University of Michigan Ranking

No, the University of Michigan is not an Ivy League school. The University of Michigan is a highly prestigious public university, often considered a "Public Ivy" due to its high academic standards and reputation. 

The University of Michigan is highly competitive, and the average high school GPA of admitted students is around 3.9 on a 4.0 scale. This indicates that successful applicants typically have mostly A grades in their coursework. 

International students must submit the Common Application, a high school transcript (with an official English translation if necessary), a school report, one teacher evaluation, and a counselor recommendation (if possible). They also need to provide proof of English proficiency through tests like TOEFL or IELTS if English is not their first language. Additionally, an application fee of USD 75 is required.

International students on temporary visas are not eligible for U.S. federal financial aid and have limited opportunities for scholarships at the University of Michigan. They must demonstrate proof of sufficient financial resources to cover the full cost of attendance.

The application deadlines can vary depending on the program. For Fall term admissions, international students should ideally submit their applications by 1 February. Early Action applications are generally due by 15 November.

After being admitted, international students will receive an I-20 form (for F-1 visa) or DS-2019 form (for J-1 visa) from the University of Michigan. These documents are necessary to apply for the respective student visas at a U.S. embassy or consulate. Students must maintain full-time enrollment to keep their visa status active.

If you need more time to complete your academic program, you must submit an extension request for your I-20 or DS-2019 at least 30 days before the document's expiration date. This process is done through the M-Passport portal, where you'll need to provide the required documentation.
