<p>ryancj- I understand. I was more directing it at jkaufman’s angry post and trying to diffuse a potential fight. I do mostly agree with you though. For the majority, bothering admissions won’t make a difference.</p>
<p>jkaufman- Probably he just picked it because a 32 is generally considered a pretty good score. That might be what he got, might not be.</p>
<p>not gonna lie, i got lower than a 32. sorry about getting hostile as well, just dont see a reason to call out others if you dont know their situation. obviously its different now with the common app but mistakes can still be made. sorry again to everyone haha good luck to everyone! hopefully no one has to call about getting deferred ;)</p>
<p>UMich is tearing us apart lol if they just made up their minds and picked one date and said “on” this date they will be released, LIKE EVERY OTHER COLLEGE IN THE WORLD</p>
<p>@goblue, I definitely got lower than a 32 as well, no biggie. I think that is why I am thinking I won’t get in. I have a lot of APs, a good GPA, and a lot of ECs, but I am just worried that they will automatically put me down because of my score.</p>
<p>ryancj11- I’m just worried about the competitiveness of my school. They only offer three AP’s and the most you are ever able to take is two. It sucks. =/</p>
<p>Yeah, I feel like I am such an unknown. Like I am on the bubble, which is why this decision is really weighing heavy on my mind, because I would love to go to Michigan. My school offers a lot of APs, honors, etc. But I have had the worst time with SAT/ACT. Just something about it, I would get really nervous and stress so much over it and I think it got to me. I just gave up eventually. I hope this won’t hurt my chances, ugh! Reading the email will be like pulling off a band-aid, or worse. lol.</p>
<p>I was wondering the same thing… On my duaghter’s woverine page it almost looks like information for admitted students. It has 2 links under admissions “application status” and a link for international students. Over to the right it says “my admissions applications” and under the box it says UG LSA 2011. Under financial aid there are 6 links. “view financial aid and doc status”, “fin aid award summary”, “fin aid award notices”, “accept/decline fin aid”, “calculator”, “scholarship profile”… </p>
<p>Does everyone have all of this on wolverine?</p>
<p>umich probably looks at how well you do in your environment, as it is a bit counterproductive to compare kids that went to different schools.</p>
<p>For example, the average act at my hs is a 14 (2nd poorest county in Michigan). 3 of the 5 people that have gone on to umich in my school in the past two years have had around 25 acts. (the other two being much better, but I digress). </p>
<p>Don’t worry too much about how much your school offers, just know you did all you can do.</p>
<p>well they said they consider how many aps you took compared to how many your school offers, also your ecs, your letter of recommendation, and your essays. that way if you dont test as well as others you still have a shot to get in</p>
<p>“I’m just worried about the competitiveness of my school. They only offer three AP’s and the most you are ever able to take is two. It sucks. =/”</p>
<p>Don’t get down on yourself, the counselor report your school sends will have all of the information on AP caps, etc. so that you are judged fairly. The question is, did you take atleast one of the two AP’s available? If so, don’t be worried about the rigor of your record.
I got a 31 and have pretty decent grades and a load of EC’s. I’m OOS so I am waiting very anxiously just like all of you. I really wish all of these schools were like UIUC…don’t you guys agree haha?</p>
<p>If you guys are scared, try this on for size, my PUBLIC high-school has an average ACT score of over 29! I mean I was higher but the competition to get into these schools is ridiculous OOS.</p>
<p>jilldmd mentioned that he could not find his son’s info under the parent view but souris could. Why would they bother setting up some applicant’s financial account, but not all?</p>
<p>Yeah, I am so nervous. I know I will be upset if I don’t get in, but I will have to get over it. I am just trying to not get my hopes up. My friend did that and she got deferred from Brown, and she was so upset, she couldn’t help it and she just cried and stayed home the next day. I don’t think I would be as upset, but I would be a little down. At least I have been accepted elsewhere, where I would like to attend. I just hope that all of you get in! Good luck to everyone. I will definitely be on here telling you my decision no matter what when the time comes. Hope you all do the same, and can enjoy your winter breaks regardless of U of M’s decision.</p>
<p>I live and go to school in the backwoods of NC and we’re lucky to send kids to the local community college, but still I am seriously doubting my decision from Michigan, just because it’s SO competitive, OOS.</p>
<p>@OmgMom, would you mind trying to view your daughter’s info using your “Friends” account? I wonder if you would see similar links as shown in my account for my son. It would be interesting to know. Your daughter has to invite you from her account before you can setup your account.</p>
<p>lrose, I feel exactly the same. I keep trying to tell myself, don’t get your hopes up, but then I think of how elated and happy I will be if I get accepted. It hasn’t bothered me the past days as much but now it is getting to me… I can’t focus on my school work. Haven’t even started and it is 10 pm</p>
