Admission to the College of Engineering is based on the strength of an applicant's academic preparation to pursue an engineering degree. The admissions requirements are designed to assure that each student that is accepted has the intellectual capacity combined with the necessary interest and motivation to be successful.

The application review focuses on:

• The strength of an applicant's college preparatory background, including the degree of difficulty of courses selected (with special emphasis on mathematics and science)
• The record of academic achievement
• Special or unique accomplishments
• ACT with writing or SAT scores
• TOEFL, MELAB, or IELTS results (for international students)

Decisions are made on an individual basis. No special class rank, grade point average, test score or other qualification by itself will assure admission.

Freshmen applications are reviewed by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Here is a link to more information: http://admissions.umich.edu/prospective/prospectivefreshmen/appreview.php
