i can’t wait to receive my rejection letter 
Very confident few of us will be hearing good news on April 1st
I don’t even care if my son gets rejected at this point…I just want to get the thought of Michigan off our minds. Time to move on. Like, just rip the band aid off already! I want to be done.
U of Michigan has to send out acceptance letters now with Michigan State getting knocked out of the NCAA tourney. It’s cause for celebration.
@Yeezyy and especially before they play UND tonight
@sungjong Don’t say that! Just stick to good thoughts and it’ll work out.
@blprof Although I don’t want to stray from the subject of Michigan, I can attest to the hostility over on the Penn state thread. There is a priority deadline of Nov 30 at Penn and those applicants /should/ have gotten their decisions first. I applied after that date and got my decision before people who applied in September/October, and that got a lot of people on the thread angry. Most of them have received a decision since then. But tying this back in to Michigan, just keep holding on!
I just went through this thread and the 2019 thread to make this… I hope it is accurate and helps people next year!
This is a comparison of the larger waves from 2015/16 and 2014/15. I believe that stamps and smtd may vary from this to some extent. It also doesn’t factor in honors/ross pre admits. This year compared to last year is actually not that different. It may seem like waves are smaller, but not everyone who gets in posts about it or is on CC.
2015/16 (class of 2020)
Friday, December 18
Friday, February 5
Friday, February 26
Friday, March 4
Predicted Final: Friday, March 25
I also suppose the final this year could be on Friday, April 1. Last year’s final wave was on the fourth Friday of March, so I think it will be on the fourth Friday this year too.
2014/15 (class of 2019)
Friday, December 19
Friday, February 6
Friday, February 27
Friday, March 6 kind of (according to a post on CC, there was a umich admissions tumblr post that stated only a few individual decisions may be released, but there will be no large batch this week)
Final: Friday, March 27
Stay positive!! I know it easier said then done, but I know people who got accepted in the final wave. They ended up attending and absolutely loving it, even though waiting for their decision was terrible. I know that it feels discouraging after waiting this long, but if it is the right school for you, I think it will be worth the wait.
Got rejected at Ross today. At least the nightmare week ends today.
@MidwestIsBest Thank you so much for your positive attitude and going back through the thread to find information for those of us who are still waiting. As I was just rejected from UCLA I am trying desperately to keep my hopes up for Michigan.
@danloeb
Do you know if the final decision date will consist of very few acceptances?
Rejected by UCLA, so Ann Arbor it is ! All the best for the RD applicants
LOL to hell with UMich! Just got into UCLA for mech eng!!
Anyone know what the M-Sci (M-STEM) program is all about? Received a letter for my S this afternoon inviting him to apply to the program and information session in AA Sat. Mar. 19th. Yes tomorrow and it is the last info session. I tried to call the program/admissions/fin aid and all could not tell me exactly what the program was about and what it costs(or if it costs). I was told it is like a Questbridge summer program. Searching it brings up info on diversity, getting the student ready for the rigors of college and it is a two year program with housing. Since my son is a middle class white male, 36 ACT, mult. 5 APs, Nat. Merit and 4.0/4.3 student I questioned why they would be willing to pay him ($1500+), feed him, house him, give him 9 free credit hours of class, research work and mentoring. I had no time to decide or get more info so we will be driving to AA and hope we are not wasting 3 hours each way.
@klulug I hear you…I hope your son is not strung along the way I was last year…they waited until practically April to deny me. for what reason???
@CalDude2020 YoOOO LA it blows Ann Arbor away SEE YA AT THE BEACH BRO
@danloeb Hi just very curious on what you mean by
UCLA and Berkeley review files completely differently as part of a system-wide process. Apples and Oranges.
@calraterboi each school in the UC system takes different things into account. not every uc is going to accept the same people. They are separate schools within the same system, but have free reign about how their admissions process is (mostly). Sometimes, an application will get forwarded to a less selective UC like merced (at least for CA kids) because the state promises students a spot at one school if they’re qualified.
WA is down. Does it mean anything?
@trixie123 Nope, it always goes down at this time on Saturdays.
