<p>I’m looking for someone to chance me, but no one seems to care! I mean, that’s one of the purpose of CC, isn’t it? Please Chance me I say, I’ll be grateful.
I’m currently a sophomore in Civil Engineering at the university of illinois at urbana-champaign, and am applying to transfer to UMich’s Industrial Engineering program in Fall 2011. Any advice on the application?
My college GPA is 3.8
Extracurricular activities: Founder of a club, and an active member of two others
Research in Mechanical Engineering - refrigerant migration
ACT 28: Math:34 Eng:29 Reading:23 Sci:24
I’m not a US native, so my reading skills aren’t that good, and as the science part required a lot of reading, i bombed it too. So ACT isn’t very impressive, except the math part.</p>
<p>High School GPA Unweighted: 4.3/4.0 Weighted: 3.78/4.0
Class Rank: 13/428 97th Percentile</p>
<p>What do you people think, am I a good fit? Please please please, any comments or advice will be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Lets learn some English language here.
The word Arrogant comes from the latin word “arrogantem” meaning assuming, overbearing, insolent (meaning insulting).
Arrogant is the adjective form of arrogance which means “offensive display of self-importance”
You know what’s ironic, you are being arrogant in this thread. You falsely call others arrogant when you are insolent and make yourself seem very important and others not. You are making you are displaying self importance by telling other people you don’t care about the appropriate place to put a chance thread and that other people should chance you and it’s there fault for not chancing you. Have you ever considered that they don’t want to or don’t know how to chance you. Think about it, most of the people who get chanced are HIGH SCHOOLERS, not COLLEGE SOPHOMORES. Some people don’t know how to chance you. Also have you ever considered other people who also weren’t chanced…did they complain and whine and falsely call people arrogant? NO so seriously, with that kind of attitude, no one will chance you. You DON’T ask someone for a favor by DENOUNCING them first. You start out politely. The fact that you called people arrogant here will make them less likely to help you.</p>
<p>^ There’s a big difference by saying “People here are so arrogant” and “What’s up with the people here?”</p>
<p>OP if you want to be seriously chanced don’t try to come up with a clever title. Just be direct and posters who want to chance you will chance you.</p>
<p>there engineering program is one of the best in the nation
if you are an underrepresented minority, your chances are good</p>
<p>if you are of asian descent, your chances are probably low
but then again, i’m just judging on what’s above
and plenty of transfers get into u of m’s undergrad, especially from community colleges
also, a lot of ppl on cc didn’t chance you probably because no one can really chance transfers well,
and most ppl at cc aim for ivy and ivy transfers and don’t really chance for schools like michigan which are known for taking over 50% of applicants~ just b/c it’s hard to judge on who will/won’t get in</p>
<p>I think aglages is pointing out the fact that the OP made that “What’s up with the people here” thread, too? I could be wrong though.</p>
<p>And OP, I agree with the other statements here. It’s hard to chance transfers because not many people know how that side of the spectrum functions, adcoms-wise.</p>
<p>There wasn’t any need to define words for me, I can do that myself. It’s funny to see how most answers were completely off topic. You know this is the internet, right? Don’t take things personally.
Thanks to the people who replied to the question. Your opinion matters to me.
