I am a second year undergraduate student at Wayne State University, and am terribly unhappy with said setting; I don't feel very "at home," as it were. I hope to transfer to the University of Michigan, though my second choice is Michigan State. I am a good student, though due to personal circumstances, I was absent for much of my second semester. I was still able to pull off >3.0, but this is far below my prior average of 3.6. I am absolutely dedicating myself to receiving a 4.0 this semester, and feel as though it is within my capacity to do so. However, I was wondering if, given my numbers, I might be competitive for U of M transfer admission. If not, what might I do to bolster my application and make myself competitive?
My numbers are as follows:
Course (number of credits): grade.
Semester 1:
Logic I (3): A
Intermediate Writing (4): A
Ethics (3): B
Hebrew (4): B
semester 2:
17th&18th century philosophy (3): A
Macroeconomics (4): A-
University Band (1): A-
Physics Lab (1): B
Metaphysics (3): B-
Advanced Ethics (4): B-
Physics (3): C+
Adv. logic (3): WF
Spring: Calculus I (4): C+
Semester 3:
Calculus II (4) [A]
Calc-based Physics (4) [A]
Calc-based Phy. Lab (1) [A]
Linear Algebra (3) [A]
Epistemology (3) [A]
German I (4) [A]
Greek Mythology (3) [A]
Number theory (AUDIT) N/A
Calculus III (AUDIT) N/A
I have also presented papers at academic research conferences, been active in music, participated in debate, do the Putnam math competition, chaired a student political organization, work part time etc., etc...
I am a philosophy/math double major and am currently enrolled in 22 credit hours of coursework (coursework + audited coursework = 27 credits). I will end up having 51 credits after this term.
My recalculated U of M GPA (WF=F) will be a 3.3, but my institutional GPA will be a 3.5.
.... So, competitive, or otherwise...? Thanks!
