University of Michigan Winter 2022 Transfer Thread

How did you change the essays?

Well, when I applied for winter 2022, I did it on Common App. It gave me all my old essays and I just started editing them. There probably is another way and I suggest you email the transfer office as they will be the best source of info. Hope I helped. Good luck!

Oh so for both Fall 2021 and Winter 2022, you submitted through the Common App. Thats what I want to do. But they are saying all you need to do is update your term

yes, send updated essays to this email once application is complete: oua-transfers@umich.edu .
make sure you tell them that those are the updated essays.

Yeah, that’s what I did. They also told me to update my term but that doesn’t make sense as I would be uploading the same essays and info that got me rejected in the first place, hence the common app submission on my end.

So after you did that, did they give you a new UM ID and enrollment connect portal or same one? Thanks a lot by the way

Sorry to hear that. Did you apply to LSA or engineering if you don’t mind me asking?

you keep the same UM ID and enrollment connect login. i’m not sure if they delete your previous essays and replace with new ones or keep old essays and add a note on application indicating you submitted updated essays.

Is that if you do it in the update term way or submitting another application again

i believe you keep the same UM ID and enrollment connect information for both cases.

In my rejection letter, it did not say to reapply. Is that fine? Thanks.

Hi. Are you applying LSA?

I think there will over 7000 students apply transfer this year

Where did that number come from?

Where did you hear this? Typical admission PER YEAR I hear is roughly 4500 students. You’re saying you heard of 7k applicants to LSA alone?

2021 fall is around 6400. Umich have transfer data in their website

A lot of students was waitlisted as first year applicant this year.

around 5200. And median GPA is 3.8

Sorry for the late reply, had an exam. Yep, they gave me a new ID and a new portal. So when I go to enrollment connect, I technically have the option to open my high school app and my fall 2021 one but they have no info in it. Only my winter 2022 option works. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply, did you make sure the way you did it was acceptable?
