<p>Good idea! I'm in on it too. Awesome.</p>
<p>Yea i dont know why cant they tell us online and stop wasting postage on mail and our time.</p>
<p>and you guys might have to wait an extra day to get the letter since july 4th is coming around o_O that must really suck.</p>
<p>forgiven, i've been waiting 266 days for this rejection, i'm sure that one day isn't going to make a difference.</p>
<p>A2Wolves6: If you do end up getting a rejection, I'm REALLY sorry. If anybody most deserved to get an acceptance this year, it would have been you.</p>
<p>How do you know for sure it is going to be a rejection? Maybe the university feels after putting you through so much, you deserve to find out in a much more personal way than a "view decision" link that you've been admitted... Just trying to be optimisitc</p>
<p>It's a rejection. They post ALL admissions on WA, including waitlist admits. It's a rejection, and I'll post it for sure later today once I get the letter in the mail!</p>
<p>don't be so pessimistic. There's always a chance.</p>

A decision will be arriving in the mail.

This is U-M speak for the rejection letter. S. got the axe shortly after this appeared on WA. The Kines. letter told him he should consider transferring come Junior year. Not pretty. Very sorry to all of you qualified hopefuls. The U doesn't know what it's missing by losing loyal kids like you, who still want to attend even after enduring this long admissions saga.</p>
<p>Thanks GoBlueAlumMom! Seriously you guys have given us so much support throughout this entire process, whether it be a successful one or not, everyone on this forum has been overly supportive and we can give nothing but thanks to all of you. It's just a shame not all of us will be joining you in the fall! I can still root for Mich football though... GO BLUE!</p>
<p>Everyone who applied to LSA:</p>
<p>Check your email! Most likely if you got the "decision arriving in mail" thing, you have been rejected!! I got the exact same thing,and I checked my email and I recieved the rejection notification. </p>
<p>Thanks U of M for making me wait 6 months for this decision. Thank you for breaking my heart, and most of all thank you for not having the decency to break the news via US Mail then sending a letter via email.</p>

Dear _____________
Thank you for your willingness to have your name on our wait list for a
possible place in the Division of Kinesiology. This year we were able to
take very few students from the wait list and have now met our enrollment goals. Unfortunately, we will not be able to offer you freshman admission for the Fall 2006 term.</p>
<p>If your interest in the University of Michigan continues, you may wish to
consider applying as a transfer student. Generally, priority is given to
transfer applicants applying at the junior level who have completed
appropriate prerequisites for their intended major and who have
demonstrated strong academic achievement. For more information regarding prerequisite course requirements, please visit the Division of Kinesiology webpage at <a href="http://www.kines.umich.edu%5B/url%5D">http://www.kines.umich.edu</a>. We also welcome you to contact our office directly if you have any individual questions regarding the transfer application process.</p>
<p>We thank you for your strong interest in the University of Michigan. We are sorry we are not able to offer you a place, and we encourage you to take advantage of other higher education opportunities available to you. Best wishes as you pursue your educational goals.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Theodore L. Spencer
Director

How am I going to get back at this university for what they have done to me the past 267 days? I've already got a couple of great ideas.</p>
<p>Reading the posts is heartbreaking--I'm so sorry you all didn't get in. I'm in North Carolina looking for posts on UNC Chapel Hill's wait list decisions and came across these threads. Good luck everyone wherever you end up going!</p>
<p>A2Wolves6, I'm so sorry to hear about this rejection. I truly am.</p>
<p>However, you might want to rethink your wanting of revenge against Michigan. I know what it feels like to be rejected. Trust me. I received my own rejection letter once upon a time, and it wasn't a good feeling. It hurt. A lot... However, I never thought about taking revenge against that university for rejecting me. The thought never even crossed my mind. Ironically enough, I still like them. </p>
<p>However, in the long run (a.k.a. sometime during my freshman year), my loyalties and feelings shifted to belong to Michigan, and now I'm truly happy and thankful (even "giddy") that I received that rejection. If I hadn't, I would have never gone to Michigan and fallen in love with this school. I would have never made friends with some of the most interesting/amazing people that I have met in my entire life. I probably wouldn't even have discovered my love for my future major and minor. (I haven't officially declared them yet. I'm also debating whether or not I want to turn the two subjects into a double major instead.) Now, I wouldn't trade my experiences and friends at this once "second choice" school for anything. Ironically, my "second choice" school morphed into my "first choice" school, and now I wouldn't have wanted it to turn out any other way. </p>
<p>Give IU a chance. Getting rejected by Michigan is not the end of the world. I'm sure that next year you will take part in many amazing events that only IU can offer and meet some amazing new friends in the process.</p>
<p>I'm giving IU a chance, I love IU, it's a better school for me than UM, but I don't like being treated poorly, I don't like being treated like i'm an insignificant statistic, and that's what the school did to me throughout the admissions process. They caused angst in my household, thoroughout my entire life for 267 days. A thread titled "The Abuse by the University of Michigan" couldn't have been more true, because what they did to our lives was abuse. But if that's what they want to do, that's what they're going to do. So now i'm going to do my own little thing.</p>
