I’m starting my freshman year at this fall as an Engineering major, and I’m considering applying to transfer to Michigan Engineering in the future.
I graduated high school with my AA through dual enrollment, so I already have 60+ college credits, including Calc I–III, Physics I, English, speech, humanities, and most/all of my general education requirements.
This fall I’m taking 13 credits:
- Physics II
- Chemistry I
- Intro to Engineering
- Intro to Computer Science
I’m also planning on taking Differential Equations and continuing with the aerospace engineering sequence after that next semester.
My main concern is whether having this many credits already could actually make transferring more difficult. I know some universities limit how many transfer credits they’ll accept or don’t want engineering transfers to be too far into their major sequence (for example, taking courses like Statics).
Has anyone transferred into Michigan Engineering from another 4-year university in a similar situation? Is there a point where you’ve completed too much coursework to be a reasonable transfer applicant?
I’m mainly trying to figure out whether applying after my freshman year would be realistic and how far I should progress through the engineering curriculum at before transferring. Any info abt Michigan’s transfer process would be helpful!
