<p>that wait must have really sucked but congrats!!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If all of your shadowing/hospital work is related to your intended major (which I’m guessing it is), then this will especially help. All of this work shows dedication and passion for what you aspire to study and eventually become, and this is the type of student colleges want. Lol that sounded kinda cheesy but it’s true!</p>
<p>@sailor, hell no. Don’t have the time to put in to it. It would be a noble thing to do though</p>
<p>@sailor09, im taking the ACT on December as well! I’m probably going to get deferred, because they considered me OOS and I’m going to send in my residency apps tomorrow.</p>
<p>sooo next round is a week from this Thursfay?</p>
<p>^That is what the pattern would suggest</p>
<p>the wait is killing me</p>
<p>Same here!!</p>
<p>its not top notch no more
my friend recently got accepted with stats similar to mine
without onsite, just through applications
she submitted on 10/27
just letting u guys know</p>
<p>^
Oh wow seriously, you all got really lucky… are there any hudge hooks you have? I have similar stats to you and your friend, lower test score but higher GPA… ( applied early Oct) note I have already been deferred, on cc it feels like I’m one in a million since there are still no deferrels, but multiple acceptances with similar stats to my own. I guess a bad rec was a hidden gem in my application since we don’t get to see them but I highly doubt my rec’s were bad at all.</p>
<p>Does your friend also attend Detroit public schools?</p>
<p>Yep Detroit public schools. Similar stats to mine. We were both accepted to CSP for LSA. N i have no idea why you got deferred. Seems pretty unfair. You can still get in right? through an appeals process i heard.</p>
<p>Where do we go to receive our decisions? Are they going to send them through emails or do we have to log on to the wolverine page?</p>
<p>According to my knowledge, both. It will show up on Wolverine Access first, then an Email later in the day. But this is only true if you were accepted. I heard that deferrals and/or denials came through snail mail and on Wolverine it says “decision will be mailed” or something similar.</p>
<p>i read an article last monthly about mary sue coleman encouraging those from detroit to apply and she said $ will not be a concern for those kids. So, maybe that’s a lil leg up?</p>
<p>Ugh no. Guys, it’s ALWAYS been fairly easy to get in as an in-state student to U of M. People here on CC tell you otherwise, but that’s because the vast majority of individuals who come to this site are already well integrated into academia of some kind (be it college or just an elite high school student) and thus judges the admissions standards as such. Every year, our school, in a small suburb of Detroit, (Brandon Schools) the few kids who have the guts to apply to U of M get in, so long as they’re ER, and these kids usually have a GPA of around 3.5 and an ACT of about 26, hailing from white, middle-class roots with average ECs.</p>
<p>So yes, Michigan is an elite university. But it only has elite acceptance requirements for OoS students or late responders.</p>
<p>
Can you be an elite university without elite admissions standards?</p>
<p>aglages has some sort of vendetta against in-state kids. Chill the **** out man.</p>
<p>No, not a vendetta. Just attempting to understand how a university can be elite without keeping admission standards “elite”. Perhaps I’ve missed the entire point? Maybe UM is actually elite despite its non-elite standards and many people are just unaware of ordinary those standards are for in-state students. If that is the case then I apologize for asking about the elite standards.</p>
<p>thats really not true, it is still elite for instate competitors trust me</p>
