** Official Class of 2018 University of Michigan EA Decisions Thread **

<p>I still have hope and believe that they’re still coming out this Friday</p>

<p>I too hold out hope for decisions being released Friday. Does anyone know if any counselors received an e-mail from umich stating when decisions would be released? Last year, they sent out e-mails on Wednesday and decisions were posted on Friday.</p>

<p>Guys it’ll be less than 2 days now. Good luck focusing on anything else</p>

<p>Where are you all from?</p>

<p>I’m from Maryland, but currently I’m doing an exchange for 10 months in Brazil.</p>

<p>I’m already having a hard time focusing. I stayed up to 130 last night. Now I have a test in Calc and AP bio, and I just can not study at all!</p>

<p>I hope the 30K EA is not true as well. Last week, I asked an UM financial aid officer how many EA did UM receive this year during a presentation, I totally thought it was a joke when he answered. I asked him again whether it was 13K or 30K, he clearly told me again it was 30K. He told me that is why the admissions are extremely busy this year. </p>

<p>I was still thinking I heard it wrong after I came back home that day until I saw a posting about last year’s EA number - the 22K.</p>

<p>And today when I called, it was a lady who told me the 30K EA again. So I think it probably is true. </p>

<p>Did you see the ED percentage jump for U Penn and Duke this year? </p>

<p>UM is definitely a great school, and since EA is non-binding, why not try if you have the option. I think a lot of the top students are applying UM just as backup plans.</p>

<p>Caaaali. Nervous as crap. To ease tensions, how about we talk about something happy? What made you guys decide to choose Michigan?</p>

<p>I cant even think of something to put down haha</p>

<p>I was always considering it because its cheaper with in state and the psych program is awesome but I went to my first UM football game this year and I was convinced. I’m in love with the atmosphere.</p>

<p>I’m applying from Colorado; however, my Dad works with the military in Troy, so my family is moving to MI this summer. I’m freaking out right now because I feel like I need to get into UofM for family and financial reasons. I have no Duke or Harvard as my priority and Michigan as my fallback plan, it’s pretty much UMich or the notorious CU Boulder here in CO (Boulder= totally not my scene haha). Where is everybody else applying from? Any other fellow Coloradans?? :)</p>

<p>@Truepassion - Yeah, that’s me right here… Applied to Umich as a backup, and now I’m getting slightly nervous. Well, not really. I just wanna find out the results so I can move on with my apps. Applying to other colleges is much easier when you already have an acceptance letter to a great school. Then again, if I get rejected, I’m gonna have to quickly apply to a couple other safeties…</p>

<p>I am applying to Michigan because I was born there, my Dad was born there, my parents met there, my grandparents met there, and I have grown up my entire life being a fan of the school and sports.</p>

<p>Applying from New York!</p>

<p>Also, will Michigan announce the date on which it’s sending its acceptances out? Or will they just email us to tell us they’re available?</p>

<p>O yeah Im applying from the Chicago land area</p>

<p>Yeah, Michigan’s a backup for me too. If I don’t get in, I’m going to apply to a few Canadian schools (honestly, I want to apply to them but my mom won’t let me unless I really need a few last minute backups).</p>

<p>This may seem offensive to some devoted Michigan applicants, but I want to see what everyone thinks. Exactly how true is the stereotype that most everyone there acts like they’re 40 years old/are uptight/refuse to believe any other school is better than theirs? I have asked kids from my school that were accepted and they looked at me like I was an idiot…mostly because they fit the stereotype that I just described. What are your thoughts?</p>

<p>What time will you guys be checking for your results?</p>

<p>@APodge I’ve never heard that stereotype or found that to be true amongst the people I’ve known who have applied or attended</p>
