University of Michigan Transfer Thread

<p>Is umich hard to get in?</p>

<p>It's fairly competitive. It's not like Ivy's where they'll deny 4.0's, but you can't slack off either. </p>

<p>Generally, a 3.8-4.0 will get you in, if your SAT/ACT scores reflect those scores as well.</p>

<p>But that's just a general thought.</p>

<p>hello all. i have two questions about michigan. first off, i got email #4 from michigan about a month ago, and I've been checking Wolverine Access constantly. The only link I see on the website concerning admissions says 'View Application Status' which just links the data of my application. Does this mean that no decision has been made yet?</p>

<p>The second question that I have is about the transition to Michigan. I am currently at a very small new-england private college (a NESCAC college). Has anyone had experience transferring from such a small college to such a large one such as Michigan? If so, how has their experience been? Can it be very intimidating?</p>

<p>To your first question</p>

<p>when a decision has been made, you get a little thing that says "View Decision" after you click Application Status or something like that.</p>

<p>what is the 4/4 email.</p>

<p>never mind, it didn't register for a moment.</p>

<p>Hey! I got in as a Transfer for Summer 2007. </p>

<p>My Cumulative GPA was only 3.0 at the max. My freshman year I was in Boston, I got a 2.3 GPA for the entire year. Second year (now) I am in a Michigan community college and I have a 3.8 GPA, so my cumulative GPA is pretty low but I still got in. </p>

<p>I really focused on my essays and I've done a lot of unique extracurriculars. I've been living overseas for 18 years so I guess... if you stand out then you will make it. </p>

<p>Good luck to all!</p>

<p>By the way, I got into the LSA , not the B-program. I hope to get into the B-program this all or next spring. It's impossible to get into the B-program if you are NOT a Michigan student. They take only 750 students or so a year into the program and 3% are transfers from another college. That is only 2 people. </p>

<p>I know one of the 2 people admitted to the B-program. He goes to my community college and he's 35, been to the army, has children - your untypical student.</p>

<p>Sorry I meant non-typical*</p>

<p>yezzir--
it seems like the deferrals are out so you're probably in...or not.</p>

<p>Wait...by that do you mean if we haven't been deferred at this point that we should expect either a reject/accept only?</p>

<p>I definately cannot say that...because....Michigan is rolling...until march 1st but they make initial sortings of the apps I believe, def. admits, def. rejects and then the defferals so that they can "fill in the gaps" for their incoming class. I know that they let defferals know asap so that they can "make alternate plans" as I believe they put it. I don't know if they do the same with rejections because.....nobody ever posts a rejection.</p>

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I got in to the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor</p>

<p>I came back home, drunk, and turned on my computer hoping to watch newly added Family Guy clips on YouTube.</p>

<p>Somehow, I went to UMich online status site. I saw a new link that says "View Decision" and clicked.</p>

<p>The first line I read was "Congratulations". I closed the window and started watching the FamilyGuy.</p>

<p>I was finally sober around 7AM and re-checked the status. Surely, I got accepted.</p>

<p>It puzzles me because there are numerous errors on my applications:</p>

<p>spelling errors
grammar errors</p>

<p>a huge negative factor</p>

<p>-My transcript from the current institution arrived on March 2nd.</p>

<p>eh, whatever, I got in.</p>

<p>cvjn, are you 100% sure you are going to UMich?</p>

<p>Yeah, I paid the stuff already. You?</p>

<p>Not yet...</p>

<p>I applied to other places too...</p>

<p>generally, how many credits should you accumulate at your current school before applying to u mich? also, iam wondering how this credit thing works.... lets just say the MINIMUM credit u need to have is 30. so if i have 15 after the 1st semester does that mean i have to wait until the end of my second semester? or can i just apply after accumulating 15 and tell them that i WILL be getting the additional 15 in the 2nd semester. much thanks.</p>

<p>I had 16 credits. I have 17 this semester. I believe they looked at me as a 16 credit student, with intent for 17. Basically a mix of what you said. </p>

<p>I applied when I had finished 16.</p>

<p>Anybody else going to UMich? or accepted?</p>

<p>I got accepted to UMich LSA but i'm not sure if I'm going. If I get in UVA i'll go there. If not, then i'll be going to UMich. Currently I go to PSU and I'm majoring in Accounting, but I'd rather do Econ at Mich coz it is better ranked.</p>

<p>I got accepted for fall 2007 to LSA...I am going if I dont get into UNC or UVA......if anyone else is accepted/going im me, AIM:dvd2273</p>

<p>I just got in! </p>
