How did you "demonstrate interest" in Michigan?

Colleges & Universities University of Michigan

<p>Some suggestions:

  1. Make it clear Michigan is your first choice and that you will accept if offered a spot in the class (if true)
  2. Have essays be specifically about Michigan. If Michigan is your number one choice think about two sets of Common App Applications. One for Michigan and one for everyone else. If you have not already applied then be specific about Michigan and the area of interest. Try contacting the department you want to apply to and participate in anything they have for High School students. As a transfer I think it helped my son to talk specifically about a area of study he wanted to be part of rather than just LS&A for example.
  3. If you have already applied I would try 1 and continue to express interest.</p>

<p>Having had two kids apply I’m not really sure how much desire plays into the decision.</p>
