University of Michigan (2022-2023)

[cosmic plinth]

epic makes sense with mayo nearby

[dusk schooner]

yea

[fickle cloak]

Why don’t u become a cs boss urself so I can come be your manager and get paid 400k

[dusk schooner]

im literally going to either get a management minor, BBA or MBA

[uneven thorn]

top employers for CS usually look like that in a lot of places tbh

[dusk schooner]

my goal is to be the boss

[uneven thorn]

ive seen very similar listings at many schools

[dusk schooner]

i run company now

i run company forever

[dusk schooner]

fs, but being the top employer also denotes that you'll more than likely get your foot in the door with them

which is a godsend to have on your resume

[uneven thorn]

yeah i agree

[reef dome]

Psychology kid

[dusk schooner]

like my cousin went from UCSD straight to one of the maang companies(idr which my parents never tell me details)

and j jumped around microsoft amazon and google

has a porsche not too long after he graduated and bought a house and is insanely well off rn... his parents live in low income housing and work retail

shit does wonders bc now he is able to do whatever he wants

not to mention bro came here from Iran at 17

[dusk schooner]

huh

[uneven thorn]

that’s gonna be me but i be even better

[dusk schooner]

also fuck psychology

my sister is a psych major and agrees

literally abandoned her psych doctorate for research marketing and an mba

[uneven thorn]

i’m friends with a few psych majors

i scored higher on ap psych exam than all of them and i constantly shit on psychology as a major

as more of a joke than an actual insult

but still

[waxen remnant]

maybe

we'll find out in like 5 days

[uneven thorn]

true

[waxen remnant]

whats a "bad" umich

[uneven thorn]

what if they release decisions on january 31st at 11:59 pm

[humble reef]

that portal change earlier today 😭

[waxen remnant]

:thon:

[uneven thorn]

idk it’s just not good. i referenced a few courses i was interested in but i just like.. listed them out?

i wasn’t too great with college apps when i wrote it it was one of my first

it’s not very personal to umich it could be switched out for like any school

besides the course names

lmao

[waxen remnant]

not my school screwing with the portal

[humble reef]

i believe u got in fam trust

[humble reef]

bruhh

i mean u cant see anything on there anyways

besides the death blue gross screen

[uneven thorn]

your schools gonna get you auto rejected if umich thinks you’re tampering with the website lmao

[dusk schooner]

Not true

They'll see it was a dns block

[waxen remnant]

is this your entire portal :dug:

[dusk schooner]

Not a manual removal

[uneven thorn]

u right

[humble reef]

yeah they got rid of everything else

[waxen remnant]

rip

[humble reef]

i tried going back to the page where i used to click on my application, it saids not found

so like they've definately shifted some stuff

[uneven thorn]

love how the application portal said “you’ll see your CS decision here” and “your decision will be here”

[waxen remnant]

when did this change happen

[uneven thorn]

meanwhile they shut down that entire part of the portal

[humble reef]

i saw it today at 8am est

[waxen remnant]

ah

so it's coming soon then

[uneven thorn]

so decision in 5 minutes

jk

[waxen remnant]

ah

[humble reef]

nah its probably friday

[ashen rock]

This page just has apocalyptic vibes

[waxen remnant]

fr man fr

[humble reef]

the page is stupid

[fluid swift]

it’s freaky ngl

[uneven thorn]

idk why they make decision day so vague

[humble reef]

it just means they're making changes on the actual thing

[fluid swift]

at least the cornell portal didn’t change too much before decisions

[humble reef]

its the stupidest shit

[waxen remnant]

because they get a gazillion applications

[uneven thorn]

if they don’t know when they’ll be done just make it january 31st idgaf just don’t make it random

[humble reef]

^^'

[waxen remnant]

true

[fluid swift]

i’m honestly just waiting for this thread to blow up that’s how i tell decisions are out

[humble reef]

im waiting for my school to suddenly erupt about it

[waxen remnant]

I nearly got heart failure when my top school told me that the decision is ready 9 days before the time they specified tho.... so

