@Sneakerhead91 - I can assure you it is true, in fact, here are some statistics that prove it so: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0yve243EBqtNlRwSlZpY3pTQzZFX1BNZXhnNjdZUQ/edit?pli=1

Although you may have been an anomaly, don’t suggest it is common for many students to transfer in such a manner, that is wrong. In fact, if you would read the UofM external transfer website, you would see they state it so.

My point remains that the original poster is likely to be accepted, regardless of the semester, because of his high school stats. However, if someone was not in a similar position, with worse HS stats, they would most certainly be rejected.

@anthonyxy21 - You are most certainly correct in saying that all they care about is grades and credits for transfer students. I recently had my transfer application migrated for Winter 2013 admission and they are not requesting me to write any essays, fill out the new Common App, describe extracurricular activities, or pay an application fees. They just want a college transcript.
