<p>I’m banking on a release today</p>
<p>hopefully im part of that release</p>
<p>same here… some people got accepted two weeks after sending their midyear report…
BUT NOT ME D:</p>
<p>If you did get accepted when should I expect the letter in the mail?</p>
<p>Friday! Typically a day when the work week ends and we can relax…typically. Waiting on a potential release is hard. I am not feeling the vibe today. Good luck hard chargers! Keep your head down and keep working.</p>
<p>Ya, they send emails in a batch on Fridays!! </p>
<p>No like a hard copy of the accpetance letter. I was already accepted last Friday. </p>
<p>The first batch of acceptances came the Friday around Jan. 31st. The second batch was last week. I don’t know that I would count on today.</p>
<p>What everyone on here needs to remember is that if you are applying to the University of Michigan, you in all likelihood have been accepted to many excellent schools.</p>
<p>If you are from out of state, the tuition is the same at Michigan as many private schools, who will probably offer you a scholarship, or another State school such as Wisconsin, Maryland, Penn State, or Ohio State and it may end up being significantly cheaper for you and your parents than Michigan. Remeber there are many excellent schools besides Michigan.</p>
<p>I like all of you wish that Michigan would just announce a date that they will notify everyone rather than the daily, if not every Friday torture that my child is suffering from and looking at the email inbox and Michigan access account every ten minutes and being depressed that there is nothing in either place after being deferred back in December. I honestly feel it is really not right what the placement office at University of Michigan is doing with the acceptance process. Everyone should be thinking of what school they will attend if they are not accepted and be proud of the schools that you got into.</p>
<p>Wishing everyone only the best whether it is at the University of Michigan or elsewhere. Please remember if you do not get in to Michigan this go around, do well in whatever school you go to for the next two years and if you are still in love with MIchigan, you can apply as a transfer after freshman or sophmore year. My gut is you will probably be happy wherever you go and you will not have an interest in transferring and then it is the University iof Michigan’s loss for not accepting you.</p>
<p>Good luck and try to relax!!! We are less than a month from April 15th, the date they siad everyone will be notified.</p>
<p>AAAAAH so anxious!!! </p>
<p>@dad2018class thanks for the supportive message!</p>

<p>Really?</p>
<p>HI rjkofnovi. </p>
<p>Tuition and fees at U Mich were $40,390 this past year. </p>
<p>Wisconsin is $27,000 ( out of state tuition and fees)
Ohio State 26,000, ( out of state tuition and fees)
Maryland $27,500, ( out of state tuition and fees)
Penn State $30,000 ( out of state tuition and fees)</p>
<p>Boston University $46,000 ( offered $15,000 academic scholarship per year so net cost $31,000)
NYU $44,500 ( offered $10,000 academic scholarship per year, so net cost $34,000)
Oberlin $46,000 ( offered $12,500 academic scholarship per year, so net cost $33,500)
University of Chicago $42,000 ( still waiting to hear),
Northewestern $45,000 ( still waiting to hear). </p>
<p>So you can see from the above if you are out of state, Michigan is not such a bargain as a “State School” to attend and is more expensive after academic scholarship than many private schools that my child applied to and has been accepted to so far. </p>
<p>As a parent, I want my child to go where they want to go but there are many other great schools out there besides Michigan and some that you would think are more expensive, in reality are not.</p>
<p>Hang in there and continued good luck to all!!!</p>
<p>^ very good thoughts, no need to hang yourself to one tree</p>
<p>i know just as many people who went to iowa state who ended up being very successful in life as the number of people who went to Harvard who cant find their way in from the rain. it all works out.</p>
<p>Good discussion. It is very difficult to predict why they reject in Big colleges.They have to sort 30 to 40 thousand applications. If we get in we are lucky otherwise move on to the college we get . Don’t hang to same college. Universities are made up of Good Students. If we work hard and stay focus we can be successful no matter where we study. </p>
<p>looks like today is not a release day :(</p>
<p>Every time it’s not a release day my soul evaporates from my body and my heart breaks into a thousand pieces. The amount of times I check my email is getting ridiculous </p>
<p>Remember no news is not necessarily bad news!!!</p>
<p>As I stated before it would be nice if the admission office would come out and state a day when they will be released for everyone or at a minimum say no acceptances are going out today so my daughter does not have to be continuously looking at WA and her emails and like a ton of you be tortured every day.</p>
<p>She will do great no matter where she goes as will all of you and do not forget that!! </p>
<p>Yes, that is correct. All universities should have same decision date, similar to May 1st acceptance date. That will reduce lots of pressure from students. </p>
