Official Class of 2014 University of Michigan Decisions Thread

<p>^^ yeah don’t lose hope!! I haven’t gotten a decision back either, should be really soon though, hopefully within the next couple Thursdays, the 24th being the latest of course. :D</p>

<p>After dec 14, will they start releasing decisions on a day-to-day basis in order to give everyone their decision by dec 24?</p>

<p>^ i mean dec 17</p>

<p>@jackdaniels:</p>

<p>haha, same!! freshman year: bad. sophomore year: straight as. junior year: couple as and bs (all APs though). senior year is going well though, all as.</p>

<p>so it’s a negative trend lol</p>

<p>UW is 3.592 ouch, W is 4.067 or so.</p>

<p>i’m thinkin’ i’ll only get in if i’m in state =/</p>

<p>^^dude i dont know what ur SAT/ACT scores are but your GPA is fine for out of state :)</p>

<p>Applying to UM but it’s a reach school for me… killed because of my low GPA. Have decent SAT scores (2200, over 1500 out of 1600), good teacher recs/counselor recs, activities, etc. but a 3.22 unweighted academic GPA, ~3.3 counting sports/PE, etc. (9th-11th… 10th-11th is even lower, like 3.0 unweighted)… took one of the hardest courseloads possible though so lots of AP/honors courses but the school doesn’t weigh GPA. </p>

<p>Submitting my app within the next few days, I’m just hoping I get deferred so that I can at least show them my senior year first semester grades which are better.</p>

<p>^^
Is your school really competitive or were you just not able to do the work? If you’re in-state you have a chance. If people have applied from your school with similar GPAs and gotten in you have a chance. Get straight A’s senior year though.</p>

<p>my ACTs/SATs are fine…35 and 2250 (1450 CR + M though)</p>

<p>^^problem is…they dont have my ACTs since i took them late october =(. So just SATs</p>

<p>760 CR, 690 M</p>

<p>thanks for the encouragement ck! are you applying too? if so good luck =)</p>

<p>hey, i submitted my app by the 1st of november, but WA says UMich didn’t get my final rec til the 23rd. am i still a candidate for early response?</p>

<p>also, i did get the email saying i submitted my app by the ER deadline.</p>

<p>@charlie: Yup I applied ED as well. I REALLY want to go here, cause if I get in I get to be a part of the mens lacrosse team and there really good, so it’d be like living a dream basically…going to a school like UM and playing the sport I love. It’s just frustrating though cause the coach says I should get in, but I’m just paranoid that I wont! But I look on the brightside, if I dont get in I have some other good options as well :)</p>

<p>i have a 3.77 W gpa, 2060 SAT, 30 ACT, really hard course load, and lots of EC. plus i’m OOS. what r my chances?</p>

<p>crazypianist1116: Yea my school is pretty competitive (very good public school). The school doesn’t rank but I am pretty low on the rankings in unweighted GPA… which sucks because my weighted would put my higher up since unweighted doesn’t take into account the rigor of classes (but school doesn’t weight). I’m out of state but I have an interest in computer science… not many from my school applied, but lowest accepted was still higher than me. I’m hoping my SAT scores, etc. could help, everything else is good except my GPA. My senior year grades are a lot better too, so like I said, I’m just hoping I get deferred instead of outright rejected.</p>

<p>@charlie, dude they have your ACT by now, I took the Oct ACT as well and they had it as of Nov 16th</p>

<p>@charlie, yeah if you took it in october they have it. they got mine like a week or so after i sent it in, you’re fine</p>

<p>does it really matter if kids from your school applied and how their grades were? Two other kids from my school applied and they both have worse ranks then me, but their parents both went to michigan … does that somehow effect me since we’re from the same school? (oos)</p>

<p>@jackdaniels: i asked the some college counselors about this, and yes, in some cases, it doesn’t help to have more kids from your school applying to the same school you are. It’s not because certain schools have quotas on how many kids they can take from one school, but because schools like to maintain a selective image. UMich officers like to maintain Umich’s image of selectivity (as do most schools), so while its definitely possible that they take a bunch of kids from one school, they may be less likely to do so since it may make them appear less selective than they actually are.</p>

<p>^ slight typo. disregard the “the”</p>

<p>Ah hurry up and get here Thursday</p>

<p>^Seriously… it needs to come right about now</p>
