My daughter applied to the pre-admit program at the school of education. Does anyone know if the other (not Ross) and also smaller pre-admit programs: education, architecture, pharmacy, and information also send out acceptances on the same schedule as Ross? (Or what the pattern was in past years?)
@jayrow I’d suggest calling admissions or the School of Education.
Just a hunch, but since it’s a pre-admit program, I’d bet they follow the pattern of CoE, LSA and Ross. But, there’s always an admit here or there in between those big waves too.
Idk which thread to ask these so im just putting it here.
Do OOS students ever receive instate tuition?
Is merit common for OOS? Separate from the scholarship I applied for? also when will i know if i got any?
What are the different amounts for the 4-year renewable scholarship?
Basically super happy i got into my dream school but its 66k and thats just not realistic. also i applied for other scholarships separately, im just wondering what umich might give me.

No to instate. Merit basically is for instate and very few. They do help with OOS financial aid. No one knows your situation and not know how much you will get. Speak to financial aid
If it’s alright for me to ask, would anyone who was accepted mind giving their stats? I am a U of M hopeful and I want to see how I compare.
If that’s weird to ask, then forget about it

There’s your comparison
Look on the EA thread, a lot of ppl accepted posted stats
Wow…that’s really shocking for me. 14.8K students granted admission and only 6.8K accepted? So 8K students even after getting admitted to Michigan went somewhere else? I understand people treating some other Unis as safety colleges but so many rejecting(?) Michigan is surprising. I understand some kids may have preferred Ivies/other top schools for but 8K?!? Here I am thinking Michigan is the next best thing since sliced bread.
OTOH, it’s really surprising to see Unis giving out way too many offers than they can accommodate. What if all or most of those 14.8K kids decide to join Michigan (mathematically possible scenario, if not realistically). Michigan will have to go out constructing extra buildings for class rooms/dorms etc.!
@KenJennings. Just a Dad with a kid at Michigan. My wife is an alum. When she applied it was the only university she applied to. Now kids apply to 15-20 school is common place. Add to that affordability. Many of those families shouldn’t of applied to begin with. Add to that the common home schools they are applying to and accepted. Besides the Ivys… Northwestern, Vanderbilt, Wash U, UTexas Austin, Georgia Tech, Berkeley, etc etc. It adds up.
It would be interesting to know why of course.
Many other schools have this problem also but… There are a multitude of new buildings going up at Michigan. I honestly would not be surprised in the next 5 years to see a new dorm or enlarged section going up. New apartment building go up and get filled quickly.
And yet, it’s STILL at Top 25 university! Their 46% yield is at least a recent all time high. Remember, almost half (52%/48%) the student body is from OOS or international. Whereas some places like UCLA or Cal caps their OOS admissions at 25%, IIRC.
And trust me, there’s plenty of new construction taking place at UMich. They just reopened the Student Union about a week ago, after a 2-year remodel, a new biological sciences building opened in 2018/2019 and UMich is remodeling several buildings on Central Campus for more classrooms.

@sushiritto. Damn I’m good… Lol ?
I see UMich calendar shows Aug 28 as move in date for freshman students and Aug 31 classes begin.
so weekend of Aug 29,30 is the only time for settling in dorm. Is that enough time? I m a first timer at this and we are OOS . Can anyone pls share their experience and what to expect?
@Akar7878… No its not… Lol… ?They normally start “after” labor day. Something tells me that week of classes will be very soft. There are going to be activities daily and nightly the whole week unless they do a completely different schedule.
The first week is usually a really fun time. There will be dorm activities to get to know each other and highly recommend doing anything associated with it. Force your kid to go even to the welcome speech they all go together. They have clubapoluzza or whatever they call it and all the clubs have table with sign in sheets and information. Make them go to this and see which 1600 clubs /organizations sound cool and interesting. There will actually be a daily schedule of events. Great time to get out of their comfort zone and just go and do. It’s a fun time.
I was accepted EA for class of 2024 too and I might get rescinded for a D I got in AP Computer Science first semester. I already talked to my admissions counselor and stuff but does anyone know what would happen if I committed to the university and then they choose to rescind me (in mid July)? Like would I be able to go other schools I was accepted to even though May 1st would have passed?
It would be very difficult. Past May 1st their looking at waitist kids depending on the school.
I checked my financial aid on Wolverine and it said that I got 0.00 in aid. Is this my final offer? Because if so, I cannot afford to attend the university, as my parents have to pay for my sister as well. It sucks that I’ve worked so hard all of high school only to be disappointed.
Have your parents call financial aid. Btw if 2 in college at the same time that can actually help you. Sometimes the financial aid portals aren’t updated.
The way it worked for us was we were given a move in date either on the Wednesday, Thursday or Friday before Labor Day weekend. UMich and A2 is a well organized well run machine. First, the police make the streets around the dorm one way. There’s no rush, you get like 30 minutes to park in front. As you park at the curb, they have students helping you move in with these huge blue carts. You can send stuff there to be picked up at a central location and/or go to Bed Bath & Beyond (or Target) to buy what you need. BTW, if you want to move in earlier, just become one of those student move in volunteers. They’re allowed to move in early in order to help the others at the end of the week.
Also, there are stores like CVS and Walgreens within walking distance, if you’re placed on Central Campus. And you will get an email from a business that rents micro fridges and microwaves. At the end of the year, you clean it and leave it. They come in later and pick it up. It’s really a slam dunk process.
The only hard part for us was lofting the bed. We mid level lofted, so my kid could plastic drawers underneath. The bed is heavy and you need at least two people to get the bed up and into the pegs of the dressers on either side.
Classes begin the Tuesday after Labor Day.
@sushiritto. Not this year. I can’t copy it for some reason. It starts before in 2020
