@overthetopmom It was a post card!
@bunnicula23 @piccologirl Thank you both. I threw away postcards on Christmas Eve and vaguely remember one with an M! Guess I have to go through the trash.
I got accepted but was wondering when do you have to accept or deny their offer? UMich is near the top for me but I am waiting on some RD schools to reply. Right now I am sitting on the screen that says Respond Now.
Anytime before May 1st. You aren’t under any obligation to respond before that date.
@nihalani May first is the last day to accept I believe.
We are in TX and still haven’t received hard copy letter. My daughter keeps waiting and is very excited to see it! I kept thinking it would come today, factoring in Christmas and Sunday. She was invited to join the STAMPS college of art 2020 Facebook page and that made her happy. We registered for College Days on Feb 15 so that she can confirm her decision, but I can’t imagine what would change her mind about it being her top choice.
@jenndon The weather has been bad in the middle of the country and it has held up all types of mail. Also, what colleges is your daughter waiting to hear from? Maybe she wants to hear from all of them before she makes a decision. I knew people who said Michigan was their #1 last year and then they changed their minds. They are all home from first sem now and they are happy with their choices. Some of them told me they literally made up their minds on May 1st. It’s a big decision!!!
Does anybody know when all RD applicants will hear back?
everyone on the same day, or will the ones who’ve submitted their apps earlier also get an earlier decision?
@nadinem123 RD applicants will start hearing back in mid to late January when the modified rolling admissions process kicks in. There will be waves of responses every couple of weeks until April. This is straight from the admissions department.
@overthetopmom good to know – thank you for the answer!
@AcceptableName What was in the admissions packet?
@lagroy The acceptance letter and a folder with a packet about the campus and what to do next. There was also a congratulation paper that I hung on the wall.
Thanks @calraterboi. RISD and Michigan were her top two. She got rejected from RISD RD and has been accepted to SCAD and Pratt, waiting to hear from VCU and Syracuse, but will probably get in. She’s very excited about Michigan, but definitely wants confirmation since she hasn’t visited. She has talked with the admissions people in art though and got a great feel for the campus vibe, particularly in her major.
The official packet made it to TX yesterday!
@sunbeams If you could give me the link, I would be grateful
Has anyone else still not received the packet? I’m from Indiana so I expected it to be here by now, but I haven’t gotten anything yet.
Does anyone know when we find out about merit scholarships? I was accepted EA
@chantal225 It used to be mid Feb to mid March. But if they have changed the admission cut off date from Feb to Dec 24 for scholarships, they may be able to announce earlier.
What are your chances of getting acceptance from UMich if you get deferred in EA?
