| liberate: What school at UMich are you so blessed to be accepted at? I'm assuming it's not LSA; sorry, but that was what my post was referring to and judging by the remainder of the posts on this thread, it seems to be holding true.....
And if you were accepted to LSA, you should be very proud, but you are an anomoly...Congrats! | |

| I got waitlisted today, here're my stats:
SAT : 1940 , 590 CR, 710 M, 640 WR
SAT II : 790 math II, 750 chem
UW gpa : 3.85
Residency : OOS, overseas.
Essays : Decent.
Recs : Decent.
Glad I was waitlisted, I was expecting a rejection.
A friend of mine (applied as international, non-us citizen) got waitlisted too, but she rejected the WL offer cause she made Georgetown(her #1)
stats were:
2240 SAT
800/790/760 SAT 2
4.0
top 5%
excellent essays/recs.
We were really shocked...She made Georgetown/Carnegie/Stern | |

| This may be a hard notion to support, but is it fair to say UPenn is more willing to accept internationals than HYP or other brand-name schools? From feedback, that is the impression I am getting. | |

| UPenn stats will be in at UM for sure. I don't think you can really compare UM to UPenn or HYPS. | |

| Applied to LSA with a 2000 SAT and 3.8 weighted GPA, I've taken 6 APs total and nearly all my other classes were Honors. Got a 630 Bio SAT II, then a 680 on the US History and I think a 620 on Lit.
I don't really remember by other essays, but they probably weren't that great. By the time I applied to UMich (I submitted the app on 2/1 but didn't even pay for it until 2/6) I'd already applied to all my other schools and outside of my standard personal statement (which was I think 200something words, much shorter than the UMich recommended 500 or whatever) I really did the bare minimum for pretty much the whole app.
No extracurriculars except for two clubs and a year of journalism (plus two hours of community service), I had two great teacher recommendations and I guess my counselor recommendation was good as well. I'm black, a girl, and out of state at a charter school in LA.
Don't really care that I got waitlisted though, I already submitted my deposit to attend NYU in the fall, and got into all my other schools (Boston U, Sarah Lawrence, Bryn Mawr, Fordham, Northeastern). | |
