So I just got this message:

Dear me:

After an individualized and comprehensive review of your application to the University of Michigan, we regret that we are not able to offer you a place in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts for Fall 2017. I would like to assure you that your application was reviewed very carefully and given every possible consideration. We took into account the strength and quality of your academic achievement and preparation indicated by your secondary school transcript, your scores on standardized tests, and your high school teacher and counselor recommendations. We also considered such aspects as personal characteristics and attributes, as well as your written responses to the short answer and essay questions.

Although we are unable to offer admission at this time, we would be willing to consider a sophomore level transfer to the University, rather than the typical junior level transfer, provided that you attain a solid “3.0” grade point average or higher while enrolled in transferable courses at another college during your first two full semesters of college work (12-15 credit hours each semester). Many of the students currently on this campus entered as transfer students. If your interest in Michigan continues and you would like to consider this option, please review the transfer information on our website at admissions.umich.edu/apply/transfer-students. We also welcome you to contact us at ua-sophomoretransfer@umich.edu for further information regarding your academic planning and for more specific information regarding the decision on your application if you would find it helpful.

Thank you for your interest in the University of Michigan. You have my sincerest wishes for success in your pursuit of higher education.

Sincerely,

Erica L. Sanders
Director

So if I keep a 3.0 I get an automatic admission next year… I’m throughly shook.
