Many kids don’t want Honors.
Too many think you ‘need’ it. But all Honors are different. My son applied at some but not all.
I wouldn’t discard a school based on Honors.
And I’ve been in enough job apps with my kids. There’s no place to list it.
Kids should do it bcuz it’s right for them.
Not bcuz you need it to justify a school.
We registered for March 8. We used the link in the acceptance letter to find the dates. Many hotels are already booked for 3/7!! Good luck
Lots of Arbbnb etc also in the areas
Point of information: applicants and parents of applicants who were deferred, should we migrate to a RD thread?
Ross sends acceptances in 3 waves but do they also send rejections in those waves? It can be a long 2 months of waiting. Is it something along the lines of, if it’s 5:05pm on Feb 9th and your inbox is empty then you have to wait another month for the next wave? And then maybe April 9th???
There is a RD thread and might help people that need just that information. You will be joined by the RD people Feb 1st.
There are definitely more. We registered for March 8
Yes. Every phase will be acceptances and denials even the very last one in April.
For a postponed Early Action result, will your ultimate admissions answer now be in line with the Regular Decision timing? Or is it possible to hear one way or the other earlier (or later?)
Thanks!
My son is in Ross and said he knows plenty of kids who were admitted in RD and still got into Ross.
Ross doesn’t even consider your application until you are admitted to one of the colleges. You absolutely can consider majors contained within the college that accepted the applicant and even try for cross college transfer once
On campus.
Any EA applicant is now an RD applicant. There is no more EA. That phase is over.
You will now follow the RD guidelines. If your Ross applicant then you will follow that.
Cross campus transfer into Ross is very difficult. I think only 100/125 applicants are admitted. The 25 are for transfers not on Ann Arbor coming from different schools.
Once a student is denied from Ross, the student will not be considered again in the future.
If a student is accepted to LSA, for instance, but denied admission to Ross, they cannot apply to transfer into Ross as an LSA student.
There are many paths to a career in business, but Ross will not be the path for a Michigan student if he or she was denied out of high school.
25 reserved for community college transfer. the rest for other transfers.
Per director of ross admission, she told interviewer - Ross admission started to review application as soon as you submit to Umich - Ross evaluates in two parts - one is non academic/Test score, the other academic parts(relying on the central admission office). people who evaluate non academic parts unable to see your GPA/SAT score (it is called reviewing not influenced by GPA/SAT score impression) – commApp personal statement, community essay, why umich essay, Ross business case essay, Ross artifact essay with artifact, activity with honors… each one of 6 parts rated from 1-5, 5 highest… then get total average score. with that average score + central admission officer’s admitted rating (1 to 15 , 1 highest-- usually 1-3 rated -sure to be admitted, 4 or 5 might be defer…) – these two components together to determine your ranking if admitting or not to Ross… in another word, admitted to Umich with rating 2 or 3 will have significant advantage with proper non academic evaluation rating.
They can come from other institutions.
Each year, we enroll around 125 transfer students when the sophomore core curriculum begins. We seek to enroll approximately 100 cross-campus transfer students through our U-M Transfer Applicant process and 25 students from institutions other than those at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor through our external Transfer Applicant process
Yes, but it then still had her listed at test flexible - we called and they said we also had to send an email to ecredentials@umich.edu changing her status.
I just went to register my kid for Campus Day and at end it said there is a charge of $35. Umichigan charges kids to attend an admitted student day? We will be paying so much to come from a distance anyway (flight/hotel)… I’m very confused by this, haven’t seen this from other schools.
Yes - and some parents are shocked at hundreds for orientation.
it’s business.
You stay at a hotel and find a resort fee that wasn’t published.
They hide, trick, etc.
In this case, it’s optional though - and that might be why. They have to pay for food, set up and other things.
I often say COA costs more than they say. Some disagree…and a lot depends on the kid - do they go Greek, travel, etc. but either way, it’s starting even before you get there!!!
Not defending Michigan because they are expensive.
However, fees have been a way for many public universities to cover costs when they are not allowed by their state to raise tuition. It’s a common practice for legislators to cut funding to public universities and then cry bloody murder when those universities raise tuition to cover those budget cuts.
I suspect Michigan charges as much as they do because they can and the funding allows them to do a lot of great things. It also doesn’t seem to hurt their application numbers.
