Next Wave?: Black Friday? / This is sooo frustrating...

<p>Do you think there will be a wave this friday, (Black Friday 11/28) ?</p>

<p>I sent my app in Oct. 13th, still no response.</p>

<p>Yet, I know people who sent there app in late October (29th, 30th, 31st)... n they've already heard back. whats up with that ?</p>

<p>aaaaaaaaaaaaagh this is sooooo frustrating.</p>

<p>i think it has something to do with regional delays in admissions.</p>

<p>My hypothesis is that the ones they are absolutely sure about (either an obvious acceptance or rejection) get sent out first, and the ones in the middle take some more time to review so they get released later. That could be wrong, but it makes sense.</p>

<p>blackpen2008,</p>

<p>what do you mean by "regional delays" ? -- are you saying that umich is accepting kids from some areas of the state first etc...??</p>

<p>i have a good feeling about black friday .... does anyone else ?</p>

<p>There probably is something to the regional delays. I'm from the New England area and I applied on Oct 30th and just heard back within the last 24 hours.</p>

<p>i dont think they will release decisions on black friday because if they just released them yesterday then they wont have very many new decisions to release. I would be very happy if they did release decisions on friday but im not counting on it.</p>

<p>what i meant was that some regions of the u.s. were experiencing delays in decisions at umich. like nj, people who applied early oct./late sept. were hearing back just recently. </p>

<p>you should find out soon. ummm i would say by next friday.</p>

<p>My application was totally received/processed 9/17 and I just got my decision yesterday. I wouldn't flip out just yet. There's still another month for decisions to be released.</p>

<p>Do you think that there's any chance of some decisions being released tonight? It doesn't seem like there were that many released yesterday...</p>

<p>wouldn't count on it but i'd love to be proved wrong</p>

<p>I am an international. I sent mine in late October and I got my admission yesterday.</p>

<p>My son received his acceptance to COE today by email. His application was sent in on 10/30. Good Luck to everyone!</p>
