University of Michigan Early Action / Early Decision Class of 2031 Official Thread

Welcome back for another year of decision and anticipation with knowledge and learning. Please ask questions about the school and the EA/ED process. Many that will be answering questions are parents with children that have gone to or are currently at University of Michigan -Ann Arbor. I have been on this threads for years. As we learn about new things , which happens yearly now, they will be posted. My son graduated in 2021 in Industrial Engineering. IOE. My wife went there in 1983. I lived in Michigan growing up and have been a fan of the school/ sports as a kid. I live in Chicago currently.

One thing. We are NOT the school. Everyone here does their best to answer questions. But also the school is very friendly and calling admissions can get a lot of your questions answered as well.

Just a few rules. Be Kind and helpful. There is no bantering back and forth unless I am the one doing it. :wink: . Sometimes we (I) get something wrong. Just let us know and it will be correctly. We are all human. This is not driven by AI…yet.

The application process can be difficult for some and a breeze for others. Let’s just help each other out.

Go Blue!!!

I am not here to brag but if Time Magazine says Michigan is #5 in the US then who am I to disagree.

I thought you had higher standards. #1 or bust !!!

Ahead of every Ivy except P. Interesting that UF was the #4 public. No matter the rank it’s ascending.

Congrats to UM. In rarefied air.

So people always want stats. As other schools parade their stats every time a survey is done, at Michigan great stats are the norm.

My son is currently a freshman in kinesiology (movement science) and having a great experience so far. Feel free to ask questions if you like. He applied EA last year and was admitted at the end of January.

Thanks so much! Is the cohort at the school tight knit? It doesn’t seem like there are that many students in each year.

14

Just to interject. Yes. The small cohort provides that. If the student is willing to engage they should have a great experience. It’s a top notch program like most at Michigan.

15

Yes it is a much tighter community than say LSA due to the size and the great building which serves as a hub for the students. Also many cool clubs and opportunities which are for kines students.
