<p>Did any class of 2014 students attend this? I got a letter and e-mail from UMich inviting me, but I wasn't able to go on the date they came to our town. I was wondering if they told you anything important, especially about "Get tips for filling out your application including a list of common mistakes to avoid". Anything you anyone can fill me in on? I've been kinda mad at myself for missing this, and was wondering if I missed anything important.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Summary of the presentation:</p>
<p>Fill out the app online, and it has a built in app scanner to avoid errors</p>
<p>Apply before Nov. 1 for Early Action, 'nough said</p>
<p>Submit official ACT scores, be sure to request transcript and letters of rec early (as in, before Nov. 1)</p>
<p>Know what school you want to apply to.</p>
<p>Then they talked about life on campus. Summary: dorms are fun freshmen year, freshmen can’t have cars, greek life is for some but not all, join clubs, meet new people, love Ann Arbor, get football tickets</p>
<p>And then they took questions, of which none were worth mentioning.</p>
<p>Overall, one could read through their website and gain most of the information given. But it was cool to hear from the student panelists.</p>
<p>Thanks! It looks like I already got all of that info from my visit to Ann Arbor. “freshmen can’t have cars” is news to me though, I was thinking of bringing one. Thanks for the info!</p>
<p>Yeah, it sucks. But parking on campus is worse. There are never spots available, and there is no designated student lot. It really sucks for nursing students (I am a nursing applicant) because in junior and senior year nursing students need cars to drive to off campus clinicals but likely won’t find anywhere to park while on-campus.</p>
<p>And that’s why off-campus housing was invented. Though freshmen year I want to live in the dorms.</p>
<p>There are parking lots by a few of the bus stops where you could leave a car. You would have to take a bus to the car though.</p>
<p>nope not me</p>
<p>As a seventeen year old applicant from Singapore (driving age is 18 here), it’s not altogether unthinkable not having a car around.</p>
<p>Thats a new one, I thought remember hearing that freshmen can have cars.</p>
<p>Singapore and Ann Arbor are very different. Someone not living in the dorms does need a car. If I were to walk it would be an hour and a half each way, in the winter.</p>
<p>
You can bring your car if you also bring your parking space. You can’t purchase a permit and even if you can, it’s like a hunting license.</p>
<p>The only reason I was gonna bring a car was so I could drive home to visit if I ever wanted to (I only live 1.5 hours away) but having a car there would only be another worry so its probably not worth it.</p>
<p>^As I said earlier, there are plenty of places in Ann Arbor where you can leave a car free. You’ll have to take a bus to get to them, but if you’re just gonna take it home on weekends, it’s more convenient than other methods of travel.</p>
