<p>sydney_bristow87, how did she sent her application in June? I thought the deadline was Feb.?</p>
<p>Smariomaster, it looks like I've gotta get it done during the Thanksgiving break. I've got 3 tests on Tuesday and 1 test on Wednesday!</p>
<p>Happy Thanksgiving... that'll be fun.
I'm not sure how that happened... the only thing I can think of is that they still had room, or she's like, related to the dean or something. I realized that the U of M admissions office is never too sure of anything. Call them two times, ask them the same question, and you'll get two entirely different answers.</p>
<p>Your friend couldn't have sent in the app. in June (unless you're talking a REALLY long time ago). If Michigan still had room at that time, they would have resorted to using the waitlist, which they apparently have not gone to in years. Plus, the sophomore class as well as my own had too many people accept the offer of enrollment. They don't want any more people on this campus since there's no place left to house all of them. If she was related to someone important here, I'm sure that that person would have said something when the February deadline was approaching. I think you may have misheard something.</p>
<p>The deadline is not February 15, it's February 1.</p>
<p>It's possible that in some prior year, they left admissions open through June. They can do that; it's their perogative (but very unusual--June is AFTER the deposit deadline of May 1 observed nationwide). However, I think it's very foolhardy to assume they'll have that kind of goodwill in any given year, and I certainly wouldn't count on it this year. You can get burned assuming that an exception made for someone else, in some other year, means you can expect the same.</p>
<p>Also, if you don't apply until that late, you won't be able to do the other things until late (financial aid, housing) and you could be screwed. Whoever told you June was no big deal was out of her mind.</p>
<p>I definitely do not plan on submitting it by June.</p>
<p>I will, however, definitely send it by Thanksgiving break. This isn't terrible is it?</p>
<p>You should be fine, 3/4 of my senior class who is applying to michigan hasn't sent it yet (the fact that our senior class is only six people, and only four are applying to ann arbor might make that statistic a little less... shocking, isn't quite the word, but you get the idea) ... and U of M is literally across the street from us... so you're fine.</p>
<p>I dunno, I could be wrong about the June thing, that's what I heard, but you never know.</p>
<p>No offense sydney_bristow87, but just because you're so close to the school does not guarantee you an acceptance. You actually have to have the grades in order to get accepted here. The longer you wait to apply, the slimmer your chances become no matter who you are or where you live.</p>
<p>PA Asian male (right outside of Philly)</p>
<p>GPA: 4.35 out of 4.6 (weighted)
Rank: 22 out of 650 (top 5%)
*Not sure of my unweighted GPA, but I got two B's in English and History in 11th grade</p>
<p>EC's: 1 varsity sport and school clubs</p>
<p>SAT I:
650 CR

710 W</p>
<p>SAT II:
760 Chem
710 Math 2 (but they won't see this since it's from Nov.)</p>
<p>I posted this up again to get any more opinions on my chances. I figure I'm near the middle for out-of-state applicants, but what would my realistic chances be? I sent my SAT scores about 1.5 weeks ago (since they don't accept rushed scores), so it should be there by early to mid December. Assuming that they'll evaluate me at that time, what are my chances, realistically? Thanks</p>
<p>Perhaps I didn't make myself clear. In no way was I implying that just because I live near U of M, I'd get in. (Actually, being in-state does help, but you're right in that if my grades were crap, yeah, I wouldn't get in. My grades are pretty good, but who knows? Maybe they're not good enough.) I was agreeing with the second post in this thread. Go back, read it, and you'll see what I mean. I wasn't saying that anyone would or wouldn't get accepted, I was saying that it was okay to send in the application this late.</p>
<p>This was declared unconstitutional (because of the affirmative action part), but it should give you at least a vague idea of what they look for. <a href="http://www.michiganreview.com/adminguide.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.michiganreview.com/adminguide.html</a></p>
<p>I wasn't saying anything about your grades. I don't know you nor your background, and I'm not familiar with your school since I'm originally not from Ann Arbor. I have no right to say anything concerning admissions so I usually shy away from saying anything about chances in any thread. The best that I'll do is give a vague guess based off of what I've seen in the past. I'm only a student here and not an admissions officer. I don't know what Michigan looks for when they accept students (though I do have an idea). </p>
<p>I was just commenting about your post which brounght up the fact that you live next to Michigan and three fourths of your senior class hasn't sent in their applications yet. I guess that I misinterpreted you, but I got the gist that you were saying that they aren't worried so you shouldn't be either. Yes, it is okay to send in the application this late. Heck, it's okay to send in the application through February first (though I highly discourage doing that). I just wanted to be clear that every person's application is different. Every admissions decision is different. </p>
<p>I was attacking you in no way.</p>
<p>Ah, the beauty of how easily it is to misunderstand typed speech. I'm probably at fault for not really explaining myself... I didn't mean for it to sound as if it was okay to procrastinate till the last second and not even worry about your application. Waiting till Feb. 1 to send it is doable, although, as you said, not the greatest idea. And, yeah, you're right, everyone's case is different. I was basically trying to say (although I didn't do a very good job of it) that even though it is a little later than some people would like to send it, (example, the one girl who makes up a quarter of our senior class), there are still people who haven't sent theirs. I didn't mean to imply that they weren't worried about it. Mine, for example, is almost done, and I plan to send it tonight. Another person in my class has barely started, and the last person has it about halfway done. I'm sorry for any misunderstanding I may have caused.</p>
<p>You're fine. Don't sweat it. :)</p>
<p>I'll just bump this up</p>
<p>Krabble - Hey there! Well, I was just looking at last year's threads, and ppl who were completed by early Dec.(which it sounds like you will be) heard a decision by the end of January - end of February.<br>
For me, everything is listed as received by 11/18 and complete by, I assume 11/25, since I just got back today and saw that WA changed my status. Based on last year's apps my guess is that I will hear end of Dec - end January.</p>
<p>Thanks collegecountdown!</p>
<p>Quick question: is there a mid-year report for UMich? I may have missed it, but I didn't find one.. hmm..</p>
<p>No. If you're already admitted you don't need to. I guess if you haven't been admitted by then and get good grades it wouldn't be a bad idea to send them in.</p>
<p>Should I ask my guidance counselor to send in my quarterly grades (1st marking period)?</p>
<p>This is slightly off topic, but I was wondering if the admissions officers needed to receive SAT scores by December 1st in order to consider me for scholorships? I sent in my application already, but I had forgotten about SAT scores and UM doesn't allow rushed scores, so I only sent in my SAT scores about 2 weeks ago (Collegeboard says to allow 3 - 5 weeks for SAT scores). That means my scores won't be received until after December 1st.</p>
<p>Will this put me out of the running for a scholorship? I have extremely solid stats and a 2370 SAT score, if that changes anything. Any help on this matter would be well appreciated!</p>
<p>KRabble88 - As long as you aren't delaying your app. For example, I might be concerned that everything else is there, but when your supplemental material gets there, your app is "held up" so that the new stuff can be added and then logged in, or whatever. I have no idea if this is a legitimate or not, but I remember someone saying that additional materials might have slowed down the process. You could do the LiveHelp or call. But, if your GPA is good, I might leave it alone.</p>
<p>sugarhill32 -Sorry, don't know, but I would suggest LiveHelp - it's a cool interactive real time conversation with an admissions person - very easy to use.</p>
