well initially i thought the reason i didn’t make ER was because I submitted my test scores from collegeboard on november first, so i figured they had taken a few days to send. I then called michigan back and they told me it was an issue with my recommendations not with test scores. but i was mad at collegeboard haha</p>

<p>I’d just love to not hear from UMich until after I’ve heard from my ED school a week from today because that would be just so wonderful…hope you caught the sarcasm there.
But really, Congrats to all you who got in.</p>

<p>When are we thinking the next batch will be out? (haha it sounds like i’m talking about brownies or something)</p>

<p>is the application date it writes on the website the date your entire application was in, including reccs & everything?? like if it writes october 20 [which it does for me, lol] that means i’m DEFINITELY early, right??</p>

<p>just call in and ask. like i said, my stuff was oct 21 and they said i was missing it</p>
