He is a little disappointed but not surprised given the other posts in this forum. More disappointed that the final decision may not come until April. But I believe he will find where he is meant to be. Congrats to all who got in and best wishes for those of you who are waiting with us.
I’m just not sure you can use the prior years as a measuring stick. Things are totally different now. I hope not, but it would be nice if the school could give some clarity about what to expect.
It’s not just based on comments here. Michigan received a total of 80,000 apps last year. If the amount of in-state apps remained steady for the Fall of 2021 (I don’t have a breakdown) compared to the Fall of 2020, then 69,000 +/- apps came from OOS.
45% of the freshman class is OOS. So, if you want to enroll about 3,000 (roughly) OOS kids, then you have to accept about 12,000 OOS kids (assuming 25% OOS yield). That’s about a 17% acceptance rate for OOS applicants, which is what it was last year.
Anyway, the more apps, then unfortunately more deferrals, waitlists and rejections.
I got postponed and my grades slipped this year the portal only asked me to submit a continued interest form but should I still send in my mid-year transcript along with it?
It’s not just OOS kids that Michigan defers in high numbers. All but 1 in state kid we know were deferred too. The accepted one had the lowest stats of any of them.
So my D22’s postponement just said she needed to submit a mid year grade report by Feb 20th. There was no request for a continued interest form. There was a link to the FAQ questions about postponement and that said she could submit both a continued interest from and her mid year grades.
Is this what everyone else is seeing? Or are people getting notifications about continued interest right in the postponement?
She’s just so sad right now. I feel terrible. I thought she had a chance at COE in state with a 4.0 and 1460. Now I’m wondering if COE was the right choice with her stats. IDK. It stinks.
