<p>Lets see if we can get in or not.</p>
<p>SAT 1990 (CR 660 W 640 M 690)
GPA - UW 3.25 ish
Applied to college of engineering
I'd say good reccomendations and essays but abviously the adcoms didn't think so.</p>
<p>Uniguy: Look at the CDS posted on the other thread…
64% of students had UMGpa’s of 3.75 and higher
approx. 24% had 3.5-3.74…and I can bet those were in-state candidates…
Below 3.5…you get the picture…</p>
<p>You were lucky to be waitlisted…</p>
<p>There were OOS students deferred back in December with 3.8UW…( and I can hazard a reasonable guess that they will also be waitlisted now)</p>
<p>and, yes, UMich cares primarily about GPA’s despite reports to the contrary…</p>
<p>
Does this mean that if we accept their waitlist, we HAVE to go? If you know, please PM! Thank you so much!</p>
<p>As for me - Waitlisted
560/750/750 - 800/780/750
3.8 UW (best) 36 IB
6 Clubs officers, including Student Council Pres.

<p>Rodney,
Are you saying that Michigan goes easier on the in-state applicants?</p>
<p>1320 / 1900
4.06 W (not including senior first semester which i did really well on)
Founder of a club, tons of community service, hall proctor, varsity sports
wonderful recs (waived rights)
international oos
LSA</p>
<p>^ A lot easier.</p>
<p>3.63UW, 32ACT</p>
<p>LSA</p>
<p>wasn’t really considering UM anymore, just curious to see my decision..so I’ll probably be declining their offer for WL</p>
<p>waitlisted…
got thru UIUC /Vtech/Purdue…won’t suffice to say I’m not happy…if we accept waitlist …is it binding or summat???..does that mean we have to attend?..and end of june…what the hell?</p>
<p>and shld they not go easier on OOS since the tuition is higher???</p>
<p>I’m just the messenger..but the CDS doesn’t lie…It is a long known fact that it is easier to be admitted to UMich from instate…UMich does not publish IS vs. OOS state data like UVa though…It makes it look like a weird pattern of admissions; people deferred and waitlisted OOS at Michigan and accepted at top 20 schools…(michigan: 47% admission rate v. top 20 schools: 25%)…</p>
<p>sherlock: You would think so, but not the case…</p>
<p>im oos</p>

<p>oh. and..</p>
<p>3.4 instate
too many aps
33 act
sweet recs/essays
decent ecs with mucho leadership/commitment
app. date :9/21</p>
<p>and so ends the agony</p>
<p>liberate: What school at UMich are you so blessed to be accepted at? I’m assuming it’s not LSA; sorry, but that was what my post was referring to and judging by the remainder of the posts on this thread, it seems to be holding true…</p>
<p>And if you were accepted to LSA, you should be very proud, but you are an anomoly…Congrats!</p>
<p>I got waitlisted today, here’re my stats:</p>
<p>SAT : 1940 , 590 CR, 710 M, 640 WR
SAT II : 790 math II, 750 chem
UW gpa : 3.85
Residency : OOS, overseas.
Essays : Decent.
Recs : Decent.</p>
<p>Glad I was waitlisted, I was expecting a rejection.</p>
<p>A friend of mine (applied as international, non-us citizen) got waitlisted too, but she rejected the WL offer cause she made Georgetown(her #1)</p>
<p>stats were:</p>
<p>2240 SAT
800/790/760 SAT 2
4.0
top 5%
excellent essays/recs.</p>
<p>We were really shocked…She made Georgetown/Carnegie/Stern</p>
<p>I should have applied early… this all came down to early vs. regular deadline /. I applied 2/1 last day it was due… damn</p>
