I’ll let you guys know how it goes. Given my high school stats I’m skeptical I have a shot, despite everyone telling me it won’t matter anymore. I guess we’ll see.
When you have that many credits I assume the 2.9 23 ACT is washed away. I think you’re in. When are you applying and what is your major? @Bioinformagics
@Mantha3993 I’m submitting my application tonight hopefully. At my current school my major is BioChem. My desired major is LSA Computer Science following their bioinformatics track.

I have legacy at UMich, about 6 family members have gone there, including my grandpa. Also, I’m also not sure if this will do anything, but my great-grandpa donated a bunch of Armenian literature to the school that he brought with him when he immigrated to the United States during the Armenian Genocide.
@Jeremiahtoo I have. I got my decision this past Friday. It showed up on Wolverine access as a view decision link way before I actually got the e-mail. I got the e-mail on Sunday.
@Jeremiahtoo I know that some of the admissions councilors were on the road, mine just got back today. They don’t start looking over apps and releasing decisions until they’re back.
@DetroitFan81 I don’t. I only know about mine because he said that he would be on the road in response to an email I sent him. I’m sure they’re all back at this point.
I just heard back with my rejection. I kind of expected it since I’m only a first semester freshman. Well, time to send in the app for Fall of 2018, I’m not giving up.
