Just starting this thread for any of you who are applying for this term like myself!
Yea i’m interested in applying for the Winter 2020 term. I am a US Navy veteran. Just finished my Freshman year at UM-Dearborn. I’m at a 3.3 GPA and majoring in Economics. I am taking 5 classes this summer. And I am not working a part time any more so I should be getting all A’s this Summer. I am also a legacy student. My mom and sisters are all Umich Alumni.
Hi guys! I’m planning on applying for the winter semester. I really hope to get in! Can’t wait to see everyones decisions! Best of luck!
For those who have applied and got denied a previous semester: are you guys reapplying or just updating your application?
@leejackie99 I updated my application. As soon as I am done with my community college summer courses I am going to send both updated transcripts. Good luck to you all. I hope this semester we all get lucky.
Hey everyone! Glad to see that this thread has started. Anybody want to chance me?

Hi everyone! I’m rolling over my application from Fall 2019 to Winter 2020.
By the time I roll over my application, I’ll have 40 completed, transferable units and 15 in progress
As of now, I have a 4.0 but my GPA might drop to a 3.7-.3.8 after Spring but go back up to 3.8-3.9 after my Summer classes which will be seen as complete rather than in progress since they’ll be done in August!
What do you think my chances are? I’m scared 40 completed units still isn’t enough
Coming from a community college btw
did any of you guys apply for fall 2019 and get a rejection email that said this? was this a normal rejection email or do you guys think i have a chance of getting in for winter 2020?
"Dear [your name]:
After an individualized and comprehensive review of your application for admission to the University of Michigan, we regret that we are not able to offer you a place in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts for Fall 2019.
The Office of Undergraduate Admissions considers many factors in evaluating transfer applicants to the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts (LSA) including the number of credit hours completed in transferable course work, the grades earned in this coursework, the progress toward completion of general LSA degree requirements, as well as an applicant’s personal characteristics, background, and essay responses. Because you do not have enough transferable credits to be at junior standing, we also considered your academic record from high school, including your GPA and your standardized test scores.
The quality of academic work you demonstrated last semester was impressive, and it was noted in the evaluation of your application.
If your interest in attending the University of Michigan continues, you should continue to build upon the strong academic performance you have shown and update your application for consideration for the next available term. Please request this update in writing prior to the deadline of your desired new term of entry. Also include the name of the institution you are attending, course title(s), course number(s), and number of credit hours you will complete prior to the desired term of entry. If a new application fee or additional information is required, we will notify you. For more information, go to https://umich.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/471.
The interest you have shown in the University is appreciated, and we extend to you our best wishes for success in the achievement of your educational goals.
Sincerely,
Erica L. Sanders
Director"
I think that’s a pretty generic response
When will the common app open for the winter term? And how much the standardized weighs in the application?
