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 2023. 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 if submitted, 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 like to extend to you an opportunity to consider our UM-Dearborn or UM-Flint campus with a conditional guaranteed transfer to the UM-Ann Arbor campus at the junior level. This transfer guarantee is only offered to select students who are admitted and enroll at UM-Dearborn or UM-Flint and complete 55+ transferable credits with a 3.5 or higher GPA. This transfer guarantee would permit you entry to the UM-Ann Arbor College of Literature, Science, and the Arts to complete your undergraduate degree. Students interested in transferring into another school or college would not have a guaranteed path and instead would follow our [traditional transfer process].

Many of the students currently on the UM-Ann Arbor campus entered as transfer students. Starting your educational career at UM-Dearborn or UM-Flint will provide you with the many benefits of becoming a Michigan Wolverine, while creating a pathway for you to transfer and complete your degree at UM-Ann Arbor, if you choose. Your desire to join the Michigan family can be a reality.
