<p>So I was looking at the statistics for transfer admissions at UM and I noticed it was really high, but I was wondering if it applies to sophomores as well as juniors? I applied and got as a freshman but didn't go, and now I realize that that's where i want to be. Thanks</p>
<p>Transfer=junior status</p>
<p>That not true but thanks anyways. Here’s an article I found for anyone in the same boat:</p>
<p>[Michigan</a> Could Allow More Sophomore Transfer Students - The Paper Trail (usnews.com)](<a href=“http://www.usnews.com/education/blogs/paper-trail/2009/02/02/michigan-could-allow-more-sophomore-transfer-students]Michigan”>http://www.usnews.com/education/blogs/paper-trail/2009/02/02/michigan-could-allow-more-sophomore-transfer-students)</p>
<p>thanks for the article! it was quite useful!</p>
<p>As for the statistics, they are an average of all transfer students, so second semester all the way up, but a majority of their transfers are juniors. the main reason for the high gpa is the number of community college students who apply for transfer, and for a very limited number of openings. this means they have to be the top of the top because EVERY CC student in michigan applies to u mich</p>
<p>hope this helps - im trying to transfer as well :)</p>
<p>Which website did you guys use to look at stats?</p>
<p>If you look under the transfer student thread in the UM section you will see how much harder it is to transfer as a sophomore. There were plenty of students with 3.9 and 4.0 gpa’s who were rejected. You should try to transfer after 1 year, but your chances are very slim. Then again, you were accepted in hs so…</p>