[humble reef]

thats how ill know

[uneven thorn]

ye we need an @ here if decisions released

[waxen remnant]

[fluid swift]

i hope it’s in the evening

so i’m at home

[waxen remnant]

you'll get an email

p sure

[uneven thorn]

my school has 0 umich applicants besides me. class of 376 btw

[waxen remnant]

sheeesh

[fluid swift]

crying at home is better than crying at school

[waxen remnant]

my school has at least 20 applicants to umich

and class of 120

[humble reef]

i think 80% of my grade applied 🤡

[uneven thorn]

i always get admissions decisions like hours later than the actual decision

[fluid swift]

i think we have like 10-20 out of a class of 115

[humble reef]

so like

[deft kindle]

its later than 2pm imo

[humble reef]

80 apps

no joke

[deft kindle]

iirc

[uneven thorn]

i live an hour away too

[deft kindle]

est

[fluid swift]

i live 4 hours away

[humble reef]

omg another in state person

[fluid swift]

(cross the border tho)

[uneven thorn]

no.

northwest ohio

[humble reef]

i

[uneven thorn]

unfortunately

[humble reef]

im sry

[waxen remnant]

down in ohio

[humble reef]

i cannot respect u

[waxen remnant]

swag like ohio

[uneven thorn]

lmfao

[waxen remnant]

lol

How does it feel

to live in a meme

[uneven thorn]

umich is 1 hour away OSU is 2 hours away

[fluid swift]

please not 3pm im good with 5

[uneven thorn]

give me in state istg

[humble reef]

i feel offended to even mention

ohio

[uneven thorn]

ohio didn’t use to be a meme bro

[waxen remnant]

bru it hurts me that my only acceptance so far is in ohio

no offense m8

[uneven thorn]

i think it’s funny to be in the funny state

[humble reef]

no it always was

michigan ohio rivalry from the start

[uneven thorn]

all 5 of my acceptances and deferral are in ohio

so

[waxen remnant]

:lmao:

[uneven thorn]

case western is the deferral

for yield

[fluid swift]

ohio moment 💀

[uneven thorn]

accepted to OSU main tho

[humble reef]

boo

sry

[uneven thorn]

but ofc

[humble reef]

its an automatic reaction

[uneven thorn]

they have like 60% acceptance rate

[waxen remnant]

ah

[waxen remnant]

idk how to feel bc they didn't yield protect me 💀

[uneven thorn]

you got in?

[waxen remnant]

y

[fluid swift]

yield is so confusing

[waxen remnant]

but I got deferred from GT

in state

[fluid swift]

and unnecessary 😔

[waxen remnant]

which is sadge

imo

and i def wasn't yield protected from GT bc one of my genius friends got in

so I was just stupidity protected

😭

[uneven thorn]

i think i was deferred for yield protection idk why case wouldn’t admit a 35/4.0/top 1% class applicant otherwise

they’re not that selective

probably just not showing interest enough

[waxen remnant]

no distinction from other applicants maybe?

idk

[uneven thorn]

OSU’s better for CS anyways so i don’t care about the defer in that sense. my pride was hurt though

lol

[waxen remnant]

I feel ya 100%

GT in state has a 40% acceptance rate

and I didn't even get in

💀

[uneven thorn]

i’m jealous of that rate

but damn

college is dumb !!

[waxen remnant]

well clearly that rate meant nothing on me :lmao:

and I'm like also pretty competitive for GT imo

[humble reef]

rates are so fucking stupid

i got into my safeies but besides that its been 💀

[turbid burrow]

wut were ur stats

[uneven thorn]

GT as in gtech

or

[turbid burrow]

ive only heard from my ed which was a rejection smh

[waxen remnant]

35 ACT, 3.91 uw

[humble reef]

:( sry to hear that

[waxen remnant]

sry man

which ed tho

[turbid burrow]

columbia

[uneven thorn]

someone asked me once if OSU was a safety for me

[waxen remnant]

ah

[turbid burrow]

fair enough

[waxen remnant]

columbia is stupid anyways

[uneven thorn]

and i didn’t know how to answer without sounding like a dick

[waxen remnant]

you just say yes

[turbid burrow]

ye

[uneven thorn]

i don’t want everyone to hate me tho yk

[waxen remnant]

also it's THE osu

[uneven thorn]

tru tru

[turbid burrow]

