im oos from california and everyone who got accepted to michigan last year got accepted in the 2nd wave. Does michigan decide who is in what wave based on geography or was that just a coincidence?
My daughter from California was accepted to LSA in January and to Ross in the first Ross wave in February.
I agree with your message- not your sources.
You included sites that make money off redirects to ranked schoolsâ links instead of referencing legitimate rankings with transparent methodology, i.e., we donât exactly knows it # 8 in. Is it outcome, student profile, school resources,âŠ
This would be a very strong pairing. My sonâs economics friends had great internship /job offers. You donât need Ross at Michigan to go into business. I have said this over and over.
Howâs this in a world rank?
yes, precisely my point- legitimate source w/ transparent methodology;
âThese subject-specific rankings â which are not of academic majors, departments or specific schools at universities, such as business or medical schools â are based on academic research performance in those subjects. U.S. News used various bibliometric measures, including publications and citations, as well as indicators for global and regional reputation in each specific subject.â
Respectfully - perhaps the topic of UMich Econ rankings warrants its own separate thread?
A few things.
The sources that I linked all come to the same conclusion; which is the Economics Dept. is fantastic. Paid or not paid. So, IMO, I donât care. I quickly googled, because generally every dept or school is ranked high at Michigan.
Youâre critical of my post/sources, but offer no sources of your own. Zero.
Lastly, I included USNWR (yes, grad ranking, but undergrad benefits), Niche and QS, which I thought are credible sources.
Anyway back to your regularly scheduled programming.
I love getting attacked on the Internet. So much fun. 
It is not clear why you think I was âattackingâ- certainly not my intent. I said I agree with the conclusion but merely suggested questionable sources were unnecessarily being cited to support argument. Because I was not refuting your claim, I saw no reason for me to âoffer any sourcesâ.
You are an excellent source of information on this thread. Franky, I am surprised to hear you say you do not care about the credibility of the sites you provided. I suspect this was a dismissive comment & not literally true.
I apologize if you were offended by my comments regarding these links- again not my intent
On a lighter note, how about that 
tonight??
And thanks to everyone for all their kind info on this thread. Always helpful.
The fact that more of the rejections / waitlists are in the later waves makes me think that they arenât all geographical.
Gotta have thick skin to be here as long as we have 
. Donât tell him one of my sources was from 2014⊠Shh.!
Anyway⊠Michigan menâs basketball is destroying MSU⊠They gotta do this every game.
Just to state the obvious. Many discussions about Econ, Ross, engineering, nursing, Stamps, etc etc.
Michigan has like 50 majors ranked consistently in the top 10.
I will just about guarantee you that if your kids are accepted and put some effort in being at school and get involved. They will have excellent outcomes with internships /job offers.
Its a rare public school that runs like a private school being an international brand. Yes, International.
They will do just fine.
Have any nursing students heard about decisions?
I was deferred for nursing in early action. I saw a few people accepted in January but mostly in state. According to the UMich Class of 2025 discussion, quite a few nursing students heard in the March 5 waves and then a lot in end of March and early April waves.
Yes, when my kid was accepted thatâs the first thing I noticed. We have no experience with UM and didnât visit due to Covid. For a kid who doesnât know what they want to do, itâs perfect. Any major is highly ranked.
Itâs also intimidating to many. Organized and motivated students will soar. But we know of many disorganized (letâs be honestâŠIâd bet most of us were that way at 18/19) students, or students who werenât really sure what interested them, that were overwhelmed upon matriculating at UM. Several transferred, several eventually found their footing, and a couple just had bad experiences that they muddled through.
Weâve had the conversation with our D that if she were to gain admittance to LSA (and not Ross) and decided to attendâŠshe at least needed to have a basic roadmap for her studies.
Yep. Just canât go wrong plus Michigan supports it. Switch majors, add minors, create your own thing⊠Itâs all supported. My son graduated in engineering with 2 minors. All 3 in the top 7âŠkinda cool.
Hi! Do any of you know what time the LSA honors decisions come back today?
