<p>Still waiting for mine and I applied two weeks ago.</p>
<p>yo
my ladyfriend, a rising sophomore at oakland university to umich
she’s currently in a bfa acting program but is applying to lsa, so i’m not sure if they’d be looking more at college or hs gpa
3.7 college gpa
3.7 high school gpa
32 act
in-state
legacy
dean’s list/alpha lambda delta/a drama club at her university/works at a restaurant/nhs treasurer/hs theatre club officer/did a camp through umich/worked at a camp for autistic kids/there may be a few other things i’m forgetting
excellent rec letter(s) from her professor(s) (i think only one has gotten back to her thus far)
excellent essays</p>
<p>I called in and they said that they’ll probably send out wolverine access sometime next week!</p>
<p>Your spreadsheet looks suspect as hell, and there’s no way to verify anyone’s numbers. The person with an MSU 3.9, 31 ACT, & 3.6 HS GPA was rejected…from Ross? I find it hard to believe LSA would reject someone so proven, while your list states tons of junior college kids got in.</p>
<p>who here is applying to LSA? any out of staters? where yall planning on living if accepted?</p>
<p>Wait…what is going on here? What’s wrong with accommodation or LSA?</p>
<p>LSA, out of state. top 10 liberal arts school</p>
<p>alright, now we play the waiting game. i was told 6-8 weeks b4 we get a decision.</p>
<p>Worth a shot at UofM. We’ll see what happens. I’ll just keep applying until I get in. =P</p>
<p>My Stats:
College GPA: 3.338 from GVSU
Incoming Credits: only 26
ACT: 31
HS GPA: 3.1 from college prep near A2 with mostly science courses.
Essays: Excellent.
Notes:
- Second time applying for admission
- In-state, from A2
- Took part in several UofM run competitions and either won or ranked highly
- Currently Mechanical Engineering going for Aerospace at UMich
- Letters of rec
- Deans list second semester freshman year. First semester did not go very well for reasons that I regret.</p>
<p>im sooo damn worried. i wanna get into UM so badly. any of yall planning on living on campus if accepted??</p>
<p>If I get accepted for Winter semester, I’m planning on living with my parents unless I can live with a friend or find reasonable housing. If I’m there during fall semester either way, I’ll be living very near campus with friends, all fellow engineers…</p>
<p>i was looking at last years winter transfer thread and i saw that ppl were getting replies from michigan in mid october</p>
<p>Oh really? But have you got the app id yet? How do they reply without having all your application materials?</p>
<p>i have not got a reply back, i was talking about ppl who applied for last winter. i completed my application on oct 1.</p>
<p>hey guys! i applied last year for fall 2013 and was rejected, so i updated my application to winter term and am anxiously waiting for a response! they received all of my application materials on Sep. 4th. </p>
<p>here are my stats if any of you are interested:
HS GPA: 3.1(UW)/3.3(W)
23 ACT
ECs: choir (4 years), cheerleading (2 years), and other random community service opportunities. basically, i sucked in hs, but my hs is ranked class A and is very rigorous.</p>
<p>Current sophomore at Western Mich. Univ.
GPA: 3.875
Creds: 31 completed at WMU/ 5 completed at KVCC (got a 4.0); 36 overall completed.
Currently taking 18 credits, so if I am admitted, I will be coming in with 54 completed credits.
ECs: Dean’s List for all completed semesters, invited to Alpha Lambda Delta, Lee Honors college student, soloist in on campus a cappella group, member of AMSA, volunteer at Borgess Hospital, and sales associate at Old Navy.</p>
<p>I might add that my hs grades were terrible, but my last two years, my semester gpa’s fell between 3.7-4.1, so i do have an upward trend. </p>
<p>Also, I decided to write an additional essay when updating my app, and I wrote about how my foreign exchange student from germany taught that being “different” is cool, and how he helped me explore the importance of diversity while also helping me discover what my “different” characteristics had to offer. hopefully that will help me. 
</p>
<p>im freaking out. i don’t wanna be rejected again.</p>
<p>^ the only reason you were rejected was your lack of credits. </p>
<p>Michigan LSA has a fairly structured approach to evaluating transfer applications. There are a few basic questions they ask about every applicant. These are the questions in order of general importance / relevance.</p>
<p>highly important:</p>
<h1>1 Will the student have enough credits upon matriculation to satisfy junior status (60+)? (if you don’t meet this requirement, your 4.0 GPA in graduate level physics coursework WILL BE REJECTED)</h1>
<h1>2 Has the student completed most of his/her prerequisites prior to transferring?</h1>
<h1>3 a.) Does the student have at least a 3.5 cumulative G.P.A OR b.) has the student demonstrated a notable upward trend in grade performance?</h1>
<p>less important:</p>
<h1>4 writing prompt and essay</h1>
<h1>5 intended major (those looking to enroll in low demand majors are more likely to be looked upon favorably (i.e. LSA recently began a computer science major, but the expansion has failed to attract much interest. In this way, someone applying to major in computer science would help to enhance the institution as a whole and would be seen as a beneficial addition to the university.</h1>
<h1>6 extracurricular activities</h1>
<p>So are you saying my chances aren’t good for winter term? I applied with 36 completed credits and 54 would be incoming if I were admitted. Also, I don’t understand how they prefer 60+ credits. They don’t accept anything over 60 credits…</p>
<p>I’m only telling you what I know. The cutoff for consideration is 45 credits, with increasing penalty to your chances for acceptance for each credit under 60. The only exception to this is students who were initially accepted as freshman but turned down admission (I believe if they maintain a 3.0 at their respective institution they can accept admission as a transfer the following academic year)</p>
<p>This rule is in place at almost every public institution in the country. The reason being is that public universities are delegated, per state funding legislation, as educational destinations for students enrolled in junior college networks. Since junior colleges students have no choice but to seek a four-year institution in their third year, large public universities are required to give precedence to those students who have junior-level status at the time of application. </p>
<p>The way educational administrators see it is that a student with junior level status and a 3.4 G.P.A. in communications at a community college has higher right and need to transfer than a student with sophomore level status and a 4.0 G.P.A. in Chemical Engineering at a four year college. The latter student might seem more academically and rigorously prepared than the former, but his lesser standing provides him more flexibility at his current institution, and therefore his chances for admission are less propitious than the other student.</p>
<p>e130468 when u say 60+ credits do you mean quarter credits , trimester, or semester credits?</p>
<p>how much does an upward trend actually matter? I plan to apply to architecture and my grades have gone from absolutely horrible (and i really do mean horrible) in hs to a 4.0 average in the previous semesters (approaching 40+ credits now)</p>
