Winter 2013 Transfer Thread

<p>Good luck Matisyahu, not like you need it. ;)</p>

<p>I already have submitted my application, it never hurts to submit it early. I do not know the average GPA for transfer students. I know the acceptance rate for Fall '11 was 40%, nothing more.</p>

<p>@albo23</p>

<p>Thanks XD.</p>

<p>I think it will be a huge advantage for you - the fact that you submitted early. Are you applying to any other schools?</p>

<p>Not this semester. If I get rejected to UofM for the third time, I’ll apply to them one last time and a whole host of others.</p>

<p>@albo Do we need to submit school forms? mid term report, instructor evaluation or school report??</p>

<p>Nopeeeeeeee</p>

<p>love it how mich makes application so easy. unlike others.</p>

<p>Getting the school report is quite possibly the biggest pain in the as*.</p>

<p>How much difference does it make that one is in-state compared to out of state?</p>

<p>Hey Matisyahu. From what I’ve been hearing, in-state vs.OOS doesn’t really make that much of a difference when transferring. It only really makes a difference when applying for freshman admission. It’s kind of unfortunate for me because I’m an in-state student, but it does make it more fair. Best of luck to you! (With your stats, you’re not going to need it)</p>

<p>Thanks megagamerexe XD. I was just wondering because some schools like UNC favors in-state students. Good luck to you also sir.</p>

<p>Just out of curiosity, how long are you guys’ essays? Max is 500 words, would it be okay to go to around 550?</p>

<p>mines like 470. i guess its ok as long as its quality content and not just making up the numbers</p>

<p>How many teacher recommendations can we send?</p>

<p>You can send however many you want. However, a letter of recommendation is not needed or required for transfer acceptance. From what I understand, the only credentials that are really looked at for people of Junior status are the number of credits taken and college GPA. For people who are of sophomore status like myself, they will also look at my high school grades and ACT score when making a decision.</p>

<p>Thanks so much for the info dude XD.
Are you a gamer? Ps3?</p>

<p>Plus how cold is Michigan?</p>

<p>I’m not as much of a gamer as I used to be. I mean I still do play, just not nearly as much. I’m an Xbox, steam, and gameboy kinda guy. Megagamerexe is really just an old screename of mine that I put when I don’t know what else to write. Pertaining to your other question, you have to be more specific. Michigan is freezing cold in the winter, but it can also be over 100 degrees in the summer. Really, the weather is unpredictable and can change instantly.</p>

<p>Loved Michigan since American Pie lol.</p>

<p>Hey, I was wondering what you guys thought of my chances for transferring.</p>

<p>Transferring as a junior
60 credits
Current college: UM-Dearborn
In-state
College GPA: 3.8
Major-Political Science </p>

<p>HS stats

About 3.5 unweighted, I think

Rejected as a freshman</p>

<p>I think you’ve got a very good chance wolverine33.</p>

<p>Application sent! good luck everyone :)</p>

<p>Since NFL is starting, Go Steelers!</p>

<p>Oh, and I don’t know if it matters, but for EC’s, I work like 10 hours a week and I play on the club rugby team at UM-Ann Arbor. I don’t think it makes much of a difference, but it’s something.</p>