Michigan better

[waxen remnant]

the 'the' is vital

[uneven thorn]

i don’t really care for OSU tbh

[waxen remnant]

otherwise I got no idea what ur talking about

[deft kindle]

osu <<<

[uneven thorn]

i don’t watch football either

so i’d rather be in michigan anyways

[waxen remnant]

Ohhh sam

[uneven thorn]

my family on the other hand

[turbid burrow]

@deft kindle do u go to the games?

[uneven thorn]

big OSU fans

[waxen remnant]

can engineers study abroad

easily

[turbid burrow]

L fans

[waxen remnant]

cuz ik some colleges have too many reqs for engineers for them to study abroad

[deft kindle]

yeah

[deft kindle]

yeah, engineers have their own study abroad dept

called IPE

[waxen remnant]

:pog: I'l google that

I wanna go to japannnn

[uneven thorn]

pog

[deft kindle]

u can do lsa study abroad programs too if u want

but IPE allows for engineering classes whilst abroad

[uneven thorn]

i mean shit with how much we’d be paying umich they’d better let us study abroad

[waxen remnant]

ah I see

btw does mich autoconsider scholarships for EA applicants 👀

cuz i forgor to do fafsa

[uneven thorn]

i fucking hope

oh i did fafsa but my EFC is 30k for some absurd reason

[deft kindle]

also regarding games, u get the student discount for season tix, so its smart to buy anyway and sell later. made 200+ bucks that way

[uneven thorn]

alternative: sell football

[humble reef]

financial aid deadline is march 15 pretty sure

u need fafsa and css by both parents

priority deadline was december

[uneven thorn]

css actually makes me wanna kms

[humble reef]

oh it did

[uneven thorn]

and why does harvard want the make and model of my mothers car

for css profile

jfc

[humble reef]

bruh

[turbid burrow]

huh xD

[humble reef]

this is why i dont apply for harvard, knowing i wont get in 😎

[waxen remnant]

oh nice

[uneven thorn]

it’s wack af

[waxen remnant]

but if the deadline is so late

[humble reef]

i dont think youll know aid stuff right away

[waxen remnant]

im confuzzed

[humble reef]

they used to have estimated dates on the portal

but portal died

[uneven thorn]

i see a deadline and i don’t worry about it until the day before

[waxen remnant]

if only we had that portal now

[waxen remnant]

fax man

[uneven thorn]

they butchered the portal

tears

[waxen remnant]

they probably did that because of how many emails they might be getting about decision release date

[uneven thorn]

it’s ok the umich applicant portal kinda ugly af tbh

[waxen remnant]

fr it is

[humble reef]

its just so

frusturating

[waxen remnant]

my favorite portal so far is Northwestern's

very well made portal

[deft kindle]

i never interact w the undergrad admissions dept at all nowadays

[uneven thorn]

my favorite is caltech’s portal

it’s so cute

they have beaver clipart on the top right and it’s adorable

[waxen remnant]

lollll

[uneven thorn]

and it looks modern and well made

[waxen remnant]

nice

[deft kindle]

anyway, do any of you enjoy multivariable calculus 😃

would you like to do some for me :)

[uneven thorn]

why do like 90% of my application portals for literal T20 colleges look like the source code was last modified before i was born

[waxen remnant]

caltech was my #2 choice school....but I didn't apply bc too many essays and i'm too stupid to get in

[humble reef]

basic calculus makes me want to end it all

[deft kindle]

i enjoyed calc i actually

not calc ii

[waxen remnant]

im only in bc 💀

[uneven thorn]

8 whole ass essays when i know damn well i’m not getting in

[deft kindle]

only

ur in hs

dw

[waxen remnant]

and so far, it's not bad at all

[uneven thorn]

my school doesn’t even offer bc

[waxen remnant]

ah

[deft kindle]

i just assumed that some a2cers would prob know multi

[waxen remnant]

ikr

I wrote 3 of them

then was like

yeah no

[deft kindle]

but that's an assumption cuz ppl r crazy here

[waxen remnant]

