<p>On the website it says it takes 12-15 weeks for them to decide on admission, I sent in my application in late January, and 12-15 weeks would mean late April/May, which is when other colleges require you to make a decision. </p>
<p>Does anyone know anything about Michigan and if they will send out decisions before that time? Because I'm don't want to wait until the last day nor do I want to decide and then receive something from Michigan.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>all decisions are out by april 15</p>
<p>My S applied mid Nov. ; app Complete end of Nov. After I made 2 calls in Feb and Mar as to the status, they changed their minds and said it was completed early Dec. I am an alum. At this point, I think my S will write off UM. I cant help but feel disappointed at UM stretching out notifications til mid April. (BTW, almost all schools say they've had a record # of applicants....yet they manage to put out decisions by April 1st...just saying)</p>
<p>Decisions are continue to come out in batches. I've heard of some people getting decisions in the last couple weeks. April 15 is the latest batch probably.</p>
<p>i can't help but feel extremely disappointed with michigan's way of handling things.</p>
<p>seriously! i think they need to change the system or something, since its driving us all nuts like this.</p>
<p>Would you prefer that they adopt an EA/RD scheme instead of rolling?</p>
<p>Thank you all for the responses.</p>
<p>@GoBlue81, they can't roll on until May, that's just way too long.</p>
<p>I don't think you should take the 12-15 weeks literally. I've seen decisions made under 3 weeks. In any case, the last batch of decisions will probably come out no later than April 15.</p>
<p>GoBlue81: With all due respect, how many weeks do you think Nov 15 through (possibly) April 15th is???? Still not a word. If they are going to reject....then they should do so quickly....so we can MOVE ON.</p>
<p>Don't take me wrong. I'm not defending their practice. I'd rather see Michigan go to a EA/RD or a priority/RD practice like UIUC. With rolling admission, Michigan seems to have some reservation handing out "deferred" decisions.</p>
<p>Michigan did institute an EA this year. We just missed the deadlines in a big way. By the way, the 12-15 weeks does not include holidays and spring break, so tack that on too. #1 son applied by mid October two years ago, heard by mid December. #2 son applied December 5, 2007, and we still have not heard.</p>
