Hey there,

I also got rejected from Michigan as a high school student (3.4 GPA, 34 ACT), and ended up going to UMD for 3 semesters before transferring in January of 2011. I tried transferring twice. The first time i applied for Fall 2010 and was rejected, because although my college grades were good, they give preference transferring to those with junior status. The second time I applied, I was accepted. If you’re going in as a Junior, I believe they place far more emphasis on your college grades than your high school ones. Make sure you maintain a strong GPA at Dearborn to show that you’ve improved substantially since high school, and you should be ok.
