<p>@aglages:</p>
<p>how does their lowering standards affect you or the overall school anyways. The stats show that michigan alums have continued to excel after undergraduate school and many have been pioneers in their respected field. Those same students may have been admitted with non-elite stats, but they have more talent than what their numbers suggested, and UMich was not wrong admitting them.</p>
<p>^ couldn’t agree with you more! Due to Michigan’s comprehensive admissions process, they choose students based not only on their numbers, but their overall achievements. If a student has had many personal achievements and a great background but not so hot of a score on the SAT/ACT, they might still be admitted due to their “talents.” The student that got accepted with lower stats may have been very respected by high school faculty and something significant must’ve been in the other parts of their app (essay, recs, etc) that convinced the admissions officers, period.</p>
<p>Mori…I wouldn’t listen to yosup. Send it in as soon as you can especially since you’re being considered OOS. If you get deferred, your chances might be done by then.</p>
<p>
Read the thread. And it is students, not student. Their significant accomplishment was evidently graduating from DPS. Perhaps that in itself is significant enough for UM.</p>
<p>Anyone interested in moving on and returning this thread back to topic?</p>
<p>^ you obviously have no evidence the reasons admissions officers admit particular students. If you are trying to sound intelligent, at least speak for yourself, not second-guessing others. There is no way you know that a student’s significant accomplishment was evidently graduating from DPS.</p>
<p>will there be more decisions on thursday???</p>
<p>
Read or ask mommy and daddy.</p>
<p>@ ilovefhf:</p>
<p>Hope so, but I doubt it. Most likely next Thursday on December 3rd.</p>
<p>Hello - is anyone hoping for decisions to be released tonight? I just read a thread from last year, and decisions were posted the night before Thanksgiving. I know the school is closed, but it was also closed last Thanksgiving week as well, but admissions still updated WA with decisions.</p>
<p>^aglages:</p>
<p>Thanks, but i most likely won’t take that into consideration. Matter of fact, i won’t take any of your falsified “opinions” into consideration.</p>
<p>Peace, love. ■■■■■. what a joke.</p>
<p>that is easy for yo to say, already accepted</p>
<p>@aglages: Yeah, U of M slips up. This girl from my school was accepted this year who no one thought would get in. And yet last year my friend with a 3.5 and 33 ACT was rejected despite the fact that he is very, very intelligent (6 on Math HL and 7 on Physics HL exams) because it looked like he didn’t put in effort. So how “sub-par” are in-state standards then? Don’t degrade the quality of the overall admitted class due to the *supposed * standards applied to one district…</p>
<p>
"supposed standards applied to one district’? Do any of you read any of the threads / posts on THIS forum? I believe you’ll find some posts from UM students remarking on the academic quality of some of their classmates. Clearly the standards are lower for SOME in-state applicants. Substantially lower. If that offends you, or you think that reflects poorly on the rest of the in-state UM students then take your case to the state or university. It is what it is, and all the insults and denials are not going to change it. </p>
<p>Fortunately, the OOS (and SOME in-state) admissions standards for undergrads still seem relatively high and that may help the overall student profiles and prevent the UM image of strong academics from taking too much of a hit.</p>
<p>if you get accepted, are you sent an email, or do you have to check your wolverine access?</p>
<p>@ cherrypicker</p>
<p>Both, you’ll get it on Wolverine Access first, then an email will be sent from a couple hours to a couple days later. Then finally, a letter will be sent through snail mail.</p>
<p>If you send U of M a CSS PROFILE, does it show up as “received” somewhere on WA? o_O</p>
<p>^i believe so, look around FA section</p>
<p>do LSA and college of engineering work through the same AO? because i applied way before my classmate and he heard back before me, he applied engineer, i applied LSA.</p>
<p>yeah aglages, Michigan’s selectivity is sooo bad. I mean, its not like US news and world report ranked it the 24th most selective college in the country or anything…</p>
<p>andre10: For 2010 I think UM is 27th. Looks like they are slipping.</p>
