<p>Hi guys..about how long after you submit your application will you receive an email with your UM ID and instructions on how to see your status? Getting a little worried, because it has been a day and haven't heard anything from them. </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Mine took 4 days for them to activate my account, but that was because I already had an UMID.</p>
<p>It would take at least that time to generate one and setup your account. I’ve heard it takes about 7 days.</p>
<p>I got the ID 2 days after I submitted everything.</p>
<p>But don’t we need to wait a week before we log onto the account?</p>
<p>I logged in today, because I had already gotten something in the mail from Michigan with the ID, but when I tried to enter it, it said invalid. I guess they still have to match up my application with the number.</p>
<p>Yeah, I did the same with the UMID I had received BEFORE. What will happen is that you will get an email that your CommonApp was downloaded and a link to access WA, with the same UMID you got and put on your app. This signifies they have “activated” your account. You should be able to login after that.</p>
<p>@ViggyRam, you should be able to login once UofM sends you a confirmation of or a new UMID. It just takes about a week for them to update your profile with the status of your credentials.</p>
<p>Crap…I forgot to put mine on there. They’ll match it up though, won’t they?</p>
<p>oh, OK. So, I can log in now but it would just be kind of pointless right? (because my status wouldn’t be updated yet)</p>
