Well, we FINALLY received a decision from UM. Here is what it said:

Thank you for your application to the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance. After an individualized and comprehensive review of your application and all related materials, a decision has been made. We regret that we are not able to offer you a place in our upcoming class at this time, but we would like to extend an offer for you to join our extended waitlist. Please note that our office refers to the waitlist as both the waitlist and the extended waitlist; they are one and the same. You may accept or decline our offer to be placed on the extended waitlist by clicking “Respond Now.”

Any idea what the extended waitlist is? Although they claim it’s “one and the same” as the waitlist, it makes it sound like a much longer list. I don’t know if it’s worth it to accept it. Anybody have experience with or knowledge of this?
