Hm weird, thought they’re not taking instate off
when do you guys think the next people will hear by? hasn’t it been almost a month since anyone was accepted off of the waitlist
@rafanadal1234 no I think they are taking more instate with the 20% increase in class size. In both cases with international students uncertain I would expect OOS students will be taken off the waitlist.
Also, as more of the top schools that compete with Michigan take more students off their waitlist it will impact Michigan’s summer melt
Wasnt the 20% increase with the initial offers to account for the concerns about covid-19? Not that they wanted an extra 20% when all is said and done?
i don’t believe that in-staters will be receiving more offers than OOS, just due to the fact that IS pays less money.
Right
And didn’t some one called the admission office and they told him that they’re not likely to take IS off for now?
It’s not really 20% more since in the article it says it is 20% more students compared to 6 years ago
In an interview with CNBC, the President of UMich said admission increased by 5% compared to last year
They are over enrolling this freshman class. If they lose some over the summer then they will be fine. If they lose to many then they will go back to the wait list. So do they have their class yet. Well. Yes. Will they lose enough to go to the wait list… That is the question. They already know they will have less internationals so they made that up with taking more kids plus using the wait list.
Many kids now are debating on which 2 schools to go to. June 1st is a deadline that was moved by many schools. Mid June they should know what they are doing. They could easily just have freshman in dorms and everyone else off campus housing. So they should be good there.
Word is they will keep the apartments on North campus, Northwoods 2/3 that they were going to demolish. That is 350 spots right there.
Keep in mind, Michigan is a demand school under just about any situation. People will find a way.
Yea that’s what I’m thinking
Yes. I think they will fill in as needed to replace those who decide to pick their other option(s). I don’t see big waves at this point.
I do not think they will be done just yet, especially when their main competition such as UCLA are still taking off the list. However, yes, it won’t be waves now, but rather rolling admissions, as they will take small groups off. As for IS or OOS, there is no definite way to gauge how they will be taking groups off the waitlist.
Dear Michigan, please accept me.
How can you interpret “on track to meet its goal” to mean they have already met their goal? “On track to” literally means they haven’t met the goal yet, but believe they will.
No school is going to say anything is definite this year but they over enrolled by a large number. In past year https://umich.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2081/~/faqs-for-waitlisted-applicants
So they over enrolled by a number that is close to their 2017/18 numbers. At most schools the requests for gap /deferred admission is actually not up or that high… Yet
At least in my region as long as things seem to be improving with covid, the families I have talked to with incoming freshman are just planning on sticking it out and going. In essence Michigan has planned on 350 kids to back out or there about and if that happens they are still fine with their numbers.
They are definitely over enrolling, but there is no one over here who can make any definitive statements about how much, or to what extent will they continue taking students off the waitlist. For all we know, they aren’t anywhere near finished yet.
they told me they are still evaluating deposits. i have a feeling that because other top schools are still using the waitlist, michigan will lose a decent amount of kids.
I feel like Michigan is waiting for other schools to finish using their waitlist so that people wouldn’t leave once they receive a better offer
I really hope a decent amount of kids leave for a better one loll
meaning more chance for us >:)
@Maduka that would be nice lol
