@morgangraf Please setup a separate thread for your “Chance Me.” We’d like to reserve this area for discussion, questions related to UMich or the admissions process or for students to chat about the impending release of decisions. Thanks!
And also, when the time comes, your decision with the basic info that I request you, the student, to post(OOS/instate, uwGPA, SAT/ACT score, school, etc.), which I’ll eventually tally after a few days.
@jayrow I agree with you and hope we’re right. Today would be nice. I don’t know why waiting at this point would work since one or two days doesn’t really give kids time to withdraw.
I think they would’ve posted by now on their social media
No status update
Well, looks like we’re not getting it today. See you tomorrow everybody!
@Classof2020Kid Can you explain to me the withdrawal process for U of M and the other schools? when is the deadline for other schools - i am not familiar with why you have so many days to withdraw from one school or another? Can you give me more details?
Thanks.
I have a very basic newbie type question. Would appreciate if someone answers this
When a student gets into ED in some college, does he/she HAVE TO withdraw from other colleges “well in advance”?
In other words, if someone got ED in CMU etc, would he/she have to withdraw from Michigan NOW?
(which would improve the chance of admission of all UMich applicants?)
@calcuttaboy2002 as far as I know if you apply somewhere Early Decision, you are telling that college that if you are accepted, you will enroll at that school. So, if you get into a school Early Decision, it is binding, and you are rejecting every other school’s offer for admission. If you have been accepted somewhere Early Decision, you must inform every other school that you have been accepted Early Decision somewhere else, and therefore have to withdraw your application (because you have committed yourself to another school). At this point, one withdrawn application wont make much of a difference for the rest of the students applying, just because there are so many different applications and spots available across the entire college.
I gotin last year on Wednesday, December 19, 2018 3pm
4:45 and still no release. Possibly a midnight release ??♂️
The enrollment connect portal now says this
“Early action decisions are currently being processed. You will receive an email when your decision has been released, no later than December 24th.
If circumstances prevent you from further considering the University of Michigan, please complete our Withdrawal Form to cancel your application.“
It’s going to be Wednesday or Friday-not tonight. They just changed the portal to allow ED admits from other schools the opportunity to withdrawal. Michigan gets more EA applicants than any other university. Give them a little time.
In the past, EA release has been 3:00 PM EST.
Unfortunately, u r probably correct.
Just a question about withdraw. So if people withdraw that have been accepted to their ED and michigan recieves this, do they add 1 more EA acceptance applicant to the EA pool? Or more simply, is the withdraw applicant acceptance given to another EA applicant?

@Questioning2772 Great question I’m not sure, but my guess would be the local AO would be notified. Let’s hope they then select another.
@tuxernie2002 it’s hard to say at Michigan, but certainly being from Chicago gives you a big advantage. I believe according to their admissions map there were 1,803 from your state. Way more than most!
@2022soon - where is the admissions map?
Good ACT, Solid GPA, weak ECs. I’d say fairly good chance, altho idk that much about UMich
Chance me OOS from Cali please lol
