Acceptance Thread

<p>well i gues i am lucky... more time for my SAT scores to get there</p>

<p>The "computer problem" has not been discussed on campus. Of course, why should it surprise me that applicants might have information before administrators? LOL This place can be very funny sometimes.</p>

<p>Kind of a bummer for others who had planned on getting this one done early.</p>

<p>Does everyone get the "Missing Items for U-M Undergraduate Application" email? I got it today even though my app is complete.</p>

<p>"Does everyone get the "Missing Items for U-M Undergraduate Application" email? I got it today even though my app is complete."</p>

<p>On wolverine access, pretty much all my stuff is missing, even though they have it.</p>

<p>That is the reason for all of the delay I have been talking about; they screwed so much stuff up that its taking forever to get it all inputted into the system.</p>

<p>Admissions told me not to worry; everyone is in the same, messed up boat.</p>

<p>I haven't recieved my Wolverine Access number yet, and I applied last Monday. When should I call to sort it out? I don't want to annoy them, but I want to know if I need to resend anything.</p>

<p>I have not noticed any computer problems. All of my stuff has been "received" according to the status page.</p>

<p>JTC007-I would give it 10 days after you submit it before you begin calling the admissions office....that's how long I waited...lol, but I ended up getting it the next day=11th day. Oh, also don't count weekends! heheh</p>

<p>Hm...I have a question. I got my wolverine access number and everything, but no e-mail concerning on whether or not I'm missing anything. I did get an e-mail yesterday about how my application is being processed. Does this mean they have everything? Eh...and my application status page really has nothing. But on the Application Received section, the date underneath says 10/03....does this mean they've had everything as of that date? Gosh I'm so anxious to find out!</p>

<p>Wait a little more, it will update.</p>

<p>I just checked 5 minutes ago and everything is in.</p>

<p>So I guess they got everything worked out.</p>

<p>Don't worry, fellow CCers.</p>

<p>I got a missing stuff email that tells me how to check my status even though everything in complete.</p>

<p>yeah i didnt get a missing stuff email, but today is the first day that it has said complete by everything.</p>

<p>previously they were telling me to fax my reccomendation. i was like no way, that's ridiculous, my teacher sent it freakin online and you should have it.</p>

<p>lo and behold they have it :)</p>

<p>I will probably give them a call to see what's up.</p>

<p>Congratulations. Welcome to the Wolverine family!</p>

<p>Odd, they told me on the phone they haven't even looked at any applications yet and it was extremely unlikely they would make decisions before November. I sent in my app on Sept 25th, didn't get my third email yet so I called them yesterday and they told me they had everything of mine (transcript, act/sat scores, teacher/counselour recs) and gave me my UMID (though of course I can't use it cause I don't have the pw?? and I still haven't officially gotten my email). I haven't gotten any missing information email either :/</p>

<p>Did they say it was unlikely for all apps or just some apps that wouldn't get decisions before november?</p>

<p>They have not started looking at the FAll 2007 applications yet.</p>

<p>They said it was unlikely for ALL apps before November. And they told me they haven't even looked at any fall 2007 applications yet</p>

<p>Perhaps it's early because he's a transfer student??</p>

<p>I applied about three weeks ago, and I've had my Wolverine Access account thing for about a week, and everything is still listed as not received for me. I'm very nervous about the whole thing, I was told by a rep. I saw a few days ago that you would have a decision 12-14 weeks from the time your app is listed as "complete." So that's definitely irritating.</p>

<p>ACT - 32
GPA - 3.91
Class Rank - 9th
EC - Practically nothing until my senior year, then Quiz Bowl, Debate, a job (20 hours a week) and "participation in school band performances."</p>

<p>There are a couple other issues aside from my terrible lack of extra-curriculars, so I don't know what my chances are of getting in. Does anyone have any info on this kind of situation? How important are the things that I've actually done well?</p>
