In order to get into the College of Liberal Arts, the general application, good ACT scores (32) and a 4.0 high school transcript got me in less than a week. I then applied for admission to the Carlson School of Management, the most competitive freshman admitting program at the University and one of the most competitive in the state. This process did not require any additional material, but the response time was closer to three weeks, on the earlier end of most admission decisions. However, I tried exceptionally hard in high school and completed eight AP courses, which all thankfully transferred to the U as well. But if you are attempting to gain entrance to Carlson, IT or some of the Honors programs as a freshman, your credentials would have to be above average, not to mention the University's policy of increasing admissions difficulty gradually for the coming years.

To get in, I applied using the online form, this worked out really well, and I was accepted within a few weeks of applying. I'd recommend applying early, as spots fill up rather quickly. Also, in efforts to boost academic standards, it is now required you declare an intended major so you can be placed into the appropriate college within the University upon admission.

If you didn't do well in high school, just go to college at a less exclusive institution and do well to transfer.
Biology
I had a 3.4 GPA and a 29 ACT, lots of extracurriculars, from Wisconsin, and was put on an extended waitlist before I was finally accepted. Based mostly of GPA and ACT, and don't really take into consideration any other things.

Complete the application.
Computer Science
ACT > 21
not too bad looking hs transcript.
ACT > 28 if you are out of state and want to be considered for scholarship.
Electrical Engineering
Sorry I cannot help you there. Back in my day you just sent in some transcripts and they let you in. I reccommend you do well in high school or community college and not completely bomb the ACT. And to this day, I don't think you need to have won the Intel Science Talent Search to gain admission.
Fine Arts - Painting/Sculpture/Photography/etc
Have a pulse, a Highschool degree or GED, a wallet of cash, and they'll let you in.
Journalism
It's easy to get in to the U of M - just fill out your application and go. The journalism program is more competetive, but a few hours on a thoughtful essay did the trick for me.
