DD and I are attending Campus Day tomorrow and will be attending the Honors Program presentation. Do you think they will have a decision on Honors Program acceptance by tomorrow? I know the wriiten decision date is by March 19.
@umsigmadom This is presumably overtaken by events, but I thought I’d reply in case others had questions. D2 applied for honors on December 21st, well ahead of the January 14th deadline. They said they’d reply by midnight on February 5th, and she in fact received her acceptance to Honors on February 5th.
Also last year my son received his acceptance on the exact date they predicted.
@umsigmadom We are waiting on the 19th date as well for our son. Went to Campus Day on Presidents Day (and froze). The Honors presentation impressed us. An acceptance will likely swing things for my son…however there are also living learning communities on campus that are also very appealing (and you can join these even if you also get into and opt for honors…but you dorm with the learning community). These communities are another way a big school like UM can feel smaller/more personal. The LLCs have tables around the room you start the morning in. Let your student explore these (we went one way, our son went the other in terms of sides of room…which gave him the opportunity to explore and ask questions without parental involvement…but gives you the opportunity to independently visit the tables and draw your own conclusions. :))
@Hobothecat Thanks!
Did anyone hear back yet??
Nope.
Not yet!
Same here!
admitted to honors, just got the email
@chocolate6972 a day or two before the deadline
@hagzzz when did u submit your honors app?
Honors decisions are up! D is in! Woot!
Congrats! DD was deferred. Rats!
@umsigmadom , same here…deferral! Makes the decision unfortunately that much more difficult…I’m not sure that UM gets that their penchant for deferring students creates a lot more anxiety and stress than an outright no!
Last round Honors Program decisions are out!! I got my email about 45 minutes ago.
Congratulations, @96blue !! My DD is still waiting for her decision. I hope and pray she gets in! Congrats again!
Thanks! I had already made my enrollment deposit but this makes it even better. I admit I was a little stressed today.
@umsigmadom fingers crossed for your D!
Thanks!
