I am currently preparing to apply to U of Mich and U of D mercy for cycle 2006. Any one out there who can share their stats that gained acceptance for 2005. Congrats and thank you.

(cum 3.0 sci. 2.9 post-bacc 4.0) They state that they consider upward trends in grades, and college attended, but then their average GPA's are quite high. I can't figure out if they're are a "lower GPA friendly" school or not.

I may not be exactly what you are looking for, but I may be able to offer some help. While applying there, they seemed to be real sticklers for meeting all of their standards. However, they were also one of the best at keeping me informed of my status. A lower gpa won't exclude you there, but I wouldn't call it "lower-GPA friendly." The information they sent out about applying to their school was extremely detailed, and leaves little doubt as to how they look at every aspect of your application. Call/write them and they will send you all that info. For example, on the DAT, they want you to have 18's or higher across the board, not just an AA of 18. In my case, I did have an individual score below 18, and they wrote me to see when/if I was taking the DAT again. Since I was already accepted to another school that I liked more by then, I withdrew my application. Your post-bacc 4.0 should help you there, showing an upward trend, especially if its in science courses. If so, it should help your overall, science, and BCP GPA. Good luck.
