If this is your school of choice and you don’t get in right away, then you can always attend one of the community colleges first. I decided to attend community college to save on expenses and get many pre-reqs outta the way.
As a transfer student, I got into Umich with only a 3.75 GPA. I didn’t have any special activities to include, but I did work full time and the school knows this.
I know many people that didn’t bother applying because they thought that they’d be rejected, but the school really does look at your whole character. I knew someone with a 3.9 GPA that was rejected! Good essays, good activities, and good upwards movement in performance always helps!
I assume it’s just one of many choices, but it’s always good to keep a few doors open.
