Not as difficult as UM- Ann Arbor, plus you still get to say you go to U of M.

My students who have attended/are attending now actually praise the education highly. The professors are chosen on the same standards that A-Squared professors are, so you get the same quality education at a lower price.

If your grades are borderline, then I would recommend a Personal Statement about yourself to make the admissions people see more of a person than a set of statistics (Ann Arbor requires some in-depth essays, Dearborn does not).

A person statement is made up of three things in a one-page sigle-spaced essay:

First, begin with a personal narrative (a short biographical story) that tells them something about you...a learning experience, a trip you took, or some other tale that lets them know about you without actually TELLING them.

Second, list a goal or two (not what you want to do as a job, but what you want to DO that a job will help you with). Examples would be to work with kids, to travel, to be financially secure, to work with computers, to have a large family, to experiment with things, to build things...

Finally end with how the university will train you to gain a career that will help you achieve those goals (that goal).

Good Luck!
