@hcg100 Im out of state man… honestly I didn’t think I had any chance with an ACT 27 composite- but hey, anything is possible!
what about you?
@dzimberg I have an 1860 SAT and 28 ACT so I wasn’t too worried but it’s nice to officially be in!
@hcg100 Yeah, there’s no doubt our scores are definitely on the lower end, though (for UofM). Aren’t we lucky- I’m not complaining!
I think @dzimberg is just a troll. There is thread that he or she started that says he or she got a 35 ACT score. I think decisions haven’t really come out for most who were expecting them today yet
@hcg100 how did you find out that you were accepted? did you get an email, or was there something to click on in the applicant portal? thanks
@HSsenior1997 I looked at my WA and it said “view decision” towards the bottom. I clicked on it and it said I was accepted. Keep on checking!
DAMMIT I DIDNT GET ANYTHING YET
**** this ****
It looks like you just wrote this surrounded by asterisks lol
Are these all of the acceptances for today or should we expect more to come in the next few hours?
I am not 100% convinced that the two people who said they were accepted weren’t trolls – please don’t take their experience as the rule…
This isn’t a week for a large release of decisions. It’s going to be next Friday, March 4. No need to incessantly check Wolverine Access or your inbox for an email today or into the weekend.
@danloeb How do you know?
@danloeb Can you explain this, or do you have a link where you found this information?
I doubt the people who claimed they were admitted were actually admitted, and there’s a possibility there could be a batch right after 3, that’s when they were released for the first batch in December
It doesn’t sound like many people have been accepted today everyone just keep your hopes up. It sounds like there was a snow storm in Michigan and the school is preparing to go on break soon. They are probably just busy and I wouldn’t worry too much. I am still waiting as well so I know its hard.
I’m at Campus Day right now and the head of the Finaid said that financial aid decisions will be made by this Friday.
@sungjong yeah same and IT’S SO DISAPPOINTING
As the name implies, I am indeed an Ann Arborite and bear news of my city’s current state: that is, recently buried in snow. As such, the university is probably coping with it and thus unable to dispatch all the decisions for the patient and righteous applicants. I got in myself on Friday 2/5, I didn’t check until the morning of.
Stats (for those interested):
Applied EA with a 3.95 college GPA, 3.67 freshman GPA (calculated separately), 3.63 middle college GPA (long story, but those are my numbers). Deferred initially, GPA went down to 3.82 after fall semester. Sent a letter of continued interest and explained the drop in grades, still ended up getting in. Course load was very average, nothing too easy or difficult (our program doesn’t have “AP”, we take college classes that vary in rigor)
ACT: 31 composite, 32 “super score” (not that anyone should care, Michigan doesn’t super score), 11/12 writing score.
Hooks: Syrian father, American mother: half breed diversity bonus.
I’m also Muslim, so there’s another diversity tip (it also explains why I say things like “Victory belongs to God 2020”)
Speak three languages (English, Arabic, Japanese)
Formed a chapter of Students Organize for Syria at my university, also worked as an aid worker in refugee camps in Turkey (quite harrowing)
Was an officer for our university’s Japanese Students Association, got a great recommendation from the head of the Japanese department. I was also a member of the Japanese Aikido Club, they like to see well rounded applicants.
On top of that I was very active in the city’s public transportation administration (campaigned for increased service, cleaned bus shelters), and my essays all described life as a Syrian growing up in Ann Arbor. As far as grades and scores go I consider mine pretty low, so I imagine it was an interesting background that got me in.
Legacy: Older brother was accepted into Michigan’s engineering program, but attended UM-Dearborn on full scholarship instead. Mother was a professor at UM-Dearborn.
Regardless of how the dice fall and whether or not you’re accepted, work hard and don’t let it crush you. For those accepted, get cocky at your own peril.
@alexxxcee i guess we’ll have to wait for next week then ://///
