U-M Admissions just tweeted “All decisions will be released by mid-April, that is all the information we can provide at this time.” It would appear that they may be overwhelmed by the number of applicants.
@gdavidgray - my opinion is there will be release today since no acceptances came out last week. But, with an n=1, there is not enough sample size to reach statistical significance.
@usma87 u in ap stat?
@Lemonade22 - Nope - trying to pull the chain of any stats/STEM types. As my screen name suggests, I graduated from West Point in the dark ages - 1987.
I just got waitlisted by UW Madison. Should I give up on UMich? lol
@neutreino Where can I view admission decisions for UW Madison? I have been deferred from EA round. Is it out for RD yet?
@neutreino… Nope, don’t give up. One has little to do with the other.
I’ve heard so much about how important “demonstrated interest” is to U Mich. Seems hard to believe that there isn’t some slight advantage to having applied EA and been deferred, as opposed to RD, no? I understand all those apps are considered all together as one pool, but those who applied Early have clearly demonstrated extra interest. Wonder why UMich doesn’t add ED option?
Stop saying such things to the thousands reading this page.
@dcb036 You are over interpreting the tweet and spreading a rumor. The tweet just reiterate one of their official response to tell people to wait for the notice. It does not say there is a delay. The mid-April guarantee has been on their FAQ for years, so as the wording about “deferred students will get a decision by early April”.
@Calima ED does not make sense for a school that so not meet the need for all. There will be a lot of withdrawal for financial reason and defeat the purpose of ED. EA applicants got their perks with two chances for admission, eligible for scholarships, and potentially early admission already. Showing interest by applying early is a lot less important than showing interest in the application per se. There are plenty of students applied EA without a real interest which is one of the reasons for the deferral.
on MyUW. Click view notification.
Anyone know when they release decisions?
oh
Exactly!
Waiting is so stressful omg. Anyone have a guess as to when more decisions will be released?
