UMID issued before application submitted

<p>Michigan emailed my D2 a UMID to include on her application. We thought the UMID wasn't issued until after the application was submitted. What's up?</p>

<p>whats up is that uofm does issue umids before applications are submitted. If UofM had any prior contact with your student, either from college visit or w.e, they can issue a UMID to him/her. For instance, i got a mail describing early action to me with my UMID on it, way before my application was sent in (i didnt even do early action).</p>

<p>Yeah, I got the same email. Like j89 said, she's probably had contact with UofM. She probably just joined their mailing list at some point.</p>

<p>Hmmm... </p>

<p>My D2 never expressed an interest in U Mich because it's OOS for us and too expensive ($45K a year! :eek: ). The email with the UMID she received was unsolicited.</p>

<p>Maybe it was the College Board's Student Search Service... </p>

<p>Good luck to everyone who is applying to be a Wolverine! Great school!</p>

<p>my mom said she got like an application or something sent to her email for me?? she was all, fill it out fill it out!! jeez i don't even have my teacher recs yet...</p>
