Applied EA to the School of Nursing. Deferred. I sent in my sem 1 transcript on monday. Michigan is my top choice…dream school in fact. Grew up visiting the campus whenever I had the chance. Anyone else applied EA to the SoN and deferred? I have been so antsy the last month and a half.
Hey! @questions124 Congrats on your acceptance first and foremost…do you think sending in another LoCL will help? I sent one back in early January basically stating I’m still interesting…currently debating whether or not I should send another saying I sent in my transcript (our sem just ended a week ago), i added 2 dual enrollment classes onto my schedule (I was in 3 AP classes this year already)…wasnt sure if this will help me but it sure won’t do any harm right?
“Michigan is definitely focused on yield protection.”
Once again if Michigan were “definitely focused on yield protection,” these students would be rejected and not deferred.
Not necessarily - they may wait until the ED rounds are completed to make sure students are still interested.
@Deaston Again, their yield is going up every year. Yield is not their concern at all as they can easily admit more from the wait list which is rarely needed. In contrary, having a higher than expected yield has led to over enrollment in recent years.
Has anyone’s “view decision” tab unhighlighted?
Double post deleted.
@billcsho So, admitting fewer students early = enrollment protection?
Anyone’s decision tab gone?
should i resend my loci if he never responded? or what should i do… its been 2 weeks
@collegecrazy432 I would not resend. Check your spam for a response. Assume it went through and has been read.
Did anyone’s view decision tab go away yet?
May be they aren’t releasing any tonight because they all probably left early in prep for the heavy snow that is forecast in Ann Arbor… Just speculating…
Yeah I live right outside Ann Arbor and there is a winter storm warning out lasting through Saturday so it’s possible there will be no decisions released tonight or even tomorrow for that matter…
@Quantjock Don’t know what you are talking about.
@billcsho You stated “Again, their yield is going up every year. Yield is not their concern at all as they can easily admit more from the wait list which is rarely needed. In contrary, having a higher than expected yield has led to over enrollment in recent years.” If UM’s yield on admitted students is going up and over-enrollment is an issue, then they would have to admit fewer total students this year vs last year. UM is protecting their enrollment numbers. Simple math.
@Quantjock We are discussing about “yield protection”. Don’t know what you mean by protecting “enrollment numbers” if there is such a thing. They have a target class size for freshmen. It increased from ~6200 in early 2010s to ~7000 last year. It is mostly limited by the dorm space. When the enrollment suddenly jumped up to over 6500 in 2014 due to a ~2% increase in yield (5% increase in freshmen) there were ~300 short in dorm space and they needed to offer luxury apartment to return students to trade with their dorm space for freshmen. After that they did enroll less students a couple years ago and planned to used the wait list more, however, the yield rate went higher again that they did not need to admit much from the wait list at the end. Last year, they increased the freshmen class size, so it was not a problem. The would adjust the admission number every year based on the latest yield rate. There is nothing needed to be “protected”. They have ~10,000 applicants on the waitlist every year to fill up the slots if ever needed.
this is ridiculous. at least schools like UT-Austin told deferred applicants when they were hearing back. can’t handle the waiting game at this point. sending a follow up e-mail tomorrow to explain poor first semester grades, as my director of guidance told me I have nothing to lose at this point. this is just ridiculous.
At what time were the decisions released last wave?
@Jbob1946 Based on the posts on this forum, they were released on the portals at 12am EST. So, I am guessing a lot of people will be staying up hoping that another wave will be tonight.
