Colleges & Universities University of Michigan

also COE

1082

Here is my prediction - some with “X” against final transcript will get accepted and some will get deferred/rejected. Some with no “final transcript” line with get accepted and some will get deferred/rejected. :smiley:

1083

We are in-state and do not have an X. I did see ONE person earlier from in-state says they DO have an X. It is the only in-state one I saw.
But this forum is heavy for OOS peeps
 Not sure what to think about that.

1084

This just gave me hope

1085

If it doesn’t come out today imagine how mad this thread will be :neutral:

35 ACT, 4.00 GPA, SAT Math Level II - 800. In state, and I have no X or final transcript line!!!

1088

Agree. Everyone has been saying out of state is tough, but here is instate with great stats, but no X. I bet it means nothing.

1089

Same, I have a 33, 3.95, in state, coe, i really hope I dont get rejected

1090

can I just say this “x” thing is a load of crap who came up with this until it comes from the school then we don’t know anything

1091

People disagree, but I think Michigan practices yield protection for EA admission, meaning, if they think you are using Michigan as a safety school, they defer, even if (or especially because) you have perfect stats.

1092

In-state with these stats should be automatic.

1093

@maglor1 in my opinion some of those 1300-1400 kids have a good chance of being accepted because UM knows they will submit a deposit and increase the yield.

1094

my expectation was to be deferred for yield protection reasons given everything I read about Michigan OOS applicants. I have the X, though. Makes me think the X doesn’t mean much, because I still expect a deferral.

1095

Everyone, look at these stats - no way he/she will get a rejection considering in state and this poster doesn’t see a final transcript line. Bogus theory proved!!!

1096

IN STATE
ACT: 34
GPA: 4.23 Rank 11/~450
ECs: 2 Varsity Sports Captain, Run lawn care business, church youth group does a lot of volunteering, NHS

I have an X. It doesn’t mean anything.

1097

True
but this doesn’t apply for in state - so in state people not having the x nullifies the theory
or maybe im just biased because font have an x
wishful thinking haha

1098

Ok but here are my thoughts. Why would there be a space for a final transcript if you were accepted? Wouldn’t having that mean deferral because when you are deferred, they require your final (midterm) grades? And then if it doesn’t have an X or even a final transcript row, wouldn’t that be a good sign? Michigan does not require final grades if you’re accepted, so it wouldn’t make sense to have a row dedicated to final transcripts if they aren’t needed for acceptance in the first place.

1099

There isn’t really such a thing as automatic admission to U of M. I remember a student at my school (in-state) who was 2nd in his class with a perfect SAT score being flat out rejected. You never know.

1100

Also wouldn’t they only ask for your final transcript AFTER you accept the offer? they wouldn’t just add it to a random checklist haha
