Do I go to the early Campus Day in March or wait until April?

So I just got into the Honors program at Mich and I got an invitation to go to the campus day in march which I’m assuming is only for the early acceptances. Is it any different than the campus days in April for the regular decision acceptances or can I just go then. I wanted to try to go during April so the weather would be nicer.

I don’t think there is campus day in April. You can still come for a campus visit though.

If I don’t go to a campus day and just a visit and I missing out on much or does it not really matter?

The main difference would be the financial aid session if you want to attend and ask questions. It also mentions a little bit about the housing application and orientation in the Campus Day.

Ok thanks so much!

There are plenty of Campus Days in April. It has an entirely different vibe than a standard campus visit. It was like a big warm “welcome to the family” hug :)The honors portion is just a part of the overall agenda - not its own unique campus day series. So, since they are all the same, go to whichever you want. I loved campus day.

Orientation, on the other hand, is more time sensitive. You register for classes at orientation, so earlier sessions have less likelihood of filling up the classes/times you prefer.

Thanks so much! I was so confused because I was sure there would be campus days later on and not only in march. Thank goodness I don’t have to go in March! Definitely planning an April visit now!

There are no Campus Days past March 28 listed online right now on the scheduling web page. However, I have called the admissions office twice asking about dates in April, and have been told there will be some, but no one knows when they will be available online to register for. They said just keep checking the web page. We weren’t able to schedule any of our preferred days in March because they were already full. So I will be checking the web site daily because we want to go that first week of April.

I have called and been told that as well so I will keep waiting.

I was told by email today that the April registration dates are not currently open but they will be by March 12th or some time before. The April dates are all listed though. I was trying to register for the College of Engineering session on April 2nd.

Actually, I just checked again and the April dates are now open for registration for COE anyway.
