University of Michigan Winter 2021 Transfer Thread

@moka222 and when did you recieve your portal?

@Uofm2024 I received my portal at the same time Sep. 29, if the portal meaning the Umich application status website.

I havenā€™t found a link but I was wondering if there was a thread or page for admitted students? Iā€™m transferring from U of M Dearborn to Ann Arbor and Iā€™m not really sure how the whole thing works lol. Iā€™m currently a sophomore.

Does anybody know when weā€™ll hear about fin aid and scholarships?

omg! me too!!!

Omg i didnā€™t know anyone else from my campus was transferring too lol

Anyone get decisions today?

I got rejā€¦

@moka222 really?

@Uofm2024 I havenā€™t got mine.

@behzlee me either

Hello, this is a little off topic but, to any students who are transferring to UMich Ann Arbor this winter who wants to move into a dorm, Iā€™m currently a student here who is moving into an apartment so I need to find someone to give my housing contract to. If anybody here wants to dorm in Bursley Hall or South Quad this winter 2021 term please send me an email at kevinzhx@umich.edu and we can discuss the details.

Rejected

I am still waiting for mineā€¦ I probably got rejected too.

Umich emailed me one week after I turned in my application asking me to send my in-progress grades before making a final decision. I am doing a semester at UM-Flint because I have 60 credits from an early college program, so it will be too late to apply for fallā€¦i will have too many credits. Does this sound like a good sign? If they wanted to reject me, would they care about my grades in progress?

I got a similar email asking me to upload my ā€œCurrent Course Selectionā€ on Oct.6th, but I was on my Annual Vacation Quarter and not enrolled. I was so nervous since they said that the final decision would be made based on it, but I was not even enrolled. I then wrote a pretty long email, explaining my situation and told them what I planned to do during this break. I also took the chance to express how I loved UM and the hope that my application would not be disadvantaged for my situation. I got an email the following morning saying how they appreciated me sharing my plan during the break, and the information in the email would be included in the review process. A few hours later, I was admitted:) So for those who are asked to upload additional material, donā€™t stress out! I was not even enrolled but still admitted. Think of it as an opportunity to write an additional essay showing who you are and expressing your love to the school. Best luck to yall!

youā€™re only in your very first semester of college, right? if they canā€™t see any of your college coursework, it would be difficult to admit you as a transfer, not because of anything to do with you. I got rejected applying my freshman year too, and I got in to start my second semester here. Rejection does not feel good but at the end of the day, this decision probably had very little to do with you and everything to do with just not knowin enough about you yet. I really really encourage you to try again.
