<p>Does anybody know what timeframe the first batch of decisions are released?</p>
<p>Some reported that October 31st was the first batch for last year , yet I've heard from numerous people who had their decisions made in the middle of October.</p>
<p>I'm curious....</p>
<p>Good question…I’ve heard both as well.</p>
<p>October 31st was the first batch I think, at least according to people on this site.</p>
<p>Does anyone know when they release batches of decisions? Every week, every other week, every Friday, etc?</p>
<p>-Thanks</p>
<p>D received her decision last year on October 31st. I believe her application was complete on October 7th. I think if you search the board you’ll see that the time between release of decisions will vary.</p>
<p>So my entire App is nearly complete (checked wolverine access and only thing missing is teacher rec). If I can get my lazy teacher to do his rec and get it in soon, I could get my decision by Oct. 31? Shweet.</p>
<p>I would guess you wouldn’t make it into the first batch of decisions but I suppose it’s possible. They made my decision within two weeks.</p>
<p>Sorry, this question is a little off topic but…if I live 1.5 hours away from AA, should I just mail it to them regularly, or would it be worth it to mail it super express overnight delivery (whatever it’s called). If I mailed it regularly, would it just get there in like 1-2 days anyways?</p>
<p>I have no idea how the USPS works at all lol =[ thanks</p>
<p>Shouldn’t make a difference. You’ll be fine.</p>
<p>So no one has heard of people receiving their decisions MID October?</p>
<p>Nope. I have for MSU, but not U of M.</p>
<p>If your teacher gets that rec in asap it is possible that you could have a decision at the end of the month. Keep in mind that the decision could be a deferral. From what I have read here, the first admissions release is generally for students who are clear-cut admits- no question. D’s teacher recommendation was the last item received.</p>
<p>^ I agree, but I also think it depends on where you live and how many people have applied from your area. I think 31st admissions are mostly for clear cut admits, but there are other factors too, so don’t lose hope if your stats aren’t godly.</p>
<p>I had a friend get accepted (last year). She had good stats, but wasn’t anything super good, just average for U of M. 3.8ish with the most rigorous schedule she could, with 31 ACT.</p>
<p>^
Absolutely there are factors other than stats. No question about that.</p>
