Here is what I have found looking back through previous CC threads. Take from it what you will, I know nothing other than what I have read here. (and am wishful, although I know this will prob be a defer to RD for us).
2021: portal change 01/25/21; DECISIONS 01/29/2021 (1/28/21 cube on socials)
2022: portal change 01/17/22 (but returned within a day), portal change 1/24/22; 01/28/22 DECISIONS (1/22/22 cube on socials)
2023: portal change 1/23/23; 01/27/23 DECISIONS (no cube pic found/possibly deleted from socials)
2024: portal change 1/22/24; 01/26/24 DECISIONS (1/25/24 cube pic on socials); 1/20/24 admitted student tour page tour dates appeared
2025: portal change 1/20/25; ??? DECISIONS (1/21/24 cube pic on socials)

Does anyone know how they calculate gpa?
Article - Recalculated GPA for First...).
A=4,B=3,ETC. No +/-
So they do not take into account grade 12 grades…
So… 90 is an A. Our school does numerical grade in 100 point scale. If 90 is a 4.0, I bet 10 to 15% kids in our school have 4.0 gpa. Out curiosity, with a a- been 4.0. what percentage kids in your school have 4.0 average…please chime in anyone care to share
I was trying to avoid getting roped into the portal astrology and whatnot, but the plot is too good. What does “cube on socials” mean? I feel like I’m part of the DaVinci Code or something.

Lol. I am an adult. But my sons school gets around 45 acceptances from around 200 students and 14 typically end up going.
The Cube is just a structure on the campus lol, check @ umichadmissions on instagram. They posted a picture of it a few hours ago, which may or may not indicate decision release in a few days
Campus lore dictates that spinning the Cube gives you luck, I believe

Wow! I have to check this year but my D23s class of 500+ kids, we know of 3 acceptances and at least 30 applied. I’m so curious how many applied from our high school this year. It has to be close to 100. There are more than 100 kids with a 4.0 or higher GPA.
Do not resist!

We are outside of Boston. Kids here love Michigan. 50-60 apply and about 5-7 get in. Their school basically has grade deflation so very very few 4.0. And they are unweighted no class rank. They only use academic courses in the gpa. And 93-100 A (4.0), 90-93 A- (3.7). My daughter has a 3.8 but a 3.97 on the Michigan scale. So maybe more 4.0 once recalculated. For reference they send about 12 or so to ivies + MIT every year.

I have a video of my student spinning it after a campus tour last fall.

I wish we didn’t have class rank. My D23 graduated with a 4.1 and she was 106 out of 500.

Keep in mind. Your student is compared to their school /district. The school AO will know your schools and school reports. Having an unweighted 4.0 with 36 Act doesn’t get you into Michigan or any school. Just means your in play. With around 65,000 EA apps (estimate), they simply can’t take everyone.
Lsa is 3.9 unweighted with 32-35 Act and engineering is 3.94 with 34 Act as estimates.
Kids and schools get tracked for success to some degree.
Kids not submitting scores get tracked. Michigan and other schools have done studies to see how these students perform over time. Evidently Michigan is satisfied with the results.
Any student that is accepted is worth that acceptance regardless if someone has higher grades, stats etc.
Every year we tell everyone to be kind and have grace. Congratulate those that get in here or any school. There is a school for everyone.
I know all of you will do great wherever you land
