<p>24th at the latest 
</p>
<p>Michigangirl22ā¦OMG lol, I understand what you are saying. I frinkin agree with you. However, decisions wonāt be tomorrow, that is all that Iām saying. Look, I hope Iām wrong, please, I really do. I donāt mean that decisions will be right on the 24th, LOL. I ment closer to the 24th. Thats all. lol</p>
<p>I wonder how they choose who is released on which day</p>
<p>Taking tests and quizzes next week is going to be tough lol gnā¦</p>
<p>Taking two tests tomorrow will be even worse, especially considering the timeā¦</p>
<p>I leave this forum for one hour and this is what I come back toā¦
In a lack of better words, I am entertained.
I, too, also wonder how they decide whose decisions go in what waves. I feel like it is automatically generated in a completely random order by a computer. Alphabetical would be awesome, though. My last name starts with an āAā 
(now Iām just making stuff up so I donāt go crazy speculating haha)</p>
<p>I doubt theyāre going to release them over several batchesā¦
Itās probably just going to be over one weekend like in past years. If they were to release half the decisions this week and the rest next week, there would be chaos. I doubt they want to deal with hundreds to thousands of phone calls from kids, parents, and counselors wondering why some students have received decisions and others havenāt. Iām hoping for tomorrow, but I am expecting next Friday to be the release day. Thereās just nothing besides the history of releases that is pointing towards tomorrow. Last year they had history, counselor e-mails about the release date, and support by the admissions office that the decisions were coming out shortly.</p>
<p>@Miw140 Yeah, Iām with you on that. Next Friday is definitely looking more probable than tomorrow 
Almost every single person that called/emailed the admissions office has gotten an outright ānoā about decisions coming out tomorrow. I mean, if you think about it, do you really think that the admissions office would outright lie to thousands of people about when the decisions would be released? I doubt they would be THAT deceptive. Theyāre secretive, thatās for sure, but I donāt think they are liars. This is a bummer :(</p>
<p>Wolverine Access is down!!! I take this as a sign theyāre changing application statuses today!</p>
<p>or maybe there is just a lot of people who are trying to enter to wolverine access with a hope that decisions are today and it caused the site to be down</p>
<p>Let me dream</p>
<p>Actually, itās neitherā¦ Wolverine Access is always down from 4am to 6am. At least thatās what it says in the Hous of Operation menu. Sorryā¦</p>
<p>Iām going to be checking this thread and wolverine access an unhealthy number of times today.</p>
<p>Okay, n the interest of helping you guys not be devastated here, Iām going to attempt to correct some notions.
This one:
</p>
<p>It has never been ājust over one weekend.ā They DO NOT release ALL the decisions at once. They release them in WAVES based on how many files are completed. That said, you may see a āmajorityā of decisions over a single weekend, but to date, never ALL.</p>
<p>So when you see that someone has received an acceptance is Bose Idaho, that does not usually meant you will get your decision that day in Jacksonville FL. It doesnāt even mean youāll get your decision in Boise Idaho that day. You mightā¦or you might not. </p>
<p>And many of those decisions will be deferrals, meaning there is more waiting ahead.</p>
<p>So please, please, please do not freak out if others have received a decision and you havenāt. However, if the 24th comes and goes and you still donāt have a decision, call to check your status. Not before :)</p>
<p>^ Totally agree. That is the reason they set a later day for guarranteed annoucement by. Next Friday may be too late to start the admission notice to be completed by 12/24. Nevertheless, it happened in the past they delayed the announcement of admission. So even the āguarranteeā day may be not a firm guarantee.</p>
<p>Lol is there anyway they can reject a USAMO qualifier?</p>
<p>One qualification will not carry your app if your other stats are low</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>In my experiences as a student at Michigan, āyou will have it by [date x]ā can and does frequently mean āyou will have it on [date x].ā That may not hold true with admissions this time around, but be prepared for that possibility.</p>
<p>Again, there are no guarantees, but I still feel confident decisions will be released today. I just checked my email from last year (again I am apart of Michigan 2017) and the time release for admissions was THE SAME.</p>
<p>(We will contact you if we need any additional information and appreciate your patience as we review your application. Your decision will be released by December 24, 2012. Go Blue!). </p>
<p>We found out December 14th, 10 days before that date. They say December 24th because they donāt want to interfere with holidays (Christmas) as a lot of people get deferrals and it can ruin holidays (trust me).</p>
<p>I still believe decisions will be released today BUT there will probably be A TON of deferrals! The reason there were so many last year was because they simply didnāt have time to get to all of the applicants and review their stats in depth (tons of applicants which is the same as this year, but even more!). Hence why there were even different deferral lettersā¦ some more positive stating essentially that they like what they see but they havenāt had time to fully review the whole app, and some more negative as what a real deferral would be that they reviewed your app and need to see other peoples stats before letting you inā¦</p>
<p>Letās pray decisions do in fact come out today!! (rooting for my boyfriend to get accepted!!)
GOOD LUCK TO ALL</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well I guess another way you could look at it is BECAUSE they donāt want to repeat what happened last year, theyāre going to spend more time looking at more applications instead of deferring. I think this is better anyways - waiting a few days to get an absolute decision is better than getting deferred and having to wait months.</p>
<p>Also considering the fact that there were problems with the common app, Iād bet that weāll probably not get our decisions today (although I hope iām wrong).</p>
