i am an international student who got accepted after being deferred. the news came as a shock to me because I’m international (from where i am at, they usually take in students with 2200s or 2300s) and my sat score was super low -less than 2100 superscored. with u of m being such a high ranked and great school, i literally screamed my lungs out when i got accepted! nonetheless, it happened, so I’m really thankful! i think great essays really helped me and maybe my extracurricular activities did too. anyone interested in my stats do let me know because i feel like its a miracle i got in. again I’m really thankful for u of m to have given me this chance! they chose me!
@lexi2901 i am international as well and have even much lower sat score 1990 and i got accepted so don’t consider it a miracle you deserved it.umich has holistic admissions so it isn’t about sat scores only.
If you look at last years posts, it appears that there was a group of deferred that were accepted on Jan 31st and then another large group of early/regular that were accepted/rejected on March 14th, 2013. With early action, apps were due on Nov 1st and they provided decisions on Dec 19th. Regular Action was due on Feb 1st…so it makes sense that they would provide decision in mid-march…roughly the same timing for both early and regular.
I believe I stated this earlier but I’ll state it again… UM Admissions twitter is having an admitted students live chat to answer questions on Wed, Feb 25th. I think it would seem rather pointless to release decisions the following Friday as opposed to tomorrow for the next wave of decisions so the newly admitted can have a chance to participate in that chat as well. Also, in previous years they have had a record of releasing decisions on Friday’s every other week so tomorrow seems very likely.
Hope you’re right @ackack. The last decisions were released prior to our first semester grades being submitted. We see others with scholarship offers, honors program acceptances, and visits to the school for admitted students and it seems like most of the decisions have already been made.
Two weeks ago, they apparently came out just after midnight. I didn’t know to check until I saw it on CC in the a.m. So it may be worth staying up. – But I was an EA applicant; don’t know for RD.
