

Henry Ford College GPA: 4.00 Credits: 5


High School
GPA W/UW: 4.03/3.99
Rank: 5/250
ACT: 26
Activities: Editor and Chief of the yearbook, Secretary of Science Club, Key Club Member, Peer Mentor, NHS Member (20+ hours of community service/yr, 3.5 minimum GPA requirement), PBIS Member, Science Olympiad Member (I medaled at a regional event one year)
Following high school I interned at BASF, the world's largest chemical company. I can get excellent letters of rec from my supervisors and will definitely mention this experience in my essays.

Since May I’ve started working part time at the Henry Ford Museum. I’ve also just started volunteering at a local food bank once a week because I have a lot of extra time. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I don’t think you have anything to worry about!

UMich seems to be more lenient about transfers, but even if they weren’t you’re in good standings. I think you’ve got a great chance.

You should have no problem! Umich really just wants to see that you can excel and clearly you’re doing well at Wayne.

Get your application in and start buying some maize & blue t-shirts. You are getting close to the transfer limit.
