IMO it’s not worth retaking a 750 for an 800 for a transfer applicant.

HS record is weighted more for soph transfers due to the short college record. It doesn’t help that half of your fall credits are P/F. Generally schools only see a midterm report before making decisions, but since UMichigan finishes so early, there is a possibility that they’d consider an unofficial grade report if you turn it in ASAP. D1 transfered out of UMichigan as a soph and submitted her grade report, no idea if colleges actually considered it though.

Those schools are fine as long as you’re OK with staying at UMIchigan for another year if you don’t get admitted to any of them. If you really want to transfer as a soph, you might want to consider others with acceptance rates like Wes and Oberlin.