I am done

[waxen remnant]

bro fr

[uneven thorn]

someone def does just not me and my calc ab ass

[humble reef]

my school technically doesnt offer ap calc but its built into curriculum (i do ib 🤡)

[deft kindle]

i took calc AB in my senior year

dw guys

[uneven thorn]

why my german keyboard autocorrecting ass to aß

[deft kindle]

i enjoyed AB calc

[uneven thorn]

AB calc is peaceful

nobody else at my school agrees

but i’m relaxed

[deft kindle]

calc ii is markedly uglier

calc iii is just worse!

[uneven thorn]

that’s what my calc teacher says

well he says calc 3 is easier

than calc 2

[waxen remnant]

the engineer study abroad thing doesn't have japan 😭

ig i'll do it through LSA if I get in

[deft kindle]

changes every year

[waxen remnant]

ah

[deft kindle]

like they add and remove programs n stuff

[uneven thorn]

are you japanese or just big on japanese culture?

[deft kindle]

they usually give info sessions in the fall

[waxen remnant]

lessgo

[waxen remnant]

i am weeb

i want to live in japan after i am done with corporate 'muricca

Well

I hope I get into Mch

mich

no point in doing this research now ig

[wraith herald]

you got it bro

[deft kindle]

lots

depends on who u r

[waxen remnant]

Oh is there

[deft kindle]

and what u like

[waxen remnant]

Boba

on campus

[deft kindle]

lots and lots of boba

u wont have any shortage of boba

[waxen remnant]

LETS GO

[uneven thorn]

valid. i love anime but i don’t get super into it in the same way

i’m on my third naruto rewatch 💀

[waxen remnant]

ayyyy

you should check out my MAL account

[uneven thorn]

at the pain fight atm

[waxen remnant]

ShinyGhoul999

[waxen remnant]

😭

[deft kindle]

a place called quickly isn't that bad imo, and also its close by and not too busy

[waxen remnant]

I almost cried

[deft kindle]

i also like coffee

[uneven thorn]

i havent updated my MAL in years

[deft kindle]

ann arbor has good coffee shops imo

and all are super student friendly

[uneven thorn]

my family loves going up to ann arbor

umich is just super convenient for me with my location

[deft kindle]

yeah fr. ann arbor is so fun, which is why i chose umich

[waxen remnant]

lowkey if I get in... i'd 100% visit ann arbor

[deft kindle]

i before wasnt as enthusiastic

[uneven thorn]

i’ve literally never been to ann arbor

my family goes up all the time

[waxen remnant]

why'd you choose mich btw

[uneven thorn]

for random things

[deft kindle]

ann arbor LITERALLY changed my mind bruh like

[potent birch]

denied OSU :,)

[deft kindle]

i realized that like

[uneven thorn]

if i get into umich i’ll visit ann arbor soon

just spend a few hours there and go back home

[deft kindle]

ann arbor was a large enough and diverse enough place that i would not get bored

[potent birch]

better deferred than denied

[deft kindle]

that i could spend 4 years there and not see everything, yet still feel like it was my town yk

[uneven thorn]

dw bro a few of my friends got deferred from OSU who were overqualified imo

[deft kindle]

like there's a strong sense of place

[uneven thorn]

and ik someone who got accepted who is way under qualified

[dusk schooner]

hello guys

[deft kindle]

no need. ann arbor has extensive public transport + is super walkable

[dusk schooner]

quick question

will there be any uh

valuable info

appearing in the wolverine access portal

b4 friday

[uneven thorn]

what if i live an hour away and want to be able to go home sometimes

[deft kindle]

umich has its blue bus system and ann arbor has its own public bus system free to umich students called the ride

[dusk schooner]

holy shit

yalll too?

