^^^This.
The “waves,” as we refer to them, are generally the RD releases on or about 2/1, 3/1 and 4/1, where we see 30-50 students post their decisions here on CC. But it just depends on how you define a “wave.”
I would call those posting a decision or a couple decisions now in June, “ripples on the pond.” 
We can’t make any presumptions as to how Umich plans on doing things. As many people have previously said, this year has been very strange overall, and for all we know, they could release one last big wave. A more likely possibility is that they follow a sort of rolling method, as they take small clusters of students off the waitlist at the time. All we can do is keep hoping as we wait.
Do you think if they are saying June 30 for a response that they will reject those people. The people being told August will stay on the waitlist?
So I guess that’s it. That’s the end of my failure admission season. Bye bye guys.
I just spoke to U of M office of admission. They confirmed final decision will be released by June 30th. According to the admission officer they have given several students extensions, I guess to confirm admission. They are waiting on the final count. I was also told they take 50.5% instate students and 49.5% out of state every year. There goal is to keep that ration however given unusual circumstance not sure what the final percentage will be.
My daughter just spoke to her Admissions Officer - the one who ALWAYS emails/calls back. My daughter spoke with her and the AO says “Yes, they will be taking people off the waitlist until June 30.”
My daughter’s questions was - “Are they still taking people off the waitlist?”
My daughter did not ask any other question.
Best of luck to everyone!
Some schools, such as Ross will notify waitlist students by August this year.
Nice. Again, never said they wouldn’t just not in waves per se. Trust me, I hope everyone on here gets what they want ?.
@Knowstuff - I don’t know about “waves” but she said they will be taking students off the waitlist up to June 30.
I personally don’t think my daughter will come off - because she needs too much financial aid - but that is what the AO said.
What are they gonna do with all the freshman on campus?
That is a good question @MickeyEarwax. But I know on North campus they were supposed to knock down Northwoods 2/3 and now they are not. Theory is they might use those 350 spots. Also they only guarantee Freshman housing. Many live off campus. There are also new spots on Central campus.
So that article basically says it’s over. Unless there is real summer melt, then they’ve got their numbers. Very sad.
yeah they are done for sure, sucks 
don’t get why they are waiting until june 30 to make a decision then. they clearly have way more than enough…
While the article is a negative, I think we just have to be patient. If there were zero chance, we’d have been told by now. This process is not for the faint of heart. Hang in there and hope for the best. Good luck and if it doesn’t happen, at least you’ll have gone to the mat. Peace.
Ironically, the worst case scenario (no on campus activities this fall) may be the best case for those on the waitlist. I imagine there will be a flood of deferrals or straight out declines under this scenario.
From beginning of April till now, did you hear some students are admitted from waiting list?
Or the result will be released together at June 30?
well the last ‘wave’ or large number of students admitted off the waitlist was April 23. then, haven’t really heard much just a couple here and there
