I applied to U of M on Oct. 20 and I am considered to be an early action applicant but I have still not hear back. I have heard of regular decisions coming out strange considering the EA deadline has not happened yet. My naviance says I have strong chance of getting in but this wait worries me! Should I call admissions and ask when I should hear back?
For reference
1270 SAT
4.156 W
Band and yearbook all 4 years
nationally competitive high school
My son applied October 6 and he is still waiting too! I also think it is odd that RD kids start hearing and not all EA kids have heard.
@drjdillon Same here, applied on October 7 and have yet to hear back. Seems kinda unfair to us EA applicants that the RD people are hearing back earlier despite us applying 3 months earlier…
I heard back
My son applied 10/15, strong stats, OOS (IL) highly ranked district, and is still waiting. He thought U of M was his top choice, but a little disenchanted with their admissions process compared to the other schools he applied to. Now he is much more excited about those schools.
I will say that them extending RD to 1/15 seems to indicate they were looking for more of a pool to choose from. In our case she got accepted in like 10 days. She had accepted into CLA which I believe is a little easier although being over the 50% middle range I believe is why she got a quick response. It seems to be a lot of the decisions (or lack of)may be based on major.
Has anyone heard of EA rejections yet? I have only seen accepted or deferred posts.
Don’t give up hope! My son applied end of September and just got his acceptance 1/23 to CSE.
Congrats and good to know! I was hoping we would get some news yesterday or today, but nothing. We truly might be waiting until the last minute!
My portal just changed to Update Available! but no apparent update so hopefully I will find out in the next couple of days…
Great! My son’s still says the same thing it has said for months. Ha!
No update here either- just application complete. UGH!
Same with us. My son applied several months ago and hasn’t heard a word. Application tracker still says that everything is received but nothing else. We also e-mailed an additional letter of recommendation letter and never received confirmation they received it, despite having e-mailed them asking. We are disappointed.
Just got my acceptance!! although to the College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences not the CSOM so I probably wont be attending:)
@soptop17 FWIW, CFANS has a great Applied Economics program. Sorry you didn’t get into CSOM, but congrats on the acceptance!
@soptop17 Congrats!! Glad to know they are still giving acceptances.
My son applied on 1/1 and we got his acceptance in the mail yesterday. Hopefully they’re all coming out now.
jd91200, did you also see something on the Application Tracker?
Applied early october (EA) to CSOM and CEHD as a 2nd choice school but still haven’t heard anything. 3.6 gpa and 30 ACT. Does this mean I’ll get deferred or is anyone else still waiting?
Still waiting here. Same choices. Stats a little different…ACT lower, GPA higher. At this point it would just be nice to get some answer. Hopefully they won’t wait until the last minute and then defer.
