<p>I have kind of a unique situation and I was wondering if anybody had any advice or perspective on it.</p>
<p>I am from Ann Arbor and applied to U of M fall 2009 with a 3.5 HS GPA, not many extracurriculars, etc., and got waitlisted.</p>
<p>After I was not let in off the waitlist, I enrolled at Eastern Michigan University and took a super-light load my first two semesters there - I only had 24 credits by the end of the year, but a 3.8 GPA. At the urging of some family friends in UMich admissions, I reapplied for Winter 2011 transfer and was rejected, but told that if I wanted to reapply, all I had to do was send a note to them asking to have my application reevaluated.</p>
<p>I think it was the 9 and 12 credit semesters my first year that caused me to get rejected for winter. Fall 2010 semester I took 17 credits and right now, I have a 3.86 GPA, and will have 56 credits by the end of this semester. I applied on 1/26 for a "Transfer Update Request", as instructed by a UMich Admissions Counselor. I didn't have to formally reapply or fill out any applications, write any essays, etc. - I just had my Fall 2010 grades sent, and now on Wolverine Access it says that my Fall 2011 application is complete.</p>
<p>I am kind of scared, because I have never heard of anyone having to reapply this way. Has anyone ever known anyone who's gone through this particular process, rather than the traditional reapplication?</p>
<p>Also, I know that some admissions decisions were released on 2/8. If I didn't hear, does that mean I probably didn't get in?</p>
