Current freshmen here, there were two deferral decision waves in February(first and last friday of month) so starting next week, check your Wolverine Access on Friday morning! Good luck everyone, I got in on Feb 27th!
How will you know if the school received your FAFSA/CSS? Or the other question might be when will it show up on my wolverine access?
@carlsandburgsr Thanks for the info!
If we dont get in those two dates, does that mean we’re rejected? and when are the other dates that decisions come?
@Rohitmohit absolutely not! Acceptances occur in March and April all the time, too. Simply responses in February are generally more positive than those later in the period. But like UofM says, you’re not rejected until you’re actually rejected, so no need to assume.
Any dance majors hear back yet? Tiny class. Only 20 spots for Freshmen.
Got differed from Mich back in December which is my top, which I stressed, but just got into UNC out of state this weekend, is it possible that Mich is just trying to differ tons to get a feel for the app pool or what because I’m a little confused by how I managed to get to this spot.
Michigan receives over 50,000 applications a year. It is not an easy task to manage enrollment so that they do not over-enroll students, which has been an issue in the past. And yes, they would like to see the entire applicant pool before they fill up their class. Most top universities will not give any acceptances until the end of March.
Congrats on the UNC admission! One thing to keep in mind is that when you are applying to highly competitive schools with tens of thousands of applicants, there will be a great deal of variability in admissions decisions. Rarely will anyone get admitted to every school they applied to. And rarely is there a clear explanation as to why a student was accepted at one school and rejected at another.
It’s deferred and defer. Not differed and differ. If you write a follow-up letter of interest to Michigan, make sure you get it right.
And, no. The admissions process at UNC has nothing to do with the process at UMich. They have their reasons. Congrats on your acceptance to UNC! You have an awesome option if Michigan doesn’t come through.
@brantly good advice to everyone! I would never want to differ with UMich, even if they defer me : )
I just got an email from the Stamps school of art and design saying I’m accepted, and I’m so extremely happy since I only got an unofficial thing a week ago saying I was deferred and was so worried until then that they forgot about me.
@Sandshrew You did? Congrats! I didn’t think that Michigan would accept anyone before at least this Friday.
Congrats! @Sandshrew
@whizkid98 Thanks! I didn’t think so either, but when I had called a while ago the Stamps people said that they’d have it done before the end of January so I guess they stuck to it this time.
@brantly Thank you!
Is there an official Facebook group for admitted students?
How do you check your application status on Wolverine Access? All I can find is about what test scores have been received and stuff but I cannot find by admissions decision.
@thundermichigan If they have made a decision that is either admit or deny then a link saying “view decision” will show up on the application status page next to “view application data” and “view credentials”. If they made a decision of deferral then that link won’t show up.
@Sandshrew Thank you!
Anyone going to any of the Campus Days?
Also, anyone hear about scholarships (merit)?
Engineering merit scholarships will be awarded in the next 2 weeks
@HRSMom Going to the Feb 26th Campus day. Should be pretty informative.