[uneven thorn]

no one’s gonna know that i don’t think

udub has a sweet subway system

or whatever it’s called

[waxen remnant]

be there soon guys

[uneven thorn]

idk but it was very nice

[dusk schooner]

cant beat the bbb

mf brought me home from school fo ryears

[deft kindle]

student govt runs busses to places + there are busses from the ride/aata (ann arbor public transport) has busses to the surrounding area

like i know friends that go to their homes in the detroit metro abt an hour away using the busses

plus there's an amtrak station in ann arbor

[uneven thorn]

hmm

idk how much of that goes into ohio though

[deft kindle]

not sure

i know someone who took the bus home to canada

lmao

[uneven thorn]

i don’t see a lot of public transportation around here

very occasionally i see a bus

[waxen remnant]

was there no like

passport check

💀

[deft kindle]

there was apparently

but like

idk

they took the bus to detroit and then from detroit to toronto

[waxen remnant]

sheeesh I wanna do that

[deft kindle]

apparently it was < 20 usd

like

[uneven thorn]

alright but how much time

[waxen remnant]

the best thai food I've ever had is from Toronto

[deft kindle]

5 hrs

[waxen remnant]

no way

[uneven thorn]

ok valid

[waxen remnant]

That's huge

I'm sold

accept me mich

[deft kindle]

midwest prices

[uneven thorn]

i’ll see if i can get a bus into the area i live

actually

idek where i’ll put my car at home

[deft kindle]

im from ny so shit is cheap even if midwesterners say ann arbor is "expensive"

LMAO

[waxen remnant]

ah

idk how prices are like in Atl

probably mid range

def not LA or NYC expensive

[deft kindle]

also the ann arbor busses take u to ypsi too if u want, and things are DIRT cheap in ypsi

[waxen remnant]

ypsi?

[uneven thorn]

shit in ny is pricey bro i’ve been there twice and my wallet leaves hungry

[deft kindle]

like u can get a 4.5/5 yelp restaurant meal for 6 dollars ypsilanti michigan

[deft kindle]

ypsilanti, its a neighboring city to ann arbor

[uneven thorn]

i’m a picky eater but i love a good gourmet plain burger

lol

[deft kindle]

its connected by public transport, and is about a mile away

[deft kindle]

that's easy to find cheap in ann arbor tbh

[waxen remnant]

you gotta think about the audience too
which food critics are going to ypsilanti michigan

[uneven thorn]

alr cool

[waxen remnant]

but that's still huge

[deft kindle]

but also there are really good ones that are more expensive

[waxen remnant]

as long as I can eat the food, I like it

[deft kindle]

i live in a good area, my dorm is called mosher jordan and its nice

[uneven thorn]

i don’t gotta pay off debt until 4 years end right

[deft kindle]

there's a dorm called stockwell

[uneven thorn]

so i can spend my money and embrace debt

[deft kindle]

stockwell is BEAUTIFUL

i shit you not

like

every time i pass by it

[waxen remnant]

is there a music area as well? and like practice rooms or whatever

on campus

[uneven thorn]

i’d imagine

[uneven thorn]

lemme in

[deft kindle]

yeah many dorms have practice rooms in the common areas

[waxen remnant]

ooh nice

[uneven thorn]

i’d lowkey withdraw every application i’ve submitted if it meant a umich acceptance

i just want security

[deft kindle]

one of the dorms next to mine is stockwell, another is alice lloyd. alice lloyd has private practice rooms w instruments and also they have an art studio

[waxen remnant]

I wouldn't
but i get you

[deft kindle]

but yeah idk why but stockwell is so fucking beautiful

its the one dorm i look at and im like gah damn

[uneven thorn]

well i’d rather get into umich than have to chance a bunch of ivies and t10s

[waxen remnant]

:prayge:

Ok so what I'm most nervous about as well is that

for Mich

I have a very low level recruitment status

but idk how it'll effect my app for CoE since it's debate recruitment

[deft kindle]

this is my dorm

i am in an MLC so i was guaranteed housing in a good dorm on central campus

i had to apply for the MLC but honestly wasn't too hard

i bs'ed the essay

[waxen remnant]

wow fancy

[deft kindle]

yeah

i think

i dont remember

my MLC is called MRADS

stands for michigan research and discovery scholars

i enjoy it

[waxen remnant]

ooh cool

[deft kindle]

we get guaranteed research with faculty

as first years

[waxen remnant]

wow

do yk what the other MLCs are

[dusk schooner]

btw guys

get ready for friday

public ivy day

[deft kindle]

yeah there's one where u get to do writing, there's one where you're a health scholar or something so you get to shadow drs

im not sure

[waxen remnant]

fr

[deft kindle]

