University of Michigan EA class of 2020 thread

Does UMich admit by major? (Civil Engineering)
I was deferred from EA and haven’t heard back yet. I should probably get my hopes down , right?

@futurecivilguy14 S also deferred EA (Civil Engineering) and hasn’t heard back yet. According to last year’s thread, it seemed the last batch was mostly rejection and wait list. But there were a few acceptances. So, let’s hope we are one of those few! :slight_smile:
What other schools have you been accepted? Which one is your first and second choice?

@sunbeams i’ve been accepted to UCD, UT Austin and TAMU as of now.Waitlisted at UCLA and waiting for NYU,UCB and Cornell.
My first choice is UMich and second is UCLA.
Let’s hope for the best! :slight_smile:

For anyone who has looked through the threads of past years, does it seem like at this point we should just be primarlily expecting rejections and waitlists since it’s so late in the game? Thanks

Hang in there everyone. My daughter went through this last year. She applied early (Nov) and heard the last Friday in March! She was 2nd out of 440 in HS (OOS) and had a good hook being a world class Irish Step dancer. She thought her credentials were good and stressed over the wait. She finally got in and loves UM. In my opinion, it is one of the greatest universities in the country. Don’t give up hope. I am sure the students that don’t get accepted will have good options since they must have excellent credentials or they would’nt be applying to UM.
Good Luck everyone. It will work out the way it’s meant.

Does UM usually admit a lot of waitlists? I haven’t head back so I am expecting a waitlist or rejection from CoE. I got into UCLA, Notre Dame, and UCSD for ChemE but UM is my top :frowning:

Does anybody know how many people have been accepted so far? I’m just curious if they have filled up most of the spots by now.

@aiwaosi This is funny. I got into Umich, but I would gladly trade the acceptance with your UCLA one.

Guys, UMich releases decisions at random points of time. A major wave for decision was on the 28th last year, and you should expect the same around that date this year. I was deferred EA and then got accepted. Hang in there!

@keil304 By any chance do you mind sharing your stats? I am only curious because my test scores are a loyal bit low and I am concerned about getting in.

@thundermichigan Sure! I am international ACT 30 (Superscore), 800, 760, 670 Subject test, 95 GPA. Really strong ECs and good essays. Good luck!

Ok thank you so much my ACT score is pretty similar and I have really outstanding essays and great EC’s plus a personal recommendation from my AP Calculus teacher who is a Michigan Alumni. However I am still worried because I am applying for engineering.

I just finished up at an admitted students day and they said that they received close to 55,000 applications this year and are still working hard in admissions. Hang in there everyone!

Can someone tell me what they believe my chances would be? Waiting without hearing anything and knowing people already got accepted is scary.

ACT: 31

I got in w a 31 EA OOS, so you def can. Seems like you have a strong resume too. Good luck @overwhelmed88631

anyone know if the final batch of decisions will be released this friday? Or will we have to wait until next week? Someone previously predicted that it’ll be this friday but this year has been pretty weird on predictions lol

Sorry if this has already been answered but when applying to the honors program its says that to hear back by a certain date, you must have submitted your application by midnight on March 23rd. Does anybody know if that means tonight or tomorrow night?

It seems like most people who have heard back applied to LSA. If you applied engineering, please like this if you have heard back, mark helpful if you haven’t. Thanks

@futur3clssof2o2o My college advisor called the Undergraduate Admissions office yesterday and they said that decisions that come out are random. There will not be a specific date that everyone will hear back. In addition she said that some decisions may be released as late as mid April due to the large volume of applications this year.
