<p>Thanks for the info. Actually, I applied as a Movement Science major, not Sports Management, as I am not interested in a career directly related to prof. sports. At this point I am not hell-bent on going to UMich; the wait has been too long and I've already accepted my top college. I hope better outcomes for those on the waitlist (is that number in the thousands? wow).</p>
<p>I got into the Sports Management major: GPA = 4.2, SAT: 1840, ACT: 26, Teacher Rec: Amazing, Counselor Rec: Amazing, Great Essays and ECs. Also, OOS from California, applied Early Response.</p>
<p>I did not think I would get in simply because my test scores were low.</p>
<p>Make sure you remember that you did not get into the Sport Management major, rather you got into the school of Kinesiology. The Sport Management major has a second level, your performance at Michigan will determine whether or not you get into the second level.</p>
<p>to be honest, i've completely stopped caring about UMich after i was deferred early, and i'm not quite sure why i applied, oh well</p>
<p>OOS, LSA
32
3.7-3.85 ish?? really really good senior year grades though
some very good athletics/ community service</p>
<p>to be honest, i'm glad i'm waitlisted. i've now set a record: waitlisted at seven schools!</p>
<p>um yeah...
im kinda in shock..
whatever, igot into Upenn and berkeley and USC and northwestern and much better schools than u mich!
4.0 uw, OOS, 35 ACT yup.</p>
<p>waitlisted...
college - lsa
turned in app during early decision pool.
sat 1860 - reading 650, writing 650, math 560 (weakkk i know)
unweighted gpa 3.9, weighted 4.7
rank 10 out of 250
4 APs at a school that only offers 6
all-state violinist of 5 years
was born in michigan, but of course don't have residency anymore because i moved. i live in south carolina now.
come from a single parent home and low income family, don't know of that matters at all.</p>
<p>not to worried about it, staying in state for a couple of years on a full ride and then transferring somewhere better than michigan, i heard undergrad there sucks anyways because classes are huge and usually taught by ta's, not worth out of state tuition.</p>
<p>"um yeah...
im kinda in shock..
whatever, igot into Upenn and berkeley and USC and northwestern and much better schools than u mich!
4.0 uw, OOS, 35 ACT yup."</p>
<p>then maybe your perception of what is a better school is skewed</p>
<p>Friend got waitlisted</p>
<p>3.7/4.0 GPA
34 ACT</p>
<p>I feel like Michigan is being awfully harsh with it's admissions this year.....</p>
<p>dietcoke, none of the schools you got into at "much better" than Michigan. In fact, none of them are even slighty better than Michigan. Michigan is roughly as good as Cal, Penn (same peer assessment score) and Northwestern and it is better than USC. </p>
<p>This said, you got into awesome universities and you are going to do great. But there is no need to take Michigan's decision so personally.</p>
<p>There's no way that a person with a 4.0 and 35 ACT got rejected. Either that is a lie, or they are leaving out something.</p>
<p>yea there is. a funny little thing called "tufts syndrome"...</p>
<p>p.s. i applied in november, had a 4.0, 32 ACT, have gotten into WashU, Brandeis, Hopkins, and waitlisted at Penn and Columbia. Now I just found out I was waitlisted at umich. Tis good for their yield numbers cuz im not gonna go there. go figure.</p>
<p>tryintobecool, Michigan does not operate that way. But it is pointless to debate on this thread. In this thread, Brandeis, WUSTL and USC are much better than Michigan and Michigan suffers from "Tufts Syndrom"! LOL!</p>
<p>WL!
31 ACT
3.7 UW GPA
tons of ECs that would have helped a lot in their holistic process
applied EA and was deferred way back then
I declined the WL and will be attending another big ten school-Wisconsin!</p>
<p>at least four other people were WL at my school, some with much better/similar/worse stats and all with lots of ECs</p>
<p>A girl who applied super early was accepted at my school, but that is the only acceptance I have heard of. no rejections.</p>
<p>Lots of bitter people on this thread.</p>
<p>Good for Michigan. I love to see my school getting more selective. Although, I have a feeling this year is gonna be repeat of 2006 (lots of waitlist acceptances).</p>
<p>^^ haha I totally agree.</p>
<p>How do you know there were a lot of waitlist acceptances in 2006? None of the kids that I know that were also waitlisted in 2006 managed to get in.</p>
<p>Well, for one, I was accepted off the waitlist in 2006, as were something like 500 other people, which is a lot considering Michigan rarely every accepts more then a few people off the waitlist.</p>
<p>CCRunner, if my little corner of the globe is any indication, I don't think so. This year, out of 13 students admitted from the UAE, at least 10 are enrolling. Most of them are turning down other top universities, like Emory, McGill, NYU-Stern, Northwestern, USC, Vanderbilt and WUSTL (to name a few) to attend Michigan. And two of the three undecideds are also seriously considering Michigan, one of them over Rice and the other over Georgia Tech. The only one who turned Michigan down for sure got into Penn ED and is bound to go there.</p>
<p>However, I hope that Michigan does accept a few from the waitlist this year. So far, from what I have heard, Michigan has received close to 30,000 applicants and accepted roughly 11,000. It is very likely that we will have a sub 40% acceptance rate this year. It was only a few years ago that Michigan used to accept 60% of its applicants. At this rate, in 3 or 4 years, Michigan will be admitting fewer than 25% of its applicants!</p>
<p>25% would be ridiculous. </p>
<p>If it were up to me, I'd just turn UM private and have 70% OOS population. Our endowment would probably get a lot bigger.</p>
<p>waitlisted
3.8 umich gpa, 32 ACT, OOS, double legacy, applied by october 31/deferred in december</p>

How do you know there were a lot of waitlist acceptances in 2006?
[/quote]
Based on U-M's common data set 2006-07, 2776 accepted the invitation to stay on the waitlist, out of which 525 were eventually admitted.</p>
<p>2006-07 was an anomaly. Historically Michigan took very few from the waitlist. Last year, Michigan took none (actually a handful). I'm still scratching my head why Michigan admitted so many from the waitlist in 2006 ... since Michigan over-admitted by 500 or more in the last couple years.</p>
<p>I agree with CCRunner that Michigan may take a bunch off the waitlist this year ... since they were under the constraint not to over-admit again this year.</p>
