<p>I bet $100 he is URM.</p>

<p>whats urm?????????????????????????????</p>

<p>under-represented minority</p>

<p>While it is rare that someone with that low of a GPA gets in, think about it...GPA is not by any means equal at all schools. I go to a decent school, but I know schools where my 3.8 GPA would only be worth a 3.5, and other places where it would be worth a 4.0+. I'm sure a school as competitive as Michigan would look at this. Who knows if this kid went to some crazy magnet school or a urban school/school in the middle of nowhere?</p>

<p>I still think that they cannot possibly look that much into it; it's most likely URM.</p>

<p>No change in my status - all completed 11/7. This can't be good .... I thought I had a decent shot at making it. </p>

<p>UM GPA : 3.85, ACT : 33, OOS, decent ECs and essay.</p>

<p>Maybe I am being hurt by being an OOS from CA ? (since there are probably a lot of folks from here)</p>

<p>ACCEPTED
UMich GPA: 4.0
SAT: 2330
OOS</p>

<p>App complete by 11/7</p>

<p>mearcat1....all my stuff was in by 11/4 and i havent heard yet either</p>

<p>So, I got the fourth email 13 days ago, even though I'd sent my app in 10/31 (and it was probably complete by then as I'd sent everything else already). It said to wait 2 weeks, so I have been waiting...but I now see people with apps completed 11/7 have their decisions.</p>

<p>Should I wait, or should I go check?</p>

<p>go check, if its up good for you, if not keep waiting</p>

<p>i got in with</p>
