<p>well, isnt it obvious that UMich waitlists anyone who it hasnt reviewed yet because we anxiously want a fixed deadline?
what UMich is doing is buying more time with waitlists, chances are, getting waitlisted doesnt mean you are not good enough, it probably just means your file hasnt been read yet</p>
<p>i got waitlisted at UMich,
accepted WUSTL, Columbnia, Yale, JHU
would take UMich over all</p>
<p>^Very true. I am in that same position. I got waitlisted by UMich, but I was accepted at Cornell, JHU, CMU, and Notre Dame. The admissions office is just buying time because so many people were angry that they couldn’t release a decision. I’m sure they will take many students off the waitlist this year and that many qualified applicants were waitlisted.</p>

<p>Please let the admissions office know this! It certainly can’t hurt.</p>
<p>For all the conspiracy theorists out there, they read your file.</p>
<p>DON’T let UMich know that- they’ll probably think you’re like stuck up or something.
And I have a feeling that a lot of applications weren’t read- I don’t think it’s just a conspiracy theory.</p>
