Sorry, I don’t have that info.
Upfront, I don’t know much about the program. And I honestly don’t know whether you’ve been invited or not. Zero clue. Having said that, there are a few admitted students that are invited to start their freshman year in the summer before Fall school year. Why? Their stats are a bit lower than the rest of the admitted freshman class, possibly some are First Gen or come from an underprivileged background. Assuming they accept the offer, these students arrive for the summer term, before the Fall semester, in order to get them acclimated to the campus and rigor of UMich and get these students off to an excellent start to their college experience.
Again, this program exists at UMich, but I don’t have the faintest clue if you’ve been invited.
Not correct. Transferring within LSA is easy. UMich stated that 75-85% of UMich freshman change their majors at least once. Transferring between LSA and CoE is relatively simple, as long as you have met the basic CoE requirements.
Now, transferring into Ross is difficult. But they do accept about 100-125 cross-school transfers each year. You could also apply, prior to your Junior year, and get a minor degree from Ross.
From my perspective, Central Campus is NOT crowded, unless there’s a special event weekend, like move-in. I attended the Notre Dame-Michigan game and ND fans show up in droves. A2 didn’t feel crowded even that weekend.
UMich has one of the smallest student-teacher ratios for public schools at 15:1. For comparison, Cal (Berkeley) and UCLA are 20:1. As for competitive, my STEM kid disagrees. A very collaborative environment.
One more day gone … now, we are officially into Thursday.
This forum probably skews a little towards OOS applicants. So if this you - this post isn’t going to be that interesting. Regarding in state admission chances, it is interesting to look at the statewide SAT report https://reports.collegeboard.org/pdf/2019-michigan-sat-suite-assessments-annual-report.pdf . Just about every HS student in MI takes the SAT now. In 2018 12,500 in state students applied and 5,151 were admitted. You can compare this to the SAT bands where in the entire state of MI just 4,352 students had scores 1400-1600 and 16,123 students had an SAT between 1200-1390. The limited pool makes it easier to figure out your chances. Naively approximating just about every student with 1300+ could have applied and just about every student with 1380+ could be admitted. Of course MI has holistic admissions. DS knows applicants from prior years that did not get in with 1400+ SAT - but this correlated with applying to engineering school, tanked junior year grades, or writing essays in one night. It is also reasonable to assume that some of the 1400+ MI SAT pool applies ED somewhere else and drops out of the pool. Both allow MI to admit some athletes and diversity students whose top 5% SAT band is somewhat lower. The point is that if you are in-state and you fit the 25%-75% SAT band as stated there is no randomly choosing between equally acceptable candidates. If you don’t have a carbuncle on your application and you fit the profile, there is room for you in state. Which is probably something a lot of people guessed, but I found it interesting one could confirm it by correlating the published SAT stats for MI.
Anecdotally DS friends in state in past years who admitted they wrote poor “Why Michigan” essays were rejected even though they had 1450+ SAT. So if you can’t answer that question, I think UofM may be happy to send you to Sparty who doesn’t ask that question and make room for someone who put some research into answering the question.
The why Michigan essay is undoubtedly even more important for OOS.
Well…it is another day gone. Tomorrow. 3 p.m. eastern. Mrs. Block WILL be here. Attendance on this forum IS mandatory. 
Good luck to you all! And don’t fret, whether you are a Christian/atheist whatever…GOD HAS A PLAN <3

Hey guys! I’m new to this, but I have been stalking this thread for a while now. I logged into my portal & it says that i submitted another application yesterday for Summer '20. So, now it says that I have two applications in progress. HOWEVER, this is impossible because I never asked for the Summer term & I didn’t even log into my portal yesterday since I was out all day. I have a theory that I will share if it turns out to be correct for future reference, but I just want to know if this is happening to anyone else. Please and thank you!
This is good news!!! Sounds like you are in!!!
Will the email be sent at 3pm? Or is that when the portal will be updated?
Email that your portal has been updated will probably go out a few hours after your decision is available. Nobody knows if uMich is going to post something though.
This is asked repeatedly. Make sure to set up your email to accept your acceptance as in the link. Check your spam folders also. Last year many didn’t find out till they did this.
“Your University of Michigan Application Status Has Been Updated.” This is the heading of the email that you are looking for. Good luck. ???.
So I have a question. I logged into the application status page from the internet. It was the first one that popped up when I searched UMich Application Status. It says my major is LSA Undeclared, but I am 1000% sure I put my intended major in on Common App. I even checked on Common App and it said my intended major under Areas of Interest in the UMich specific section. The same thing is happening to a few of my friends. Does anyone know why?
Here’s the proposed answer http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-michigan-ann-arbor/1861469-lsa-undeclared.html
You don’t have a major until you declare one in sophomore year.
It’s on the Michigan site but can’t find it right now

I’m here Professor @cadavisj10 !

They want to know what your going into but actually declaring happens after you have the credits for it.
Mrs. Block… As in “Block M”?!
You can list an area of academic interest on the application, but all LSA and Engineering students enter as undecided. They don’t admit by major to LSA and Engineering. After entering the university students get to declare their major towards the end of their first or second year.

Interesting. My in-state son (UM freshman this year) submitted his ACT score, but I take your point. Based on the other kids from his class who were accepted, I would guess your assumptions are accurate. And although the admissions are holistic, we were surprised that a couple of the kids who were accepted hadn’t taken all the AP classes offered (only 5). That was a point that was stressed a lot in the UM info presentation.
Can someone call and ask if they are going to release decisions today so we can stop stressing out all day
