My Shot At Redemption

<p>Alright, so this upcoming fall 2010, I’m gonna be a freshmen at Texas A&M University. During my senior year, I applied to Michigan EA, got deferred, and then rejected. So now, my goal is to transfer in. So basically, I wanna know how transfer applications work and what applicants must do. Also, when are the deadlines and is it hard getting in? Plus, after how many semesters should I apply and how closely would they look at my high school stuff? And finally, I’m majoring in Biomedical Sciences at A&M and am planning to apply to LSA at Michigan; my question is should I apply to another college at Michigan or what major should I apply for in LSA. Thank you!</p>

SAT: 1940, 1870, 2060 (all of these were sent)

<p>bro you have so much specific stuff on here im sure it wouldnt be difficult for someone to look you up.</p>

<p>seriously man, i can’t even read through a quarter of this stuff because i’m sick of reading ‘clear lake high school’</p>

<p>oh…sorry about that</p>

<p>Just curious, why do you want to come to UM all the way from Texas?</p>

<p>you don’t need to apologize. it’s for your own privacy</p>

<p>first priority is do well in school.
get involved around campus a little bit but make sure you are doing well in school
get your app in early. get your recs, transcript, and other stuff they require sorted out early as well.</p>

<p>if you are doing biomed sciences apply to LSA it has all the stuff like biology, CMB, biochem, neurosci, etc.</p>

<p>good luck.</p>

<p>thanks kdawg</p>

<p>blackpen: i really like u-mich, it’s a great university, and its certainly better than anything in texas</p>
