University of Michigan Transfer

Chance Me / Match Me!

Hello Everyone!
I’ll cut to it. Last fall, I applied to the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor as a senior in high school. I applied to the College of Engineering for the Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering program, early action, and was deferred and then wait-listed. I’m in the College of Engineering at Virginia Tech right now and I plan on applying to Michigan again this year as a rising sophomore. I apply directly to the department of Naval Architecture this time, NOT the College of Engineering overall. By the end of this year, I will have completed all of the required courses and I have well above the required 3.0 GPA. I have also joined 2 competitive engineering teams at Virginia Tech that relate to marine engineering, a human powered submarine team and an autonomous sailboat team. Does anyone have an idea of my chances of getting in? I know that the department there always has transfers (it is only 25-30 students annually total) but I do not have any further statistics on transfer students for that department. If anyone has any information please let me know!

Thanks!

I have been having issues adjusting to Blacksburg Virginia. I only knew two people at the school when I came and I still am having issues with meeting people and making friends, even with the EC’s and a fraternity. I spend a lot of time alone. I also grew up wanting to go to Michigan. It is where a lot of my home town goes, and even after a full semseter at a college this hasn’t changed. I visited the school earlier this year and I was still very drawn to it, and that its still the school I want to go to. My application is also in, it was submitted January 10th.
