<p>Is it true that UM received 55000 applications and looks to accept only 10000? That’s an 18% acceptance rate. Or was 10000 as typed in a previous post meant to have been 15000 or 16000?</p>
<p>Well they want to have about 10000 attend so they accept more like 15-20000, thinking not all of them will accept the admission offer.</p>
<p>Waitlisted. 2280 SAT, top 3% of class, good ECs, out of state. I got into WUSTL, Rice, Notre Dame and UNC (oos). This decision is kinda confusing to me but I’m not too concerned.</p>
<p>Correction to my answer above, they want about 6000 so they would accept 10-15000</p>
<p>U-Mich received way more than 40,000 apps for less than 6,000 spots in the freshman class.</p>
<p>What is extended waitlist? It says they treat it the same as a regular waitlist but I don’t have a good feeling about it…</p>
<p>They just have a different name for it is all. I guess they thought “a list where you wait” was too harsh so they softened it by calling it “a list where you wait for an extended period of time”. I feel better already :)</p>
<p>@bleu33 looks like the same thing happened to me. I applied Mid-November. When decisions started coming out in February, kids with much lower numbers than me we’re getting in, and kids that applied last minute we’re already finding out they were accepted. It baffles me, it seems like they have no rhyme or reason as to the order that they evaluate applications. Rolling admissions means that they evaluate them as they come, so I don’t know why kids who applied in January were getting decisions before me. You’re so right, it looks like they accepted their limit and realized they still had very qualified applicants that they hadn’t evaluated yet, so just threw them on the waitlist. Their loss.</p>
<p>^So what you’re saying is that if I haven’t heard by now, it’s a definite waitlisting at most?</p>
<p>@Maxyend It looks like some people who heard today were accepted. I think they just had very few spots to fill with a large number of very qualified applicants, so only the very, very top, the overqualified were accepted. If that makes sense. I think there’s probably still a chance at acceptance if you’re extremely qualified. Ex: I was just qualified, I had a 2170 SAT, a 95 GPA and solid in all the other areas. I was very qualified, but I wasn’t in the very top of the application pool, and since they had limited spots to fill I was wait listed. Nothing is confirmed but a large number of very qualified applicants were wait listed, this is most likely what happened.</p>
<p>^You say that, but just two pages ago, a kid with an 1800 SAT score got in.</p>
<p>@maxyend Ok, I mean you asked a question, I answered it and told you what I was thinking and I even said it wasn’t confirmed, just what I believed most likely to happen. I didn’t see a post about someone saying they got in with an 1800 recently. To me it sounds like you already knew the answer to your question before you asked it.</p>
<p>They received about 50,000 applications and they accept about 16,000 for a class of about 6,000.</p>
<p>accepted from Australia! so excited :)</p>
<p>congratulations to others… any other aussies with me?</p>
<p>I was placed on the extended waitlist as well…Do you know if this is a different waitlist than compared to u of m’s waitlist? and also how many people usually get off the waitlist each year?</p>
<p>wait listed also. 2300+ SAT, top 5%.
applied at the last minute. OOS
accepted at WUSL, UC Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD and many others.
i will be just fine.</p>
<p>so… 29-32% acceptance rate this year? approximately?</p>
<p>Waitlisted for Engineering. 2350 SAT, 800 on Math II and Physics, 3.78 UW. I guess the GPA was the killer, but I thought my upward trend would help. I’m feeling kind of crappy right now and I’m wishing I applied early. I would have gotten in, I think. But I was dumb and waited until February 1st to apply. My last decision will come in later today, and it’s Stanford, so… </p>
<p>But I’ve got a very nice scholarship at Case Western and I have a friend who loves it there, so maybe things aren’t so bad. 
I’ll try to make the best of whatever happens.</p>
<p>The waitlist is what you’re automatically placed on, and the extended waitlist is a condition that you can either accept or reject (so it’s whether or not you choose to stay on the waitlist).</p>
<p>I don’t know what recent stats are, but two years ago, 14,659 students were offered a spot on the waitlist, 4,498 accepted their spot, and 42 were eventually accepted. So this is about .3% of those originally offered a spot, and a little less than 1% of those who accepted a spot.</p>
