Automated University of Michigan Application Status Checker

<p>perfect. :)</p>

<p>and you’re welcome for the interval idea :P</p>

<p>Haha. Thank you.</p>

<p>I was about to patent it, though. :)</p>

<p>i like the “about this software”</p>

<p>Try setting the interval below 2 minutes.</p>

<p>I added the “about this software” part in case UMichigan stumbles upon this software. :)</p>

<p>@OMGMIT- Wow :open_mouth:
That is pure genius!</p>

<p>Yup, I’m a senior CS major. Are you applying for CS?</p>

<p>Yes. (10 chars)</p>

<p>wow…this is awesome. I’m sure Umich will accept you OMGMIT! Good luck :D</p>

<p>@kipling123
Thank you. </p>

<p>Due to a recently detected possible way to understand that the a decision for your account is about to be announced, I edited the application and added the new feature of checking the financial aid page for an update.</p>

<p>You can download it from below:
[Check</a> UMich.rar](<a href=“File sharing and storage made simple”>http://www.mediafire.com/?rm8nf7etdn6z8sr)</p>

<p>A screenshot from the slightly modified GUI:

<p>you’re are using C++, right? how did you learn how to create all this on your own?</p>

<p>Im a mechE major, but Im slowly starting to become interested in CS. Any tips on where to start? any specific books?</p>

<p>Actually I am using C#, but I also code in C/C++.</p>

<p>The key to learn programming languages on your own is to read and practice a lot. If you are into programming, then it doesn’t even seem like work.</p>

<p>Yeah programming can be fun. But holy **** it can be time consuming…</p>

<p>I sat in front of my computer 11 hours straight to knock out a 151 assignment (except for eating). Didn’t seem like it was that long be geez.</p>

<p>CS is definitely not for me.</p>

<p>Good luck to you though OMGMIT</p>

<p>Thank you MLDWoody.</p>

<p>Now the application is able to PUSH notifications to the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. I am using this feature only in my version. If you want, I can make it customizable and add it to the public version.</p>

<p>Android, question mark</p>

<p>I am not coding the mobile side of the application. I am using a readily available application called PUSHme.to receive the PUSH notifications on the mobile side.</p>

<p>As far as I know, that application is not available for the Android. If you know similiar applications, I can also implement those into the checker.</p>

<p>ihatemonday, if you’re really interested, I’d recommend first learning C from the classic book, [Amazon.com:</a> C Programming Language (2nd Edition) (0076092003106): Brian W. Kernighan, Dennis M. Ritchie: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Language-2nd-Brian-Kernighan/dp/0131103628/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1300908517&sr=8-1]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Language-2nd-Brian-Kernighan/dp/0131103628/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1300908517&sr=8-1)</p>

<p>It’s a very concise, simple book. After that you could move on to C++, but it’s truly a huge language in comparison, so I think it’s easier to learn C first. There are, of course, many benefits of using C over C++, but that’s both personal preference and application-specific. I actually learned C++ first (EECS 280, my first programming class at UMich).</p>

<p>If you’re not that interested in this stuff, then Python is a very easy language to pick up (still very useful, too).</p>

<p>The new version can send notifications to iOS devices and Blackberry devices (of course any device with PUSH email capability will suffice)</p>

<p>If WA is down, you will be notified via a PUSH notification after 8 consecutive trials failing to check your status.</p>

<p>Let me know if you are willing to use the new features and I will alter these features a little to make the new version public. Otherwise, nothing has changed since the last version. :)</p>

<p>definitely interested here :)</p>

<p>As am I. To be honest, I don’t expect a decision until around the 15th, but it never hurts to make sure, does it?</p>

<p>Just curious, what does it check exactly? Does it check if a decision link exists (and assuming it does, what the link is)? Is that how it knows?</p>
