<p>some decisions have been sent out</p>
<p>I got mine on Monday.</p>
<p>I just got an acceptance. OOS, application completed end of October.</p>
<p>Do any of you who have been accepted mind sharing your stats?</p>
<p>i got accepted to carlson and invited to the honors program
i think what helped me the most was coming from a small school where i ranked high (1 out of 82) and i took 5 APs and my school only offers 1</p>
<p>Test Scores:
ACT - 32 (high math/science, low reading/english)
SAT II - Math II: 800 Chem: 780 (not sure if these were even considered though)
APs: All 5s on Bio, Calc BC, Macroecon, Microecon, and Envi Sci
GPA: 4.0 UW, school doesn’t weight
ECs: main ones are captain of basketball team (3 time letterwinner), founder and captain of math team and president of chess club</p>
<p>Do honors acceptances always come with the main letter or can they arrive later?</p>
<p>Lockn: </p>
<p>My son was admitted to the Honors Program according to the online tracker, However we just received the acceptance letter to U of M the past weekend, but the honors acceptance letter was not in it. </p>
<p>I hope this helps…</p>
<p>^^ that’s the same thing that i experienced last week</p>
<p>my online tracker says i was accepted, but not necessarily to honors college. i thought i was a strong candidate; would i necessarily be notified on my tracker?</p>
<p>thanks for any info!</p>
<p>ingette - I believe last year some people were notified of honors immediately upon acceptance and others later in the spring. Maybe there is a threshhold cutoff where you are automatically admitted to honors upon acceptance and then they accept others based on who subsequently enrolls at the U? Just speculating.</p>
<p>University Honors Program acceptances can most definitely arrive at different times from offers of admission. I know of many local examples in the last two years. Getting into the Honors Program does depend in part on who eventually enrolls in the next incoming class. </p>
<p>Now here’s my story of the day. I received to my personal email address an email from the admissions office for parents of National Merit semifinalists. I replied to that saying that I and my wife are both alumni, so of course we were happy to encourage our son to apply to our alma mater. As I was writing that letter, I was checking just how many recruiting communications my son has received to his email account, and I found out that AFTER that email was sent (my son also received a copy), the admissions office sent an email to him reminding him to apply. So in my reply to the admissions office, thanking them for the National Merit recruiting email, I asked if it was possible that not all file information in their office was in the same place. It seems to me that the office should already know that he has applied, and not bother reminding him to apply more than a month (almost two months) after he already did. Maybe this heads-up will result in someone making a decision, admit or deny, sometime soon, so that none of us will be in suspense anymore. </p>
<p>Good luck to all of you waiting for news. Maybe not hearing yet is just a sign of office procedure inefficiency, nothing more.</p>
<p>I just got the same emails, and they already admitted me.</p>
<p>@lockn: same here. i hope they don’t keep sending these until may 1. :/</p>

<p>Well said. At the dinner tonight, my wife, my son and I just talked about this, and it is funny for us to continue receiving emails/mails reminding my son to apply to schools which have already admitted him. </p>
<p>Can not schools cross check before sending out these sorts of emails/mails :-)? </p>
<p>The other funny emails from some schools started with “… thanks for your interest in xxx school…”, well we do not know where they got our information from and for most of them we may not be that interested.</p>
