can you tell when you applied to Umich and and how long they took to process your application?
@coe2020 can you tell when you applied to Umich and and how long they took to process your application?
Any Indian here writing board exams? Chem’s in 2 days and I have 9 chapters remaining. YAAAAY
lmao i only finished 3 chapters omggg
@alexxxcee Hahah yes, I am! I’ve been silently observing the entire time. The wait is killing me, and so are my IAs LOL
@azoldtech Waiting a month is very normal. Some people here have waited for more than three months. Good luck.
@Canoon @azoldtech Seriously, a month is very short in terms of turnaround for most any school not using automatic admission criteria. Some might get lucky and hear earlier but by March 31st I’ll have waited a bit over four months for most of my schools, and nearly five months for Cornell (the first one I did after the Nov.1 EA deadlines).
I’d envy everyone who heard back within a month. Even us EA applicants didn’t hear back for two months after the deadline.
Remember for a moment the sheer volume of applicants they have to process – Over 50,000. If they had only one officer who dedicated fifteen minutes to each application, it would take 521 days of nonstop reading to work through them all just once. Since they’re going to like more than they can accept, it’ll take more passes to whittle down the list to a more reasonable size. That’s more reading, comparing, etc…
I was just looking over last years thread and it seemed a lot of kids were wait listed at the end of March 2015. This is agonizing…
hey @whizkid98 and others, have you received your financial aid info yet?
@azoldtech my son applied early action, so I think it was November. He was deferred the end of December. He finally got his acceptance on 3/4/16. Good luck, I know the waiting is the hardest part.

I was accepted today! My school college advisor called and tried to get an answer earlier for me and he did! I’m so excited
@tbhbulls I was accepted in December and I haven’t gotten any fin aid info yet. I’m very anxious to see if the OOS cost will be reduced.
@angelacgeorge same! Extended essays, IA’s , and the oral commentary is killing me and UMich isn’t helping with all this waiting! lmao
@tbhbulls No financial aid info for me yet. I’ve been checking every day. Though I only sent in my CSS 10 days ago, so I think it’ll take a bit.
I applied on January 30th and received a decision a month later on March 2. Not sure how STAMPS prioritizes their decisions. A couple of my friends who applied EA to STAMPS got their decision on January 31. Others are still waiting
If last year is anything to go by, financial aid awards will begin to be issued around the 20th.
@AcceptableName The estimate is usually pretty accurate. The balance of grant and loan seems to depend on the level of need, those with the highest need receiving the most grant aid. Last year, they met my brother’s full need (OOS), his award including about $5000 in loans and $2000 in FWS. The rest was grants.
@Wolverine261 thats possible? Lucky, congrats!
i did! i applied on feb 2 on the deadline and heard back last week
Has anyone else been deferred EA and not received their decision yet?
