University of Michigan Waitlist 2024

@dep123 yea now that I am reading over your message again I take back what I say- that can definitely be something that hurts you rather than helps you… I’m sure they are trying to limit the amount of money they have to give out this year and basically saying that you have a full scholarship will not help your chances

ok thanks for the advice! @schmendy27

@chicagokid756 - I have been saying repeatedly what you just posted. The AO told my daughter that they will be taking students off the waitlist up to mid-June. I am happy the Admissions office also confirmed that.

I never doubted you, I just wanted to call for myself and provide the information.

I believe this year there may be waitlist offers into July given the highly fluid and developing situation.

Dear Michigan, please accept me.

@chicagokid756 - No worries. Some people here were saying it was a generic answer - but I didn’t think so. I think the AO was being honest.

For people still waiting this article should be helpful. Michigan is aiming for a larger class of 7200.

do you think they already reached this number?

I wanted to point out that, according to the published NACAC list, Michigan State is still looking at applications for their freshman class. I’m wondering what, if any, impact UMich’s in-state rival/neighbor has on their own freshman class.

nice

“The University is on track to meet its goal of 7,182 new first-year students for the fall semester with no more requests for deferrals or gap years than in previous admission cycles, Fitzgerald said. But as Fonash and Fitzgerald both noted, there could be some change over summer as more information about the fall semester becomes available.”

so does this mean they already have the 7200 spots filled?

idk

How could they be saying they are losing so much money, and also be saying they are on track for the 7200 as planned? Are the losses related to current shutdown only?

The losses are primarily related to the hospital.

^^^This. IIRC, the UM President mentioned that in the CNBC interview.

It’s an article to give them a positive spin. I doubt they have a full class. Keep in mind Michigan is 50% out of state. They can’t afford being the same class as last year with less OOS students so that’s why the class is up 20% (more instate). The melt for most schools will only hit in July/ August as most hope that they will be on track to attend (parents back at work, corona gone or international students able to get visas.) keep in mind deferment might start later in the summer so putting your deposit and then defering might be a headache for most top schools.

we also forget that a lot of students will not be able to come back either because they left the US or parents can’t afford it.

As for Michigan state they did announce a higher instate depositing but that only works if Michigan doesn’t go after instate students from the waitlist who might in the past not have gotten in.

Class size increase will be a headache to a lot of regional state schools as the flagship campuses take in more instate students.

@airway1 are you saying that Michigan may be more inclined to take in-state students off of the waitlist to out-compete with other schools in Michigan?
