University of Michigan Decisions

<p>I have a question. I havent been doing good in one of my classes this semester, should I W or get a C? Will the W look horrible to umich and future law schools?</p>

<p>Since you're already admitted, they won't revoke your admission w/ a C. I don't think W's look bad unless you have a lot of them. I have one on my first semester at college but I didn't know it would show up on my transcript at the time (since I dropped the class in the second week). And for law school, they won't care at all about the W and I don't think they'll consider the C because they probably just consider your GPA at Umich. My brother is in law school now and he would tell you that you should start studying for your LSAT's right now. They're much more important to law school admissions then the SAT's are in undergrad admissions. Like for many HS grads, they can get into top colleges with 4.0 gpa's and mediocre SAT's, but for law school, if you don't have a high LSAT, you won't get into the top law schools regardless of your gpa.</p>

<p>Hey I just checked Wolverine Access online today and there was a Finaid link but there was no INFO AVAILABLE and the APP IS COMPLETE is still there... I hope this is a good sign. Maybe CINCO DE MAYO (tomorrow) will be a good day for me when I check the mail.</p>

<p>Thank you. I hope you get in, that would be so awesome... I talked to my professor today and he said if I do well on the final, I would have a B...so i'm happy... I was just stressing.</p>

<p>Well, I finally gave them a call in desperation. I applied to the College of Engineering, but I couldn't find their number so I just called the Office of Admissions. The lady there looked up my file and said that a decision was mailed APRIL 5TH... and that the deadline to register was May 1st.</p>

<p>I told her I hadn't gotten anything, so she transferred me to the College of Engineering. While I was on hold, my heart was pumping >_<</p>

<p>And then the College of Engineering lady said that they haven't even sent out anything to me yet. Supposedly, they've made the decision but still not mailed it out. Sometime next week, she says.</p>

<p>They have a decision but they cant tell me over the phone, and they take forever to mail it out. Emotional Terrorists, I SWEAR!</p>

<p>The cat is OUTTTTTA the bag! I got my acceptance letter to the LSA for Fall '05 today (it's dated May 4th). - look forward to seeing you all in September.</p>

<p>whoa, its actually dated 5-5-5. (But the decision was made on the 4th).</p>

<p>congrats~ see you there</p>

<p>Email I just got:</p>

<p>I apologize for the delay in getting your letter sent to you. We recently processed our decisions and letters were sent out today. Therefore, you should be receiving notification within the next few days. If you do not receive your letter within a week, let me know.</p>

<p>No, there is no way to check your admissions decision online.</p>

<p>Let me know if you have any further questions.</p>

<p>Oh man, I called UofM today and the guy told me the decision was made yesterday and I should hear within the next few days! I'm not going to be able to sleep these next few days!</p>

<p>Anyone know about how long it takes to get your letter after they have made a decision?</p>

<p>They told me a decision was made on May 4th (a wednesday) when I called them. I got the decision May 9th (the following monday) and the letter was dated 5-5-05. I'm in-state. I'm surprised to see that they aren't done with all the decisions yet. Hope you all get your PACKAGE.</p>

<p>Any of you guys that are going sign up for housing yet or are you staying off campus?</p>

<p>I just filled out my housing form yesturday. it's kinda expensive haha.</p>

<p>I'm still waiting on my letter, but I just checked the wolverine access and the "application is complete" is gone BUT on the finaid award link no awards have shown up or anything and I know someone said they started to show up for them before they got their letter.....should I start expecting a no when I get the letter?</p>

<p>I don't want to be the bird of bad omen but the finaid link should CHANGE if you're accepted. I didn't get any awards but there is a 2005 and 2006 column that appeared. As for the other stuff, I just signed up for Transfer Orientation on Aug 11. I check the housing box on the application but I haven't received any other stuff from Umich yet. It'll probably come in the next few weeks. I want to go to a dorm with students that are new to the university (new transfers or even freshmen). However, if I go on-campus it probably wouldn't be a prudent decision to take my car since there is no guaranteed parking (which sucks). And 7k for room/boarding...yeah, I almost just wanna buy a $700 van to sleep down by the river instead.</p>

<p>Thanks for the info Kman. Did the 2005 and 2006 columns appear before you got your packet?</p>

<p>Also when I click on view applacation status is still says application is complete, does that mean anything?</p>

<p>I saw the finaid columns a few days before the packet came. The "application is complete" was still there for awhile...now it says "you have accepted admission to the university." Best wishes for ya wherever you decide to go.</p>

<p>Got my letter today, didn't get in. </p>

<p>I'll have to try for winter, I'll only be a soph. this fall so I still have a few chances left.</p>

<p>Sorry 'bout the letter - hope you get in next time.</p>

<p>I got the housing and credit evaluation stuff today. I'll probably get a double but I'm not sure what hall to choose....Baits, Northwood 3 or Oxford</p>
