if my decision tab went away two hours ago does that mean I could expect a decision tonight? another person at my school also noticed that his tab went away today (deferred EA and applying LSA)
Accepted to LSA in early January? Why frustrated? It is in the middle of their admission release only.
What do you mean? What did you click on to see that
Because he really wants Ross. Others are hearing back today, but he has not which means there is a chance he may not get in, so the nervous waiting continues. I thought it was obvious.
@holdingouthope I am not aware of any early January admission release. Even if there is one, it is not EA admission. Anyway, the first two rounds are mostly from EA admitted candidates and your son is not admitted EA, so the wait is normal. Once it enters the Ross application review, the admission notice is usually released in 3 weeks.
@billcsho It was actually more like end of December. I can’t remember exactly right now and he is not here to ask.He’s applied to many schools and I have not been micromanaging (believe it or not!). I think it was before Christmas since I bought him a lot of MIchigan stuff which I would not have done unless he was accepted. Michigan was his top choice so it must’ve been EA. So based on what you said, if he was in fact accepted EA we should be a little concerned he hasn’t heard from Ross??
my s17 was just admitted to COE after being deferred…now to see if he gets any merit scholarships or finds out about outside scholarships to make it more affordable as he is OOS.
is it still possible to be admitted at this point if I was deferred LSA?
does anybody have an estimate of how many acceptances have been given out as a percentage of the entire projected 2022 class size?
@davy901 No one really knows what percentage of admission have been released. If you use the number of reports in this forum as an indication, yesterday was a really large batch. I guesstimate around 2/3 to 3/4 of admission have been released so far. Perhaps more likely the latter.
@billcsho Okay I see, so at this point it’s fairly unlikely for people who haven’t received admissions to get in now?
@davy901 Not really. Many of those admitted yesterday have very strong stat. There will be a lot more admission for those with slightly weaker applications in the upcoming weeks. Note that your chance based on your application has not been changed, it is just the order of release makes you feel that way.
So if an applicant with perfect test scores, NMF, and a 4.4 WGPA did not get in yet do you honestly believe their chances are over? Do know for sure this is how it works?
If it is true, then they should receive a rejection letter.
@Blizzard1 Many high stat students do not get accepted every year. Rejection will be sent later. Many accepted yesterday have high stat too. These are the facts. Note that I said “weaker applications” above, not “weaker stat”. There are a bunch of high stat applicants with “weak applications” too.
Not arguing the merits of the applicants or the strength of their application. What I am confused about is why it seems no one has received a rejection yet. Does this not seem weird to anyone else? Just curious about the methodology in saving all rejections until last wave.
@blizzard1 if you go on twitter and search around, there are a handful of rejections that people have been posting about
The only goal is admission. Rejection always have the lower priority for notification. They will announce them by their promised deadline in early April just like other schools without rolling. They have a heavy workload to review 70k ish of applications and their top priority is to finish the reviewing process and notify the admitted students so they can make their arrangement, for instance applying to LSA honor, planning for a campus visit, or schedule for orientation. In contrary, there is little thing a rejected student needs to do. So why would they spend the time on the rejection notice so early. I mentioned there were still many high stat admission yesterday does not mean the other high stat applicants would be rejected. It simply means when you start seeing more lower stat admissions, that would signal near the end of admission release and it is still far from it.
By the way, NMF is dime a dozen at UMich. The cut off score is just equivalent to something above admission average.
Just a theory, but based on what we are hearing and seeing in our area OOS, Michigan may be managing the amount of acceptances to lower their % admitted. The couple students admitted locally were students where Michigan was their number one choice over other competitive schools and the college counselors conveyed that to Michigan. They also were not comparing financial aid packages or have any other things that would hold them back from accepting. They were strong students with strong applications, but not necessarily with the highest SAT/ACT scores, that group was deferred in December.
I also think the wave of acceptances is a bit cruel, but with the number of applications Michigan receives it may be the only way to handle while managing their ultimate “yield”. They are looking for the right “fit” candidates first then saving the rejections until the end.
Forget about the yield rate which is just an after math. For sure they want to admit the best right fit candidates that would attend. There is no reason to admit someone who showed a lack of interest to attend at the end. But by no means they are avoiding top candidates. They always admit me check more from the OOS as they know most of them 69% last year will not attend at the end for different reasons. They may admit less this year, however, as they are providing more financial aids to lower income OOS this year that the yield rate may be higher. That would be pretty much the opposite of your speculation.
Also, when you see a lot of rejection coming out, that also suggests they are pretty much done with the review and admission. Until then, there is no reason to worry yet.
