Anyone know if people accepted late from the waitlist have trouble getting housing and classes first semester?
Late - but I was accepted Saturday!!! And have enrolled
LSA InState
1440 SAT 32 ACT
3.6+ish GPA with massive upward trend -sent in straight As in all AP classes first marking period of senior year
Ok ECs - a few leadership roles
Lots of demonstrated interest, went and sat in on classes after being deffered, sent LOCI, dads an alum
What an emotional rollercoaster. In my case, I really wasn’t excited about the school I had committed to in May - so getting the email was the best news ever. I had given up hope completely and resolved to put Michigan out of my mind and move on - it was a real shock!
@butterfly999. Awesome! Getting good marks especially in AP classes senior year is key. It shows you are ready for college. Good Luck at Michigan.
No problem getting into learning community and great dorm after waitlist decision last year. Son got classes he wanted, just not times he preferred.

FWIW, my kid’s orientation date was the 3rd week of July 2018 and didn’t receive housing until right around 8/1/18. No issue with getting any classes and got an excellent Central Campus dorm location.
Edit: To clarify, my kid was admitted EA, not from the waitlist.
Do you think it’s a little late to send in a LOCI rn?? I accidentally sent the wrong SAT score to them and when I called their admissions during first week of May they said that I shouldn’t even think about sending it. I do have significant activities I’ve done like international stuff… I’m just not happy attending my current school though I was given TOs from other schools for next year 
@CrayonShinChan TO? Just wondering what that is.
Also at this point you have to decide if a loci is too late to send in. Why would you wait till now to send it in? Trust your instincts and do what you feel is right.
@Knowsstuff
It means transfer option, which different schools have different meanings annotated with them. I was thinking because I stumbled upon this thread just know!! Wish I found it sooner when I called last May, the AO said do not send anything in or LOCI because they had enough to go off of with our original application. But reading some comments here, I guess I should’ve done at least something which I regret…
For those who got word they were accepted from the Wait List, did you receive an email or just check the portal?
For those who were accepted in the last batch, was the portal updated at 12am or sometime throughout the next day?
Those that were accepted aren’t on this page anymore. Hopefully maybe a few more accepts next week if those taken off the waitlist don’t accept their offers. Deadline to accept is tomorrow according to one poster who’s kid got in.
Any guesses or insight as to the week ahead?
My guess is nothing will be communicated this week. Looking back at last year’s waitlist thread, the second June “wave” came out on the final Friday of June (29th) along with rejections for those not offered spots. If the pattern holds (and this year so far the patterns haven’t held!) would be to expect your final disposition late next week.
My college counselor spoke to AO for my region and she said the Admissions office in AA did not ask her for any recommendations of people to get off the waitlist yet, so I have somewhat lost all hope. If I somehow got off, I would be shocked, but who knows. I wish everyone else luck. What is everyone else’s current college (if they do not get in off waitlist)? and a follow up, would you consider/do you plan on transferring in?
@joelen09 I committed to Purdue for Mechanical Engineering! At this point, I’m already super happy with Purdue, and since its engineering program is just as top notch as Michigan’s I don’t think I would transfer in should I get off the waitlist. At this point, the decision notification is just wondering what all my final decisions happened to turn out to be.
I don’t know…I have seen the scores and stats of the kids who got off the waitlist. My son, white male with low adversity index scores has 1540 SAT (770 Math) and 35 ACT (36 stem and math) int a 3.9/4 GPA captain of his team, etc. Is still waitlisted for LSA.
The kids getting in have a high score of 1440. I live in Ann Arbor. What I hear is that their quotas have nothing to do with academics. My concern is that they are working more off the Adversity Score than anything else. Why would someone who ranks in the top quartile or better of the school be on the waitlist?
None of this makes sense. After the Lawsuits and recent decisions made public at Harvard, I no longer believe that any of this is bad on academic merit. Which is crazy because if you have not been working very hard in HS you won’t survive the rigors of UM classes…especially math.
Have admissions been denying anyone off of the waitlist? I know one person who has been denied but it doesn’t seem common.
No school can possible take all high Stat kids. There would be no one left. They are building a class. Not sure what else to say. Sometimes you do all the right things and it doesn’t work out. Just another life lesson.
Yeah the admissions process doesn’t make sense to me. I know a kid with a 36 who got denied by Ross, and a kid with a 30 who got into Ross. The whole thing is weird. I thought I would be a no brainer to at least get into LSA. Apparently not.
If anyone’s still on the waiting solely to “see what happens” but truly has no intention of enrolling at Michigan should you be accepted, may I humbly request you proactively remove yourself from the Michigan waitlist now. Should you be accepted without intention to enroll you will delay the opportunity for someone else while the school spins another cycle of deciding who (if anyone) gets the offer you decline. Time may soon run out to replace the last few offers at all. If you’ve truly moved on, please respect those who haven’t by letting the school know now.
