<p>Hi guys, was wondering, how does UMich notify successful applicants? Do they notify you through email as well as letter or will they only send a letter?</p>
<p>Cheers</p>
<p>Email. You’ll get a letter as well, though.</p>
<p>I don’t think I got an email? The decision just showed up on Wolverine access. Maybe it got caught in my spam filter or something.</p>
<p>Where does the “view decision” link show up exactly?</p>
<p>Wolverine Access, new and prospective student business, application status, and then a a"view decision" link will appear at the bottom of the little blue box, I believe. When I go to that page now it just says that I have accepted admission to the university but I don’t think my memory is faulty, I stared at the page enough times! Don’t worry, you won’t be able to miss it as long as you are checking the right page. :P</p>
<p>Guys. I checked out my application status page and there’s no View Decision link!</p>
<p>That’s because there isn’t a decision yet. It’ll show up when there is one.</p>
<p>AHHHHHH! Thanks so much mate. LOL!</p>

<p>When did you have all of your credentials marked as “received” on WA?</p>
<p>I applied for a transfer for Winter term so it states (the last transcript required) 11 September 09. When do you think I should hear back? Should I email them asking about the status?</p>
<p>I applied last year for this Fall, smart.cookie. It took them the entire month of January just to process my paperwork and then I had a decision two weeks later.</p>
<p>So it basically took them 6 weeks from the time they received the last required document before they got back to you?</p>
<p>No, it took them two once they received everything. I applied right around christmas when school wasn’t in session so it sat in the mailroom until break ended, and then they had a huge backlog of mail to get through before they even found my transcript. They received everything at the very end of January and I got a response within the first week or two in February. I would just assume that the combination of me being a transfer and it being on top of the deadline meant they didn’t have much to sift through anymore.</p>
<p>WOAH! You sure are on the ball. Last year for this fall. Phew. That’s great drive man. Where did you transfer from? Are they that stringent on transfer students?</p>
<p>I actually applied like right on top of the deadline for the Fall 2009 semester and am already here. 
I was way behind because I was waiting for my second semester sophomore year grades to come in, because it raised my gpa .5 by itself. I had to retake something first. </p>
<p>I just transferred from an in-state community college. I am broke and my parents changed their plans about helping me pay for college somewhere down the line without informing me until it was too late for me to make any other arrangements. They are less stringent on transfer students, the average LSA transfer has a 3.6, according to the website. I got in with a 3.5 and had a 3.7 when I wrapped up there to come here. Transferring is such a whirlwind, I’ve been at my new school a month and I already have to start thinking about law school apps.</p>
<p>You’re transferring in as a junior I presume? I’m transferring in as a Sophomore from Australia (University of Melbourne). I’m just hoping they’re not too fussy about high school grades. I obtained like a 2.6/4 for my GPA. It’s very competitive in Singapore. Then I did a Diploma (As throughout), but they said though it will be consider the work done, there’s no transfer credit cause it’s a vocational school (which is why I’m wondering if they’ll really take that into consideration). I have a 3.75 GPA for my first semester in uni and 2 As for the mid sem of the second. Man. Most people transfer in as juniors yea?</p>
<p>Bets of luck with your law applics man. I’m gonna do law too. You gonna apply to Mich law?</p>
<p>Wheet. Acceptance. Now I’m wondering how they arrange housing for transfers.</p>
<p>I answered your PM about that. I think you still participate in the lottery system but you get to list some specific buildings you’d like to live in. It’s a quick one page application that will take you less than a minute to fill out.</p>
<p>Check these out to help you decide what to select:</p>

<p>I recommend getting into either the Central or the Hill area unless you are in engineering. As I told you, most transfers opt to live in Northwood 3 and up until the last couple years that was actually their only option because there wasn’t room for us in the res halls, but you are welcome to select whatever you want now. I live in East Quad and it’s kind of interesting because pretty much my whole floor are little blonde freshman girls that won’t talk about anything but sorority pledging and how much fun prom was, and I feel significantly older and more focused than them. So sometimes I kind of wish I had moved nearer to other transfer students. Buuuut I think it’s worth it to be able to leave for class 10 minutes before.</p>
<p>And yep, I am going to apply to Michigan law and hopefully a few others of similar rank, and maybe one or two just below. We’ll see, the application process is going to be pretty expensive and I am in a bit of trouble about it. I am hoping that since Michigan does not require parent information to determine grant eligibility, like everywhere else I’ve checked so far, I’ll stand a better chance of getting the funds together. I am going into public service so my hope is to get into a loan forgiveness program but I may be too poor for law school anyway. >.< That is still an area I am researching, I just started to get into the specifics recently.</p>
<p>Let me know if you have any questions about transferring! My experiences are probably going to be somewhat different from yours since you’re an international, but it was hard for me that I didn’t know any transfers for most of the process so nobody knew what I was going through.</p>
<p>I’m informed that a few universities, those who get rejected do not get a letter sent to their address, they are only notified online, but those accepted are notified online and a personal letter… So does University of Michigan send a letter to those rejected? I would think they don’t making the rejection a lot easier without the humilation and dissapointment with a personal letter. Does anyone know?</p>
<p>I’ve heard it’s generally the other way around?</p>
