The University of Michigan-Flint, located in Flint, Michigan, USA, is one of three campuses in the University of Michigan system. It was established in 1956.
UM-Flint started in 1956 as Flint College, a two-year senior college located on the land now occupied by Mott Community College. It offered baccalaureate degree programs in the liberal arts and sciences, and in the professional fields of education and business administration. The school admitted its first freshman class in 1964, making it the first four-year University of Michigan program offered outside of Ann Arbor.
Following accreditation of the Flint College by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools in 1970, the Board of Regents officially changed the name of the institution to the University of Michigan-Flint in 1971. That same year, U of M President Robben Fleming appointed the first Chancellor of the University of Michigan-Flint, William E. Moran. The university built its first downtown building in the late 70s.
In the late 1980s and 1990s, the university began an expansion to offer a larger amount of educational opportunities. In 1988, the William R. Murchie science building was constructed. UM-Flint acquired the University Pavilion (formerly Waterstreet Pavilion) from the City of Flint in 1991. Many administrative and student services offices moved from locations in French Hall and the University Center to the upper level of the Pavilion, while the bookstore relocated to the lower level. In 1994, thanks to generous donations, the Frances Willson Thompson library was opened. In 1997, the university acquired 25 acres north of the Flint River where the William S. White building was built in 2002. In 2007, a 310 bed on-campus residence hall proposal was passed with groundbreaking later in the year. The residence hall will open in August 2008. UM-Flint plans to have five more dormatories on campus in the future.

i go to U of M dearborn and they will only take 63 of your credits. Also take into consideration that some of your classes will transfer for less amount of credits. I went to schoolcraft and some of the classes i took there were 4 or 5 credits and only transfer as 3 and 4.
As far as GPA i have no idea. I know people that got into Dearborn with a 3.3 but i don't know about flint
