<p>Hello,</p>

<p>This is my first time posting here and I think I may have originally put this message on the wrong board, so I thought I'd try again here...</p>

<p>My son who, as an out of state, applied to Michigan in November. We just discovered that, through an unfortunate mix-up, his teacher sent in her rec in the past couple of days, so obviously his app won't be considered until January at earliest, with Feb 1 deadline...</p>

<p>I won't list all statistics here, but a good enough student that he was invited to apply to the honors program at Michigan back in October, before he had even officially applied.</p>

<p>So, college counselor at school has said will call U of M, and both his father and I are past Wolverines. Could I ask for any opinions on his chances here, applying late as an out of state?</p>

<p>Thanks and happy holidays!</p>

<p>If he has two legacies and was invited to apply to the honors program they are probably just waiting to accept him.. honestly.</p>

<p>Ice_Sickle007, thanks so much for your encouraging words--I certainly hope you are right and my holiday wish is that everyone on these boards ends up the school that is right for them...</p>

<p>Thanks again!</p>

<p>Also, keep in mind that many kids who used Michigan as a back up to their ED/SCEA schools may be sending their regrets to Michigan in the next few weeks. Michigan will still have openings for talented students like your son. :)</p>

<p>FWIW, my D's teacher was 1-2 month late in sending recs to all the schools to which my D applied. This didn't create a problem. School seem to be used to getting late recs from teachers.</p>
