@msu2020 nothing is guaranteed. BUT as long as you did it “right” the first time around, i.e. you didn’t send an enrollment deposit in just to never talk to UM again and then go to State or anything similar
I was rejected for Fall 2016, revised my app for summer 2017 with stats as follows:
Current College: Oakland Community College (MI)
GPA: 3.95
UM GPA: 4.00
Transferable Credits: 54 (including winter term of 22 credits, 12 transferable)
Applying to LSA for BCN degree
Job working 31+ hours/week in addition to 21 credit hours at a 4.0 last semester
Internship working 14 hours/week
PTK member
Other misc. EC’s
HS: Average public HS in MI
GPA: 3.2ish
ACT: 28 (32E, 30M, 26R, 23S)
I’ve been rejected twice. Third time SHOULD be the charm.
@mjr2013 why do you think you were denied for last year? Not enough credits?
@dullbd I pm’d you before I saw you posted here too, but yes. The rejection letter noted that I had less than junior standing, so my [less than stellar] high school record was considered, and that they noted and factored my impressive work the previous semester, however they prefer transfers with junior standing.
@Wolverine251 yeah I’m planning on reapplying just to LSA!
Plus does anyone know the transfer acceptance rate to LSA, Econ major? Couldn’t find that anywhere…
Does anybody know if they review applications all at once or is it a first come first served basis? Basically, is there any disadvantage to applying close to the feb 2nd deadline?
Does anyone know when they release the decisions for transfer students?
hey guys,
Wasn’t planning to apply, but changed my mind, here’s my stats(chance me please):
Top 60 public university
Rising Junior
Major: Economics and Political Science(LSA)
GPA: 4.0
ECs: president of 2 clubs, congressional intern, student mentor, part time job, member of another club
SAT: 1550/2400, I retook in college and got 1390/1600. but pretty sure Michigan wont except that
HS GPA: like 2.9/2.8 I think
Question: what the deal with transferable credits? I will have taken 60 credits by end of this year but when you guys say transferable do you mean their on the transfer credit equivalency page or whatever? Cause not that many of mine are
is it more difficult to transfer from out of state?
Hey this is going to my third time applying, I’ve got a good feeling this time but we’ll see. If you’ve got any questions from my previous (failed) attempts I’d be happy to answer them for you.
Stats:
-4.0 GPA from in state community college
-57 credit hours
-12 additional credit hours from AP classes
-31 ACT
-terrible 2.5 or something high school GPA, somewhat explained because I had untreated ADHD
-will have associates degree by transfer time
-mid level supervisor at corporate retail job
-honors society
This is going to be my last shot at applying so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. I’ve kept my GPA up, taken the most rigorous courses my college has to offer and I’ve literally picked my classes straight from michigan’s transfer guide so all my classes would transfer.
I’m currently putting the finishing touches on my essays so I can turn in my app by the end of the week. I highly recommend everyone get their application in ASAP. They sent out admission’s decisions on a rolling basis and they absolutely will see your app before others if it is turned in earlier. My academic advisor at my CC used to work admission’s at Michigan and he told me he’s known people who turned in their application on Jan 10th and got their decision on Jan 24th.
Best of luck to everyone!
Anyone else here applying for the computer science program? I’ve been waiting for an answer to @idkwhatimdoinglol. I’m applying from OOS as well.
Stats:
- White, Caucasian male.
- Nontraditional Student (I’ll be 26 in March)
- First-Gen Student
- 4.0 GPA from community college in NJ.
- I have finished the prerequisite courses UM has listed for computer science transfers and will be taking a few extra math classes than required.
- 60 credit hours. Will have 74 credit hours and my Associates of Science after this semester.
- My high school stats were terrible. I don’t have the numbers handy at the moment, but they were bad. I graduated from HS in 2009.
Extras:
- 3 semesters of undergrad research.
- Hobbyist programmer. I’ve been keeping pretty active on Github over the last year or so, mostly just with my own projects. (bbugyi200 (Bryan Bugyi) · GitHub)
- Worked full-time at Comcast throughout all of college except for this last semester.
^^^ Because of this I only took around 10-11 credits per semester except for my last where I took 15.
Has anyone seen similar candidates admitted? I’m hoping being an OOS community college student and part-time (10-11 credits) throughout most of college isn’t going to make it impossible for me.
Thanks for reviewing this! Good luck everyone!
Has anyone received their admissions decisions?
I’ll get in on this (please chance me);
College: top 40 liberal arts college
Prospective Sophomore
Major: Economics (hoping to eventually go to Ross, but I’ll be more than happy as an Exon major in CAS)
GPA: 3.93
ECs: Investment Club, Men’s Club Rugby, Improv Clyb
ACT: 32
HS: 3.15 (went to a nationally-ranked private school)
I was deferred during early action for freshman year
I’m OOS, by the way.
I’m an OOS 4 year university transfer (junior standing) and I hate the UC policy here in California with community colleges. I have a 3.85 GPA after this fall semester and feel like with my EC’s, essays and GPA, I’m a perfect candidate for colleges like UCB and UCLA here in my home state of California, but they give first priority to community college students and give last priority to students like me from a 4 year university even if a community college student has a lower GPA than I do. Is Michigan more transfer friendly towards 4 year university transfer students than the UC’s tend to be? I heard that they are but I don’t know for sure. Does anyone here know?
@cassidylynnn hopfully someone more knowledge will answer this for you. But I don’t believe either OOS is taken into account and if anything you have advantage being at another 4 year college(assuming u have good reason to transfer)
Also: Umichigan has online help center. You don’t even have to call or email!!!so trust them more then me.
So I know that Michigan states that they give preference to their junior applicants with 55+ credits. Does anyone know if that means that we need to have 55+ credits already completed as of right now or does it mean that we need to have 55+ credits completed by the end of spring 2017? I will have 57 credits completed by the end of spring but I only have 39 credits completed as of right now. My 18 credits that are in progress show up on my transcript. They never specified this on their website, and most of the schools I’m applying to consider you a junior applicant if you have 55-60+ credits completed by the end of spring 2017 so it would be great if anyone could answer this for me about Michigan!
@cassidylynnn The more credits you have completed the better but as far as I know what they mean by Junior applicants with 55+ credits means that by the time you enroll you will have 55+ credits and junior standing. I’m pretty sure they’d be looking at how many graded credits you have now plus what classes you’re currently enrolled in as how many credits you’d have upon admission. I can only go off what I’ve read and my conversations with admissions reps but I would say it’s not a bad idea to email your admission’s advisor ask them.
Also one small thing that may not necessarily apply to you but for everyone else as well. Any credits earned by taking AP tests they do not consider. Even if your AP score gives you credits at Michigan from what I’ve been told they are not taken into consideration. When I applied previously my AP score gave me credit for classes at my current school that do transfer to Michigan and with those credits I was above 55 credits but my decision said I was not considered a Junior.
@historyrepeat How many completed credits did you apply with last time? I’m on the quarter system but I applied with 62 quarter credits = 41.3 semester credits and will have 94 quarter credits = 62 semester credits at the end of this year because I still have two more quarters left for this academic year!
Also when is the earliest we can hear? My application was marked complete December 16th.
