<p>@rtv2014… Michigan is Big Blue! It IS all we have built it up to be. As much as a rejection would suck dirty pond water, I am somewhat proud to have hung around until “final cuts”. Many have gone this way before us. Why not us? We are almost at the summit…which reminds me of the words Howard Jones penned in his classic “No one is to blame”. Listen closely…if this thing doesn’t work out for us…this song is fitting…keep in mind “The Her” he pines over could very well be our Big Blue!</p>

<p>…“aspirations are in the clouds but your hopes go down the drain…”</p>

<p>Hoping this is NOT prophetic…but if it is…the sun WILL rise again tomorrow!</p>

<p>@rtv2014… I too penned a letter. It may have been very late in the game as well. I never received confirmation of it being received so feel fortunate. To that point, I am not sure who my admissions counselor is or if I even in fact have one as I have had no such direct one-on-one contact. Had you been assigned one? Asked for one? How did this happen? Feel fortunate that you have a name and face…I have memories of a great visit with my Dad last August but save for that, my experience has been a lonely one.</p>

<p>In some ways, this thread has become somewhat of an existentialist play.
Best wishes of luck and fortune, Vladimirs and Estragons!</p>

<p>@rtv2014 thx for your answer. I actually wrote to my UMich counselor once, and got the generic reply that said she would add my interest into my profile.
I’m so afraid of getting another rejection, so I decided to go for it! </p>

986

<p>@aaskdwqa I only wrote once to update my academic and other achievements since the original application, and sure, also about how much I love umich</p>

992

<p>@jcooch thanks for all your positivity!!! You should go on the website and find your counselor!!! thats what i did!!! and i wrote a letter (about one and a half pages) writing about my passion to study psychology and how it would be pursued at mich and that i know my grades and scores are low but i would do so well as a student there!</p>

993

<p>@Johnnyyxy I talked to a counselor Monday and asked if I should send in my updated Tri2 grades and she said that they weren’t accepting anything to add to applications :/</p>

994

<p>Hey guys! I don’t post here often (or never), but I’m curious if the post on the Umich admissions tumblr today is a foreshadowing of more decisions coming out today or in the coming days… I honestly just want my fate to be sealed. Ambiguity is the worst!!</p>

995

<p>what did they say? we are thinking its probs gna be this friday est and… during mid april </p>

996

<p>chatted them and they said 1-2 weeks meh…</p>

997

<p>@pdv1313 what did they say specifically? I called them on monday and asked if they recieved my second trimester grades in the middle of march and if they were added to my file to be considered for my decision and she said yes</p>

998

<p>So i got into Georgia Tech, UIUC, Purdue, and Ohio State mechanical engineering schools with a 2070 SAT 30
ACT and 6 AP’s with a 93 weighted average. I didnt think i’d make it to a few but i guess my rec’s and essay must have been pretty good but it makes me wonder why not michigan then :confused: The wait has been brutal as all the housing options or getting filled and all i really want is a decision. I really hope it really is coming sometime soon :D</p>

999
