Is getting in as a soph transfer nearly impossible?

@albo23 - Ah, really? Awesome, thanks for the reply! I was feeling pretty distraught about the whole matter.

@Sneakerhead91 - I saw that option of transferring as a 2nd-semester freshman. I guess it’s worth a shot to apply for that, then? That would be ideal.

@anthonyxy21 - Ah, so I see you’re suggesting to apply for the winter semester as well. I took notice to the prereqs that are directly transferrable like ECON 100 and 110, so I tried to build my course wishlist around that. However, would AP credits transfer from Pitt to Mich? For example, I got a 5 on AP Lang and Comp, which gives me credit for ENGCMP 0200. Would this credit then satisfy my first-year writing requirement, or would I still have to take the actual class for transferrable credit? And the same for Calculus and Macro/Micro. It would be ideal to start off in Math 240, so long as I managed to get a 5 on Calc BC this past May. Would that AP credit also satisfy Actuarial Math prereqs like ECON 101 and 102 and the lower-level Math courses, even though I’m transferring? I know I can’t use AP credit for distribution requirements, but if it can satisfy some prereqs, that would be pretty awesome. I probably have to contact UMich admissions.

Haha, wow, what a coincidence. Do you think the Actuarial Math program at Mich is a solid one, then? I haven’t found out about my housing assignment yet, but I’m hoping to get the honors housing in Sutherland. I don’t really want to be stuck in those towers. I heard about Pamela’s, but I haven’t tried it. I guess I’ll make that one of my priorities before I (hopefully) transfer out.
