this wait is killing me

My app is still not marked as complete. I’m applying to LSA. I don’t know why and I’m so worried

Where does it say whether our application is marked as complete? I’ve been checking Wolverine Access, and I haven’t seen anywhere that they’re missing anything, but I also don’t see anywhere that it’s complete…

Call or online chat

@HolyOO @matthewjohnlim Where are we supposed to be checking as to whether our application is marked complete or not? I didn’t read any instructions stating or regarding that. Also, I have nothing “Other Required Application Materials”, is it possible I still have something missing?

I inquired about my application via online chat today, and I was told LSA applicants have a 4-6 week wait ahead…

It’s 4-6 weeks after your application is marked as complete

@ryanblaire thats what I thought, however, the online chat staff gave me a rather ambiguous answer. I asked if my application was marked complete, they said yes, and I asked about the wait I could expect, and they said about 4-6 weeks. I then asked if that is from the day my application was marked complete or from today, and they said they couldnt say right now.

I got in about a week ago for LSA. My application was probably complete a few weeks before I got accepted. I actually emailed them that day and asked how long it would be, and they said approximately four weeks, but then gave me an answer that day. Some LSA applicants have already gotten in, so the wait will not definitely be 4-6 more weeks.

@thenarddog1 Okay, thanks for the information. They told me something similar when I chatted with them a few weeks ago (I didn’t ask whether my application was complete, however), but I never knew there was some invisible status (to the person applying) on whether the application was marked complete or not.

Just in case anyone is wondering, when I chatted with them online a couple days ago, they said that while they have received everything for my application, they were still processing my materials. I submitted my application to LSA on January 31st (out of state), so that may serve as a reference point for where they are in processing everything.

Has anyone on this thread applied to the college of engineering? My application was complete 2/1/2016 but it’s been almost 2 months now. Is anyone else still waiting for a decision from CoE/ knows when decisions will be out?

@sunny16 My S also applied to COE and hasn’t heard anything yet. I had thought it would take 4-6 weeks for a decision but it’s been longer than that now.

Accepted to LSA as of today!
High school GPA: 3.8
College GPA: 3.9 with about 70 credits.
Applied Feb 1st.

@sunny16 I was told by the undergraduate support that the CoE applications take around 8 weeks after being marked complete.

Stats:

Accepted to LSA
High school GPA: approximately a 2.8
College GPA: 3.9 from school just outside top 50
SAT: 2300
URM: No
Hooks: None
Applied February 1st

@CudleWudles Do you know when your application was marked complete?

@Donner105 I’m not sure when it was marked complete, but I submitted my application on February 1st. I emailed them about two weeks ago and they said that I would have a decision within four weeks. Then I had a decision emailed to me two hours after that.

@CudleWudles Kk, thank you!
