According to the U of M message/website wait listed students will be notified by April 15th of their acceptance decisions. Does this seem fast to anyone else. I hope its accurate but its just 2 weeks after decision deadline and before students need to commit to schools. While researching wait listings in general it seems like most schools don’t notify wait listed students well into May, June or even July. My d is planning on calling admissions this afternoon to get more information but I’m curious if anyone has any thoughts on this or if anyone has additional information.
The letter we received in the mail said, my D (who was accepted for second choice but waitlisted for first choice) would be notified by June 15th.
Well that’s interesting. I double checked both her tracker and the link they provided to the website and both said April 15th. We haven’t received any additional letters or communication.
@goitsme48 Did you contact the admissions office before you received the letter? I was also waitlisted at my first choice but they never communicated this to me.
Was she waitlisted for both her choices? What school(s) did she apply?
For us, the tracker shows the school she was accepted (CLA - her second choice). That could be the reason.
She only applied to CLA. and was wait listed.
@JohnStamoskian1, I forgot to mention about WL appeal. My D appealed her WL and it was denied via letter where they mentioned the June 15th date.
From what I hear, the chances of getting out of WL are very less, escpecially from CSOM, CSC, CBS.
I was just notified on the application travker that I am waitlisted…did not get any letter in the mail either
@goitsme48 I also got into CLA as my second choice. I haven’t appealed but updated them with my first semester grades. No big deal if I don’t get in, I’ll still attend the U. What I’m hoping is that space will open up as the top-notch applicants that were accepted to CBS, CSOM, and CSE eventually accept their offers at other quality schools.
How do you know if you got accepted to your second choice? Does it say in the tracker?
@BuffetBoi536 If you log in to MyU, click key links, student center, and then communications center on the far right side of the page. You’ll be able to see if you were admitted to your first or second choice. It only updates when the tracker changes.
I was waitlisted from CEHD and CLA. My GPA is 3.4 with 5 APs. My ACT is 28. The average act for CEHD is I believe around 24 so I’m somewhat disappointed… didn’t submit any letters of recommendation though so maybe that was my downfall
How come it doesnt tell me which college i got waitlisted from? I applied to CLA and College of Design, but my tracker just says i got waitlisted and doesnt tell me any specifics. My communication center doesnt say either. Is it just safe to assume i got waitlisted from both?
