Acceptance Thread

<p>I'd say no....it is still relatively early, and with their apparent occupied state, they will probably need some more time.</p>

<p>cuz u mich has a better reputation... and i want to go for business</p>

<p>if it is posted today, what time do u think it will happen?</p>

<p>This link should answer some questions about what's cooking at the admissions office:

<p>Early next week? Does that mean the whole friday admission thing is out of whack?</p>

<p>Wow, thank you so much for the article!
Yay for...knowing what's going on.
=)</p>

<p>Ugh...only a couple more days...I was REALLY REALLY hoping it would be today though.</p>

<p>Hearing that the 1st batch of decisions will be coming out soon, I have a question. Are rejection letters sent out too? Or do they wait until a certain date to do so.</p>

<p>And they said early next week, which means decisions are probably going to be made a little more frequently than fridays!</p>

<p>Check the mail like rabid weasels!</p>

<p>Generally, a very, very small number of people are rejected upon first review. You have to have very low SAT/GPA to get rejected without a deferral. If you are borderline you will most likely get deferred.</p>

<p>I"M SCARED :*(. Though I really do hope I'm in the first batch cause if I get in, then I will probably drop all the college apps I'm working on now cause UMich is PROBABLY my first choice :P</p>

<p>I know what you mean about being scared zkevin. </p>

<p>I'm a returning student and I've got 3 kids so I'm hoping to avoid moving OOS, and UofM is the only Uni in the state that has such a great range of psychology courses and a comparative lit program (the two things I want to double major in). I've got a 4.0 at a community college but my courses haven't been over the top rigorous (mostly humanities, social science, art and language courses) and I never took SAT's or ACT's. If I can't get in I'm not sure what my next step will be..... I mean what can a transfer student do beyond a 4.0 :-p If I don't get in I'll probably have to accept a much lower program elsewhere. I'm checking compulsively, but quite frankly looking at the stats of all these young people applying I'm not holding out much hope.</p>

<p>They said that they'll be where they were at this time last year... so maybe we can use some comparison, but any ideas what the first batch will include? I applied late-early. September 21st...</p>

<p>are we thinking either Monday or Tuesday?</p>

<p>My friend last year with a 3.5 and 32 ACT applied late sept, was accepted late oct. His app was complete about mid-oct. And he was in the 2nd wave of acceptances.</p>

<p>zkevin: they reveiw after the app is complete. So applying late sept. wont help unless it was complete.</p>

<p>Would I still be in the first batch of decision if I submitted my application on October 20th???:)</p>

<p>well if it was complete by that date i would suppose so.</p>

<p>Well, everything was into their office by that time so I would assume so, but I have yet to receive my UMID.</p>

<p>Well, I think that if you got a UMID then you will be in the 1st batch. This sense becuase they article said early next week.</p>
