Last year, 3/25 was last Friday of the month. This year, 3/31 is last Friday of the month. It’s the last decision we are waiting for and definitely a top 3 school on the list.

I’m in the exact same boat as you lol. I’ll probably commit to Pitt soon

D23 has had Michigan as her #1 since she foot on campus in April 2022. But she was deferred EA and just got accepted to Northwestern. I think she’ll be a Wildcat before she even hears from Michigan at this rate.

Praying for a miracle 
for our applicant. These waitlists and rejections really are taking a toll.

And it’s so hard on us parents, each time a rejection or waitlist comes out it is like a punch to the gut for our kids and we need to try to support them. This whole process really stinks and does not make much sense.

It does not. I’m just sick over it.
I’m driving myself crazy, praying, seeing “signs” and truly believing they will get just 1 accept they are proud of and excited about.
My heart is just broken.

Such a brilliant strategy to get more people withdraw their applications and thus improve the school’s yield rate…

One of my classmates got in EA UM (OOS). He doesn’t want to go to UM. So, I told him to reject the offer to give other students a chance.

I’m a parent and advised my child to select “interested in waitlist” and do a LOCI’s for all schools in this process. From my experience with my oldest, one never knows how they’re going to feel until they see all their cards on the table. Having said that, if she was dead set against any school, I’d advise otherwise to help another student.

My classmate already chose the school he likes so much. He just forgot to reject the other offers.
So I don’t think this has changed at all regardless what they did in the past
If in early action you don’t meet the requirements or deadlines will be rolled into the regular decision applicant pool. All materials must then be postmarked by Feb. 1 and decisions will be released by early April.*
Waiting sucks no question, but this has been on their site for years. You are all very close so almost there. I have my theories but it doesn’t matter at this point.
Start looking into your acceptances that you currently have and see if it’s affordable and a good fit. Do deeper dives into them. If Michigan happens then it’s just another option.
Good luck and hope everyone gets the answer their looking for but I am assuming your other options are equally as great.

That doesn’t change anything. It’s a really bad conspiracy that’s been floated around. A lot can change in a month so if the option is there, keep it open. You’re not hurting anyone by doing so.
(edit: I see ur friend alr committed, I do stand by not rejecting but either way is fine)

This whole UMich EA postponement then no date on decisions is really too much. My son has already kind of lost interest in them now and initially it was one of his first choices.
I think this is a mistake that they haven’t released decisions yet.
We’d heard that it was because they’d received too many applications to even read through before any deadline.
Who knows right?

Financial aid/CSS indicate 3/31 for MI to come out. Fingers crossed!

Could also mean decisions are released by this date. We will see soon enough!
It says 3/31 is the deadline to complete them. I don’t think that indicates decisions being released that day. But we are down to the wire so it will be within the next week or so one way or another.

I agree. Michigan was my D23’s first app (EA, then Postponed.) So much has happened since then with nothing but a “we’ll decide later” from Michigan. I have moved on. I think she may have too.
