I don’t want to give anyone false hope, but I would expect they will release some decisions today. The trend for the past few years has been to release decisions every other Friday and if I’m not mistaken, very few if any were released last week. I also doubt they’d release decisions next week with April 1st falling the week after. Have faith that if its meant to be, it will happen. One more detail, in our school district students received notification between late morning through the early evening, but never at the stroke of midnight. Good luck to all still waiting for good news.
nothing for me yet…any updates?
well, i’m back again
I’m really starting to dislike Umich.
@sungjong hooray for nothing 
still here with nothing
Hang in there everyone. Two more weeks to go.
I can’t believe how UCLA (and basically all other UCs) got apps a month after Michigan EA, reviewed them, and are gonna release decisions in less than 12 hours, while UMich hasn’t even released the majority of their decisions yet. What’s more, we don’t even know a definite date. Goes to show how inefficient UMich is.
Inefficient? They got 30,000 apps in November for EA, reviewed them all, and released those decisions by December 24. They told deferred students they’d hear in early April along with the RD applicants. It’s not early April yet.
UCLA and Berkeley review files completely differently as part of a system-wide process. Apples and Oranges.
Any idea how many people got deferred in the first place?
McKilla99@ My S applied in early Jan. and received his decision in early Feb. I thought that was fast compared to the schools we are still waiting on that he applied to at the same time.
@hcg100 Pre admit Ross/LSA undeclared
I applied Nov1 EA and got deffered
-Act: 30
-GPA: 3.5UW/ 3.7W
-Graduating with 9 AP classes (taking 5 this year)
-Varsity Tennis 4 yrs with awards and I’m captain
-(business clubs) FLBA,DECA, Business Honor Society- all VP positions for each
-violin nyssma/school orchestra
-2nd degree black belt in tae kwon doe
-started a charity last summer and to date raised over 5k
This is a very brief run down. I believe the recs were solid and the essay and supplements were personal. My approach was to speak from my unique perspective rather than use over complicated language to seem smart
McKilla99 - how do you know Michigan has not released a majority of their decisions already? I am guessing they have released a significant percentage. And they have been holding admitted students days since early February. CC represents a tiny, tiny portion of the overall applicants to UM.
I have a Junior at USC and I am part of three other CC threads and I must say the tone of THIS thread is extremely abrasive and sometimes even hostile. If this is a representation of UMich class of 2020, I think I will encourage my S to explore his other options.
Well, you have a lot of high achieving kids whose anxiety is going through the roof. This can be a place to express that anxiety. Every year the Michigan decisions thread starts to get more and more intense as people wait longer and longer. I don’t think it has any reflection on the students at UM. I think it reflects the down side of “rolling admissions” for a selective school like Michigan, where some are left waiting.
P.S. The thread on Penn State was much more hostile this year as people ranted about having to wait.
I understand why many people are very anxious since there are students like myself who applied early October and have been waiting this long. In the meantime other kids have been getting accepted and it is starting to look more and more like the rest of us will be waitlisted or rejected. It is very upsetting to wait almost six months just to get bad news.
Just saying that this platform should be more supportive and less combatant. I know very well about the anxiety that comes with this process but I also know first hand that the tone of these threads are a reflection of what is ahead for the kids that choose a specific college. As I stated, my oldest S is at USC and he was fortunate to have been accepted to all the colleges he applied. His decision to attend USC was based on : who would he be living, studying and partying for the next 4 years? My choice for him was Stanford, he chose USC. He was right. I want the same thing for my other S: who will he be living, studying and partying for the next 4 years? Just be supportive of your peers who are as anxious as you are.
I’m a mom too. I would recommend that you hop on over to the UCLA thread this afternoon to experience a little hostility. This is nothing over here. They are anxiously awaiting results there too.
I stand corrected. UCLA is brutal.
