<p>General Comments: omg…I never expected to hear back so soon. That was so unexpected, and I’m massively excited. I had everything in October 1st, and I thought for sure I’d have to wait until the end of November for a decision. This is my top choice so I’ll be attending for sure! I can’t wait to see you guys there! GO BLUE!!</p>
<p>Thanks!! I rushed to WA when I saw your post on the other thread. I almost cried with joy when I saw I was accepted…it was so unexpected! I can’t wait to see who else gets in.</p>
<p>Yosup, scholarships are only awarded by letter and are subsequent (sometimes considerably subsequent) to admission. You cannot find out from WA. Watch the mail : )
Possibly COE is different (don’t know), but the general offers at LSA last year were mailed a week or so later. School of Music did notify by email followed by letter in spring. There is also something called the Shipman scholarship (most generous) that applicants can be invited to participate in. Some of those contenders are awarded full ride, others are offered a portion. I believe if I recall you had very strong stats and am betting you were a high admit. High, early admits are well-positioned for earliest offers. I also want to note that <em>some</em> merit awards can be <em>need</em> informed, meaning if you’re in a position where you need a lot of financial aid in order to attend based on your family’s financial info, it might behoove you to submit an estimated CSS now. Just a guess on the latter – don’t believe it will hurt you if you don’t.
Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice kmc. I didn’t think my stats were anything special at all, but I guess I was a high admit since I heard back so soon after getting everything in only on October 1st. I’ll definitely submit an estimated PROFILE and hopefully start getting some aid since financial aid is important to me.</p>
<p>Also, thanks so much to everyone who helped me out earlier during the application process!!</p>
<p>PS. I think everyone should post AP/IB/Honors classes they took, and the date U of M received all of their materials. It’ll probably help out a lot of people waiting for their decisions.</p>

<p>3.85 gpa and a 31 ACT instate, and you were worried?</p>
<p>^ Yes, I was extremely worried because I had 0 EC’s (lol) (unless you count a couple programming contests) and my essays were terrible. Also, my GPA was below average for COE, and my ACT was just at the average.</p>
<p>congrats you guys!
you guys are so lucky to have been already accepted
Michigan is my top choice and it says I had everything in by Oct 6th
My stats aren’t as good as yours and I’m an international so I’m guessing I won’t hear back until Christmastime
I’m so nervous
:(</p>
<p>Will decisions keep coming out every day or will it take another couple weeks for the next one? Am I correct in assuming that when you’re accepted, it shows up under the application status? I submitted it on October 9th so I wasn’t expecting anything, although I am surprised yosup got his when he submitted it on the 1st.</p>
Just wanted to add that I submitted my materials early Oct and WA said they received everything on Oct. 7.</p>
