<p>Considering the admission acceptance deadline for most colleges is May 1st, shouldn't the Michigan admission committee notify us really soon about our decisions...</p>
<p>nope, but considering your name's ILLINI fan, you dont deserve to go to ross :-p</p>
<p>YES I AM STILL WAITING...I really want to find out my decision as it is getting really late. I applied early december and was accepted LSA early March. What is everyone else's situation? Do you think Ross could be waiting to see wat kind of yield they are going to have?</p>
<p>Punky, you may be right about waiting on yield. Last year, it seems like a few additional offers were made in late April.</p>
<p>I'm waiting too! but i was only accepted into lsa like a week ago...even tho i sent my app in early-mid december as well. oh well.....i really hope they do tell us before the may 1st deadline b/c that can affect a lot :T</p>
<p>do you guys think that they've already sent out all the intended acceptances to preferred admit or are there still spots open? i'm a little worried that i/we might have to depend on a yield rate to get in. i spoke to one of the officers at the ross office of admission and he said that there were still spots open. i'm not sure if he was being diplomatic or if he even had grounds to base what he said to me. what do you guys think?</p>
<p>If he said there were stills spots open, then they were. The open question, unless he addressed it, is whether the spots were open until yield is determined.</p>
<p>any updates people...?</p>
<p>how are there spots still open when 2300 people applied and only 100 got in?</p>
<p>To achieve a target of 100 pre-admits, Ross will have to extend more than 100 offers because not everyone will accept a spot. So, let's say 150 students were offered admission and Ross expected a yield (acceptances) of about 2/3 (or 100)... however, only 85 students accepted. Then, Ross may make an additional, say, 25 offers with the hopes of getting another 15 pre-admits to meet its goal of 100 pre-admits (85 first round and 15 second round).</p>
<p>I made these numbers up, but hopefully the example shows how additional spots could be open.</p>
<p>But suppose the majority of the 150 students , wait till just a few days before May 1st to make their decison. And Ross would have to send out their decisons well before May 1st. And if they had to wait the majority of this 150 , then they couldnt give additional offers because it would be to close to the deadline.</p>
<p>i applied back in november, got my LSA decision in February and no word from Ross yet</p>
<p>You know what, the Michigan/Ross Ad-Com simply needs to notify applicants about their decisions. We've waited several months and haven't received any type of news. </p>
<p>This is quite ridiculous, April 23rd, 1 week away from deadline. Sending out waitlist offers or hell even rejections would clear things up for college applicants. </p>
<p>That is all (just had to say it)</p>
<p>Yeah , justified. Why dont you call the admissions office and find out whats going on.</p>
<p>so i submitted my Michigan app on the last days of December, but it wasn't processed by Michigan till January 16th. And since they didn't process it before January 5th, I missed the deadline. Isn't that just great????</p>
<p>I submitted my application on Jan 5th itself! And I got a decision from Ross. Denied :p , but perhaps because of the international status</p>
<p>oh maybe that is why I havent heard back yet lol. Michigan didnt accept my fee-waiver and didnt let me know till right before winter break. i guess by the time they got my application fee the deadline for ross passed. bummer.</p>
<p>i still haven't heard from ross yet. it's "under review". i really hope i hear before may 1st. this is a little ridiculous.</p>
<p>UM uses rolling admissions. They start processing back in Nov/Dec, and then continue processing. The Ross deadline was Jan 5 so we will read every application received by UM by that date. ROSS IS STILL RECEIVING APPLICATIONS FROM CENTRAL UM ADMISSIONS THAT WERE RECEIVED BEFORE JANUARY 5. We at Ross can't read them until we receive this. I know this is not a good situation for anyone. We have been pressing central admissions for a long time but they have 25000 applications to read. (And, don't forget, Proposal 2 came into effect in mid-December and admissions had to change their entire reading and evaluation process mid-stream.) I know this doesn't help you, but that's the situation. We have a couple hundred decisions that Ross is sending out Mon/Tues (I hope on Monday). We will send out all of the decisions that we can at that time. But that doesn't mean that there aren't still applications left to be read. (I don't know; but there won't be many.) We're doing the best we can.</p>
<p>Pretty good description that fairly well describes how this whole process works. It's a guessing game where we have to play with probabilities and historical situations that don't quite apply and individual situations that have little to do with overall trends.</p>
