Sophomore transfer

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm currently a college freshman planning to transfer to UM for my sophomore year.
I have A's one B and am pushing for straight A's to stay competitive for UM's Transfer Academic Scholarship. I also have 75% Bright Futures.
Financially, my family is upper-middle class on paper, but UM's $65k+ sticker price isn't realistic for us. My father works two jobs, and my parents have financial commitments with another dependent. What are the chances for a successful appeal, and what should I highlight? Also, is there any specific transfer scholarship or on-campus job with tuition assistance?
