<p>Last night I had a dream that someone on here posted that decisions were up on WA and weren’t being sent out by e-mail. So I checked on my phone, thought it said “accepted”, until I put on my glasses and saw that I was actually deferred!
This morning when I woke up I checked, and there’s still nothing there. The wait is killing me!</p>
<p>For whoever applied, where are all of you guys from?? I’m from Colorado, but my Dad lives in Michigan, so my residency classification isn’t quite official yet.</p>
<p>hazelheart, it will come soon enough around December 20 not sooner…either deferred or accepted, but for sure no wait-listed. Just remain calm!</p>
<p>is it possible for me to retake the ACT and send it to Michigan so they can use this score when they are looking at my decision for Ross (i applied permit). I know the ACT score will not be looked at for LSA because it is too late. But is there enough time for me to retake it for Ross?</p>
<p>If Ross decisions come out in March (about the same time as Regular Decisions if I’m correct) then I think if you send now, they would be able to use it for Ross (they probably don’t look at applications until after EA acceptances anyway). Make sure you call and make sure first</p>
<p>I don’t want to start a new thread about this so I’m going to ask this here:</p>
<p>How does preferred admissions into the pharmacy program work? Is it the same as Ross (LSA decision at early action decisions and pharmacy school decision at regular decisions if you got into LSA)?</p>
<p>I submitted everything a week before the Nov 1st deadline and I got the email saying I qualified for early action consideration.</p>

<p>I’m sure they just update your Wolverine Access when they release preferred admission decisions. They don’t consider it until they accept you into LSA. I was going to apply Ross preferred until I found out they only accept 50-75 undergraduate applicants into it. I’ll test my luck freshman year if I get in to apply to Ross :)</p>
<p>Just to clarify - if we’re accepted to LSA but denied preferred admission to Ross, we can still choose to just attend UMiach LSA, right?</p>
<p>does anyone know what time michigan releases decisions and where can we see them- do we check on Wolverine Access or will they be emailed to us?</p>
<p>@KaiLh: yes of course</p>
<p>@agcc97: I believe they will email you with your admission status has been updated but will not tell you exactly what the decision was. Then you have to sign in to check. I’m not completely sure this is the case though so someone else should confirm/deny</p>
<p>has anyone gotten an email from UMich stating when decisions will be released? I know it’ll probably be around the 13th, but i heard they email you a couple weeks before to confirm when decisions will officially be available…</p>
<p>From what i’ve heard, you’ll get an actual letter in the mail by the 24th. Email will probably be around the 13th like agcc97 said. People got emails around the 15th last year. And last year’s trend was that the first wave of emails were acceptance emails, and then deferrals.</p>
<p>Did anyone get a “Go Blue!” sticker in the mail from the admissions office? I saw their twitter page retwetting and favoriting students with picture of the sticker from the admissions office. Kinda curious if every applicant gets one.</p>
<p>I got one too Miw140.I just tossed mine in the trash can though lol, tweeting that little sticker won’t rise the chance of acceptance</p>
<p>Lol. I doubt it has any effects too. I just want one 
I’ll probably get mine really late though, since I applied on 11/1.</p>
<p>They are quite nice :P. I got mine before I applied, since I hit that one button on their website of how I’m interested and send me information etc during the summer.</p>
<p>They were giving away those sticker at a college fair at my D’s school.</p>
<p>Damn I want a sticker now lol!</p>
<p>it has been a while since I’ve posted in this forum! I just wanted to say, to anyone in the class of 2018:</p>
<p>I was in this tense, anxiety-ridden position exactly a year ago. in fact, I was pretty well known here on the umich forums because i posted so often. Michigan was my dream
school, even though I am an out of stater. I hardly expressed any interest in the university in my own state, the University of Texas at Austin, to which I was accepted to in November
2012. It was my safety school at best. I was literally obsessed with Michigan, and my friends, family, and teachers all thought I had a pretty good shot at getting in.</p>
<p>I applied EA and I would check these forums several times a day, especially when December came around.
I finally received my decision on December 14, via email (& WA was updated), around 430 pm central time. I was anxious the whole day, but I secretly thought I would be accepted. But no, I was deferred.
It was a really depressing day. I literally did not want to talk anyone for a few days, at least. I got over it pretty fast though, and decided that I would put all my effort into trying to get accepted; I was thankful that I wasn’t rejected.</p>
<p>I emailed my counselor, and sent in a couple of additional materials (based on my senior year accomplishments). I was told that a final decision would be made around February/March.
Every week, I impatiently checked to see if any deferred students found out (I believe I started the Official Deferred Class of 2017 thread). But mid-February was approaching, and still nothing.</p>
<p>However, in mid-February, something else happened, which would change my life forever. I got in trouble with my parents for something that I did earlier on, and they had found out about it just then. This was a huge incident, and my parents lost all trust in me. It had something to do with me in Michigan (not the school, but the state itself), when I had visited Ann Arbor the summer of 2012. So attending Michigan was pretty much out of the question, regardless of whether I got accepted or not. Initially, I tried to think of ways I could still convince them I could attend, but in the back of my mind, I knew it was over. I would not be going to UMich. This was really hard to get over, but I basically had no choice. I still painfully remember taking my Michigan poster off the wall 
It was a rough few months for me. </p>
<p>However, I was lucky that my parents didn’t make me go to a local college while living at home - I could still get out. So the University of Texas at Austin it was. In retrospect, I wish I had considered applying to other schools that I was also interested in, but my interest in Michigan consumed me. I had only applied to UMich, UT (as an auto /safety school), and a couple of top tier schools I knew I didn’t really have a shot at getting into but I didn’t care because I assumed I wouldn’t go there anyway.</p>
<p>But here I am, one year later, almost done with my first semester of college. It is ridiculous how fast this past year has gone by. I never imagined that I would be here, but I actually do love it here. The University of Texas is a great school, and I realized that it’s more or less the same as any public university. I have great classes, a great view of the city, great friends, and I always have a ton of fun over the weekends. I feel at home here, and I definitely can’t complain about going to the #1 party school in America. </p>
<p>To me, the University of Michigan isn’t just a school I applied to, but a pretty big emotional symbol for me. Sometimes I do think of what would have happened if I actually ended up attending there. I can’t believe everything that happened (I know it sounds a little dramatic, but if you guys knew the full story, it would probably seem that way too). I don’t regret anything that happened, although it was tough to get through, because it all brought me to where I am today. And for that I cannot be more thankful.</p>
<p>So, I know this has been posted a million times, but I just wanted to testify that it IS true:
If you get accepted, congratulations! UMich is a great school, and it truly would be an honor to attend.
If you are deferred, it’s not the end of the world. There is still a chance you may get in. But even if you don’t get in, you will definitely enjoy wherever you end up going, if you let yourself.
I highly advise that you apply to more schools while you still have time, just to keep your options open. </p>
<p>Anyway, I have to go start studying for my finals now, so good luck everyone!! If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. :)</p>
<p>It’s nice to see you again faiintx. The last time I saw you on this forum I was worried about your mental health over umich but I can see that is no longer an issue :)</p>
