@uofmfan I got waitlisted. The email looked like this:
We have completed a final individualized and comprehensive review of your University of Michigan application and all supporting documents. While you have many impressive qualities, we regret to inform you that we are not able to offer you a place in the School of Kinesiology for Fall 2017.

We recognize this is disappointing, perhaps particularly so because of your family ties with the University. We hope that you and your family will understand that our high application volume, coupled with the very strong credentials of our applicants in recent years, has contributed to an increasingly competitive admissions process. We are also seeing more applications from families of our more than 575,000 living alumni around the world.

More stuff in the middle saying that I should accept my admission into another university for now and that if I want to transfer in two years I can reapply.

At the end there was a paragraph saying this:
Meanwhile, we occasionally admit a small number of applicants before the end of June from our waitlist. Please notify us of your intentions to accept or decline this waitlist offer before May 1, 2017.
