<p>Applying to University of Michigan LS&A</p>

<p>How tough is U-mich on out of state? 3.4 cut it or no?</p>

<p>The competitive GPA that is listed is from 3.3 - 3.6 GPA. That's the average GPA of those that were given the opportunity to go. I'm not sure exactly on OOS transfers, but it should be higher, or on the higher end.</p>

<p>Good essays</p>

<p>I will be accepted to Carolina for Fall 2007. It is my fourth choice school, however.<br>
Stats: CC graduate w/ both AA & AS degrees and in-state w/ 69 credits, core-curriculum finished, 3.87 GPA. Thus I am in. Should I write my own acceptance letter? haha
Anyways, it is my fourth choice school (3 top 20's) but is not a bad fall back. My other safeties are a few spread out public universities such as U. of Georgia and so forth.</p>

<p>I know that UNC says that transfers are all on equal terms in-state or out-of-state there is no preference given. Does anyone know if this is true for Umich??</p>

<p>does being from ny help or hurt my chances at Ross? i have decent grades / great test scores..in a nutshell</p>

<p>I don't believe anywhere it actually directly states that Instate transfers get priority over OOS, but if I had to guess, I'd say it does.</p>

<p>I've asked admissions about it many times before; but never had gotten a straight answer.</p>

<p>What I meant to say was as a freshman applicant to UNC- the competition is much greater for OOS students because the University being public and recieving state funding is required to admit a certain (very large) percentage of in-state-students and since the school is very very popular the other 49 states and however many countries are all vying for what's left over.
As a transfer student however, the university has no quotas to meet so in-state and out-of-state students all have equal opportunity and the decisions are purely based on the applications.</p>

<p>Link? (10)</p>

<p>I'm gonna have to say source for this please. </p>

<p>I can understand if it's GPA, and I've heard rumors of that; but nothing about decisions.</p>

<p>I dont have a link. That is what the transfer advisor told me and the other potential transfers with me at the UNC-CH transfer admissions session. I went to visit in October.</p>

<p>Yeah it's a pretty well known fact that UNC drops the In-state quotas for transfer admissions. I too have no link, but I'm absolutely positive.</p>

<p>Btw, I'm applying to Chapel Hill from UMich. I hope one of you guys gets my spot.</p>

<p>Sorry, thought you were referring to mich</p>

<p>haha, I certainly hope not for University of Michigan, AA... I'm gonna need all the help I can get.</p>

<p>Looking at pure precentages, it seems a lot harder to transfer into UMich than it is to get in as a freshman. Last year 47% of freshmen who applied were accepted as opposed to about 35% of transfers...</p>

<p>BigE-</p>

<p>Those are the only two schools I'm applying to! Why the transfer?? very curious.</p>

<p>I've just confirmed the UMich thing with an admissions officer.</p>

<p>For transfer applicants, in state vs out of state DOES NOT MATTER. </p>

<p>We are all on equal footing I guess. </p>

<p>bahhh I needed all the help too...</p>

<p>I got admitted to UMich for fall 2007. I submitted my application 12/19 and heard back a month later.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.61 from a third tier university.
SAT: 1370/1600
Top 10% in h.s. class
Regular EC's: captain of tennis team in h.s., internships at law and accounting firms.</p>

<p>I am also applying to UNC.... If anyone else got into UMich and wants to talk im me: Dvd2273.</p>
