Does UMICH ever release specific people’s decision letters early? I was positive that ED decisions aren’t released until the end of December and RD even later, but apparently a girl who lives near me already got accepted with a full scholarship (not a sports recruit or anything like that). It’s possible it could just be a rumor, but if it is she’d have quite a few people fooled. Has anyone else ever heard of anything like this happening at U of M? I’m already nervous about decisions and this kinda sent me over the edge.
A girl near me got a package today that said she will get four years of tuition free if she attends even though she hasn’t applied yet. I’m quite confused too and I believe this may be similar
It is not likely to be true for UMich unless it is recruitment or a very talented music performance major. One would still need to go through the application process although it would be a guarantee admission. If she find cure to cancer or found a way to reverse global warming, that may be a different story.
I don’t believe there’s anything spectacular about her, she has below average stats. Perhaps it’s just based on her financial status IF she were admitted?
Is she in state? It said IF she applies AND is admitted, it does not say there is a guarantee admission. It sounds more like a potential financial aid offer which is very different from what you said in the OP.
Kalamazoo Promise? If you attend public school in Kalamazoo, MI, then you can get 4 years of tuition paid at a four year college. But you would know this if both of you lived in Kalamazoo.
There was an article in the MIchigan Daily a few weeks ago that talked about UofM’s inititiave to drive diversity from in state students. The article made reference to a new program - HAIL Scholars. I think this may be what it is.
@96blue Good info. That must be it. I scanned through that article previously but did not pay much attention to the details. But again, it said “IF ADMITTED”. So it is just a potential financial aid offer, not an admission offer. I have seen that kind of offer from other schools too but mostly on a merit basis.
