Yes, LSA. My SAT scores were decent (2070) but I had an interesting hook. I started my own registered corporation which has brought in six figure revenues through the Internet.

I'm well aware that I am an anomaly. I'm still in shock myself.

Sorry to hear that all of you were waitlisted. Best of luck to you.

Here's my question...tens of thousands of applicants...ANYONE out and out rejected? It appears that U of M accepted like what 25% of it's applicants and another 72% were deferred (and moved on) or were waitlisted. I think the U of M "waitlist" means nothing this year as they obviously dumped most of their non-acceptees there to hedge their bets. The range of "waitlisted" candidtates is staggering.

Sorry to say, but it's just downright evil to WL so many people and fill them with hope. We've waited so long for an answer, and now we have to wait more

BTW, until when does UM set a concrete decision to the WLed people?

ya i was wondering when the waitlisted would here as well??....and they did reject some people- not everyone was waitlisted, but i agree many many were waitlisted.. this is unfair ....
and it's not really ethical to accept an offer from another school (UVa) and then tell them- "oh i got into michigan..cya.."...so i hate being on the waitlist!!

I think your ACT killed you

johndoe: How would you explain, then, the people on page 1 and 2 of this thread with ACT 32, 33, 34 who were waitlisted?

Anyone apply to their college of Kinesiology? Just curious, because I did. Hopefully, it's one of the lesser competetive schools--unless I'm completely mistaken.

rodney

Yes, it is known to be less competitive for admittance....Two students in our OOS high school were admitted with 3.3-3.5 UW GPA's.....

Kinesiology is not one of the lesser competitive schools. There are fewer spots in Kines as admissions reserves spots in the Sport Management program for athletes.

CanuckBreakwater

Thanks for the info. Actually, I applied as a Movement Science major, not Sports Management, as I am not interested in a career directly related to prof. sports. At this point I am not hell-bent on going to UMich; the wait has been too long and I've already accepted my top college. I hope better outcomes for those on the waitlist (is that number in the thousands? wow).

myboyhenne

I got into the Sports Management major: GPA = 4.2, SAT: 1840, ACT: 26, Teacher Rec: Amazing, Counselor Rec: Amazing, Great Essays and ECs. Also, OOS from California, applied Early Response.

I did not think I would get in simply because my test scores were low.

Make sure you remember that you did not get into the Sport Management major, rather you got into the school of Kinesiology. The Sport Management major has a second level, your performance at Michigan will determine whether or not you get into the second level.

to be honest, i've completely stopped caring about UMich after i was deferred early, and i'm not quite sure why i applied, oh well

OOS, LSA
32
3.7-3.85 ish?? really really good senior year grades though

to be honest, i'm glad i'm waitlisted. i've now set a record: waitlisted at seven schools!

dietcoke14
