Where do you check on Wolverine Access to see if your accepted
@TheShortSon can you share you score, I was admitted on Feb 9th, still waiting for Ross, so anxious
@ry200388 33 ACT (superscore I think).
@TheShortSon congrates, Thanks for the sharing, I hope to hear something soon, my ACT is 34 (not superscored)
@notnunya totally agree don’t travel 5+ hours for a one hour interview. That’s crazy. Have her send an email explaining how far away you are and do a video. So easy to do. I had a HAIL and did it in person but mostly the person spoke of their experiences and then I got to ask a few questions.

Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: U-M was the first school I heard back from. It was one of my safeties.
General Comments (if any):
I’m thrilled I got in! U-M is an amazing school and I had a blast going through the application process. However, I don’t come from a particularly well off family and, since I’m an international applicant, I can’t get institution aid. I probably will not be able to attend.
