What should I be doing in high school to prepare to apply to U-M?
We've created an entire Preparing for College guide that will help you plan year-by-year how to become a truly competitive applicant.
Ideally, students who plan to enter U-M will have completed five units (full-year courses) during each of the four years of high school. Students should elect Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, honors, enriched, and accelerated high school courses when appropriate and available.
Incoming first-year students are required to have completed four years of English with at least two rigorous writing courses, three to four years of mathematics, three to four years of science with at least two laboratory science courses, three years of social science or history, and two years of the same world language. University of Michigan schools and colleges may also require additional coursework; please see our College Preparation webpage for further information.
