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

<p>@MIW140 how is the course going along. I am still on chapter 4 lol</p>

<p>@emily maybe they’ll just accept all of us because they dont want to ruin christmas :slight_smile: one can hope!</p>

<p>Yeah I wish I got it this weekend so if I happened to get in, I could’ve gotten apparel for Christmas.</p>

<p>how much do you guys think inner school competition will play a role? around 15 over qualified kids from my OOS school are applying… will they take all of us or just the 5 best? All 15 of us have 33+ ACT and good GPAs.</p>

<p>@JooHyo Good, I just started unit 6</p>

<p>^It kind of sucked cause my laptop broke so i literally could not do the work for a month</p>

<p>@wishfulwolverine it will probably depend on each person’s essays, ecs, and recommendations if the stats are all so close</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>@WishfulWolverine It will depend more so on your EC’s, letters of rec, and demonstrated interest than your grades/gpas (if they’re about the same) I doubt they will admit all of you. I’m sure the admissions office can weed out the students who actually want to go to umich.</p>

<p>there is a girl at my school who also applied (only about 4/5 of us) but she has like a 4.4 gpa and stats much higher then mine. however she ed’ed to upenn so do you think admissions will see that and potentially defer her?</p>

<p>Yeah I know for sure you dont need high ACT to get in. Last year one student got in with 25 its different for every person</p>

<p>As far as I know, I’m the only one that has Michigan as a first choice. The rest of them applied ED to HYP, Cornell, Penn, WashU, etc. I just find it hard to believe they’ll defer such qualified kids… but seriously what do I know!</p>

<p>@WishfulWolverine If they didn’t their essays seriously, they could very well be deferred.</p>

<p>@erindolan Same here! I was also planning on getting my dad a “Michigan Dad” sweatshirt but a. I haven’t been accepted and b. I don’t want to jinx myself by buying one now</p>

<p>@2014emily2014 it’s so sad when I went to visit my dad made me get a mug that says “Michigan” and my name…now that would be embarrassing if I don’t get it</p>

<p>^@2013emily2014 i just want that free shirt they give out at the orientation</p>

<p>I promised myself, at the beginning of my junior year, not to buy any Michigan apparel until I got in and it’s so hard!</p>

<p>my parents and grandparents went to UM so every year we are gifted michigan clothing, this year it just might sting
and then cause a skin infection that burns up my entire wardrobe nbd</p>

<p>^ i had no choice cause my sis keeps bringing them for me each time she comes back home</p>

<p>Like my entire wardrobe is Michigan gear… I have a brother who attends. If I don’t get in (or even deferred) it’s going to be really depressing and constant reminders of my failure lol. I really hope they don’t take all these kids applying as a “safety” instead of me!</p>
