shalala_lala_la · January 24, 2009, 3:25pm

how do you get notified?
do you get an email to check your account?

when did my application begin to be reviewed?

submitted app: 1/4
“application date” on wolverine access is 1/7
Tests rec’d 1/14
all paper forms rec’d 1/9 (sent months ago but I didnt submit my app until 1/4 so they weren’t processed)

probably 1/14… so i guess that means i most likely wont get a decision until 4/15?

The reason my response took so long despite applying ED is that it is required for them to look at early grad’s 5th semester grades.
I was really worried that me being 16 and only having 3 years of high school would impede on my acceptance into UofM but apparently not!
GO BLUE!
