Congrats to everyone who got in! If youâre like me and got rejected/waitlisted, perhaps you are destined to be somewhere else. I know it feels disappointing, but just think of the wonderful opportunities that could be waiting for you at your other options. Itâs been really nice being part of this forum during the wait to get a decision. Good luck everyone! The future awaits you. 
Did anyone receive notification for the Ross preferred program? If applying for sports management, do you receive acceptance to Kinesiology and then another acceptance for Ross or is it just Ross admission today or April 17th?
For the people accepted, have you gotten an email, or do you know when we will?

SMH - I really, really have no idea what to tell my next two kids what they need to do to get into any of these schools anymore⊠so disappointingâŠ
@sscully25 No email &no idea when weâll get it
@kdkdkdkdkd Iâm sorry youâre having such a bad time. I agree that this process can be like a joke, it seems like your kid has it all going right. I donât know for sure, but Iâd suggest your other kids give great emphasis to essays? Not saying your first child didnât, but one really, really good essay that inspires the reader could get you in most places!
A lot of these schools are very sensitive to the âAttitudeâ of the paper, perceived or factual. Iâve seen Youtube videos of UM students looking at their admissions file and reading comments about how one essay of theirs made them seem âconceitedâ or âinsensitive.â The guy barely got in. This process sucks, but it is what it is.
Thanks for the advice and certainly will continue to focus on essays with my other kids. However, I will add that we reviewed and revised his essays very carefully, and my sonâs attitude has NEVER been anything but humble, thoughtful and honest - and that was definitely reflected in his essays.
I cannot see how, with his stats, it would just be his essays that landed him in the wrong pile. He has worked extremely hard his entire HS career and while the Waitlists from Cornell and a small competitive school like CMU were a little more understandable - I just donât really, really donât understand him being WL at Michigan.
Trust me - I know âlife isnât fairâ - but this is a very tough pill to swallowâŠ

@kdkdkdkdkd I understand what youâre feeling. It seems like decisions UMich this year were just confusing. I spent my most time on my UMich application because I thought I had a good chance at Ross compared to NYU Stern or UPenn Wharton. It didnât work out but other colleges did. Hopefully your son will be happy wherever he ends up. Admissions is definitely not a reflection of his capabilities.
@tchit87 Sounds like we have had similar experience. Agree this whole process is incredibly confusing and really frustrating. My son also spent most of his time on Michigan as well as he thought he had a really great shot with his resume/stats.
What I have learned in my first pass at this, beyond any doubt, is that the overall college admissions process is simply broken. It is truly maddeningâŠ
There seems to be very little that you can predict, and when your child spends the amount of time and energy (like many others on this thread have) for so many years, the level of uncertainty that remains in this process borders on insanity. After applying EA months ago - to be waitlisted now and drag this out for another two or more months is really just asking too much, especially with the state of the world today.
does anyone know if waitlisted people should still send in a letter of continued interest? the website says they wonât take any additional documentation, but idk if that counts for loci as well?
Was waitlisted for the nursing school.
Does anyone have any idea about being waitlisted for the nursing school? Is the chance different compared to LSA or COE?
I was accepted but I have no idea where to find my Financial Aid info⊠any help?
My OOS son was waitlisted for LSA Residential College. 1420 SAT 3.7 GPA UW. He likes Michigan, but I think will move to accept one of his other admission offers, most likely UC Berkeley.
@katebee1 Not sure if this answers your question, but my daughterâs classmate (2018) was accepted off the waitlist for nursing in late May.
