so done with Michigan. i’ve lost all hope
anyone else hate the nicki minaj gif on the umich tumblr page. its so sassy
@iliveinmumbai idk cuz im Canadian, so I hope it comes out earlier. Does anyone know when the WUSTL decisions come out?
I’m actually thinking about rewriting my why UMICH essay and declaring my major even though I haven’t got in yet now that I am more sure on what I want to major in. I think it should hopefully help compared to an undecided major. Right?

Michigan supplements were a 6.5/10, a bit cookie cutter, nothing too amazing
Recommendations (rating 1-10, details):
Teacher Rec #1:
8.5/10 Didn’t read, but I’m guessing it was good. Spanish teacher who taught me for two years. I won an award in his class.
Teacher Rec #2:
7/10 Didn’t read either, but guessing it was pretty generic. Was written by my precalc teacher who liked me but didn’t LOVE me
Counselor Rec:
9/10, Guessing it was good, was pretty close with her and knows she liked me a fair amount
Additional Rec:
9/10, Again, guessing it was good. Written by my football coach who picked me as a captain.

Why you think you were accepted/deferred/rejected:
My counselor wrote an email to the admissions office in addition to her first one. She stated that UMICH was my top school and then wrote very kindly of me. I think I was on the cusp before and her email pushed me over the edge.
Where else were you accepted/deferred/rejected:
BC: Deferred
Villanova: Accepted
UMiami: Accepted w. Presidential Scholarship
Indiana @ Bloomington: Accepted w/ direct admit to Kelley and Hutton Honors College
General Comments:
If you really really want to go to Michigan, I would talk to your guidance counselor and see if she’d be willing to do anything or write you something to help you out. Good luck to all and Go Fuggin Blue!!

when did the decisions come out ?
I think only OOS were accepted today. They deferred a lot of them and I think umich is trying to get their decisions out first to get it out of the way
OOS here, no decision yet… I don’t think that’s the case though. More like, people looking to get into Ross or CoE…
Are decisions going to come out the rest of the day? Or is that it for today?
I hope they release more decisions today…I’m starting to lose hope on Michigan.
Didnt recieve a decision today, EA deffered for LSA. In state female. Guess I’ll be waiting till the March wave!! Best of luck to everyone
@Alyssaanniej, so you’re saying no more decisions today?
Cheri : Hi, my name is Cheri . How may I help you?
UofMPlease: Are anymore decisions being released today?
Cheri : We don’t announce the release ahead of time. Decisions will continue to be sent out through mid-April.
UofMPlease: Thanks
