<p>waitlisted. haha took way too long. still can’t believe that I got into ucla and uc berkeley. sucks for michigan</p>
<p>@devribound
Congrats! I applied their too lol still no answer though it was supposed to come in But it’s not here yet mind sharing your stat with me?</p>
<p>Congrats to people who got in</p>
<p>i got waitlisted but i think that i am high on the list with a 4.0 GPA and 2310 SAT. should i accept to be on the waitlist?</p>
<p>My daughter was waitlisted as well. Both parents alumni, grandfather alumni, brother there currently. So much for loyalty…</p>
<p>^^^That’s really a shame. Sorry to hear that beechw00d. :-(</p>
<p>beechw00d, if you don’t mind me asking, did your daughter apply to engineering? It seems like they’ve become especially competitive the last couple of years. Most other LSA students with those kind of stats and that many alumni ties appear to be getting in.</p>
<p>danloeb - Yes it was COE. She would have been fine with LS&A but you cannot do a dual application to COE and LS&A. We figured with the low % of females in COE being female might have helped but I guess not. She will be disappointed but has a good alternative. It would have been nice to be able to visit both kids with a trip to Ann Arbor. I do find it interesting how little weight they place on Michigan interest or else have a difficult time determining it. I do understand how competitive it is.</p>
<p>I got waitlisted as well. Honestly, though, I got five rejections and no acceptances or waitlists yesterday, and there were a lot of people at those schools getting waitlisted and accepted with stats below mine, so I guess this was kinda nice. Oh, and yeah, CoE here, too.</p>
<p>Waitlisted. I’m appealing</p>
<p>Is it weird that I haven’t found out yet? OOS deferred.</p>
<p>@beechw00d The University of Michigan does not currently have the legal ability (although this might change as SCOTUS recently agreed to review the case) to give preferential treatment to any gender or race when it comes to U-M admissions. As for your daughters legacy status, it only helps so much.</p>
<p>Even the most conservative of estimations make it clear that this year was the most competitive in U-M’s history. It’s quite unfortunate that Michigan had to deny and waitlist so many of its’ qualified applicants, but they have very strict guidelines on how many students they can accept. </p>
<p>Best of luck to all of the applicants who weren’t accepted. I’m sure that wherever you end up attending will be a fine place to be.</p>
<p>Waitlisted. Congrats to all those who got in and condolences to all others.</p>
<p>I’m getting kind of worried that I haven’t found out. My stars are quite below the average. I was deferred from LS&A</p>
<p>KronOmega - “The University of Michigan does not currently have the legal ability to give preferential treatment to any gender or race when it comes to U-M admissions”. I can guarantee that that is still used as an admissions factor, only not formally and not written down. U of M still seeks a diverse student body but cannot do so formally. They can still consider non race and non gender components (economics, family situation, challenges, etc). They just cannot put race or gender on a form and assign it a numerical value but it is still a consideration.</p>
<p>I’m really curious to find out what the acceptance rate was this year.</p>
<p>@beechw00d Unfortunately I don’t think that is currently the case. Although I do agree that diversity should be taken into consideration, after the approval of prop 2 in 2006, Michigan’s constitution (§26:1) explicitly prohibits it. Regardless of reason, if Michigan was giving preferential treatment by race or gender, even in an unofficial way they would expect to face extreme repercussions if it was ever discovered. Needless to say, but willingly and knowingly ignoring the constitution is probably not the best idea for a public university dependent on state funds. I certainly hope that this changes, and there is a good chance that it will since the supreme court has now gotten involved, but for now, it is what it is.</p>
<p>KronOmega - there is ample evidence to counter your statement. Look at the admissions from poor performing school districts like Detroit and you will find students accepted with below average scores and grades. Michigan is still allowed to use factors like single parent family, first to attend college, economic situation, personal challenges, etc and applying those factors. This allows them to increase diversity without violating any rules.</p>
<p>Are all of the decisions released today for COE? My S is OOS deferred and has heard nothing… For all of those accepted, heartfelt congrats! For those who were waitlisted or rejected, you can succeed wherever you go. I work in a very competitive industry and some of the greatest success stories are those who went to schools few have heard of, if they even had the luxury of attending college. Hang in there! There’s always the option to transfer or simply attend the school who appreciates you and wants you the most!</p>
<p>I still didn’t get anything!</p>
<p>I was at U Mich today for a Campus Day visit. The admissions person told the attendees that they are still reviewing applications.</p>
