How do you know you are top 5%?

Perhaps this will help. I don’t know enough about intra campus transfers to rate you but if going to law school, not sure the where matters.

Best of luck to you.

The student received the Branstrom Award, which is by definition the top 5%.

You seem like a strong applicant. Have you spoken to a counselor at Dearborn or AA? Your Dearborn counselor or advisor would probably be able to estimate your chances better than anyone here.

My guess is that your chances are good, but it’s only a guess. Someone at Dearborn should be able to advise and predict pretty well.

I see - thanks. Not familiar. Congrats to him.

Student seems to have a lot going.

Are there different transfer rules from within the UM system vs. outside?

I hope things work out well for OP.

They are treated as external transfers but their classes and GPA transfer if they matriculate.

So the OP looks strong and did a great job elevating from high school. Transferring as a junior Michigan will not look at your high school record.

I would reach out to the transfer admissions at Ann Arbor for questions and yes your Dearborn Counselor for chances. They would know the actual numbers.

Good Luck.

It was recorded on my transcript and I was informed through the Dean’s Office

Thank you for the compliment! I greatly appreciate it.
I haven’t spoken to any counselors yet. Personally (and I truly don’t say this to make fun of Dearborn in any way) from my experience the counselors I’ve had there aren’t that great, but I’ll see if I can talk to any counselors from AA.
Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the compliments!
I’m considered as an external transfer, however, my GPA will transfer over since Dearborn is considered a UMich school, so thankfully that 4.0 will remain at Ann Arbor.