MRADS is the most prestigious i think

[dusk schooner]

all of these + uiuc and gtech are prolly releasing

PROLLY

MAYBE IM WRONG BUT PROLLY

[waxen remnant]

sheeesh

also UICU

UIUC

[deft kindle]

i got into UIUC 😳

[dusk schooner]

read mf i said that

[waxen remnant]

of 20 people who applied at my school last year, I think only 4 or 5 got in

and 2 commit

[deft kindle]

and northeastern

[waxen remnant]

sheeesh

[deft kindle]

if you wanna know my reasons for not choosing other schools i could also disclose lol

[waxen remnant]

yes plz

I'm applying to all 3

[quaint frigate]

Same for all of those

[deft kindle]

uiuc bc i found that the commute to and from the airport would be really cumbersome if i wanted to go home for break

[quaint frigate]

But I also have NC state next Monday

[deft kindle]

additionally, although the engineering program is super strong, i wanted a school that could offer more well rounded options if i happened to change my mind

yeah that too, ann arbor seemed to offer what urbana had + more

[waxen remnant]

it is relatively close to chicago tho

[waxen remnant]

👍

[dusk schooner]

how's the party life

its umich so gotta be good

right

[deft kindle]

urbana to chicago is 2/3 hrs, plus then airport time and flight time

[waxen remnant]

i took a train from Chicago to St Louis ... and we took a break in Urbana and it was only 2 hours away

[deft kindle]

so i didnt wanna do that

[waxen remnant]

ic ic

[deft kindle]

its good if u want, party time starts thurs nights. u can always find any kind of party ur looking for if u want

but also not obligated

i dont party much

[dusk schooner]

valid

[waxen remnant]

ah

makes sense

[noble sedge]

did u have any ecs that related to bme engineering when applying

[deft kindle]

nope

[waxen remnant]

what about like general STEM ECs?

I feel like I lack those

and I'm applying ChemE

[noble sedge]

i applied as a bme major but i dont have any engineering ecs bc i found my interest for the major pretty late into my junior year 😭

the only engineering related thing i have in my application is engineering classes i took freshman and senior year

[deft kindle]

i didnt choose northeastern bc i wanted to graduate in 4 years, worried about reintegrating back after co-op/abroad programs etc, and i also heard many issues with their housing and accommodating for students mainly bc theyve grown so fast so quickly

additionally their engineering program pales in comparison to umich or uiuc

[waxen remnant]

yeah I feel the same way

[reef dome]

Foot In door phenomenon

[waxen remnant]

you stub your foot with the door

[deft kindle]

nah not really i didnt lol, i mean i built my dog a wheelchair

[dusk schooner]

oh

i use that on a daily basis

as well as door in the face

[deft kindle]

i chose not to go to BU bc even tho i enjoy boston, umich oos still much cheaper for stronger engineering program

[deft kindle]

COA for BU is 80k a year lol

probably my essays, i wrote my essays on a creative streak idk

i had relatively strong stats and upward trend to begin w

but i think it was my essays that set me apart

i spent HOURS on umich engineering site, and i rewrote the essays several times. it was umich's essays i wrote from scratch and copied and adapted for others

i also considered CWRU for BME (they actually are t10 bc of the cleveland clinic) but i hated cleveland, even though case did give me 34k/year merit scholarship

a bunch of people from my school got accepted

but my school is quite competitive

i know around ~20/400 that got accepted

im sure there's more idk abt

around 10 went

including myself

[waxen remnant]

yeah neither do i :lmao:

[deft kindle]

my school was a little crazy though tbh

[waxen remnant]

but I didn't build my dog a wheelchair

[deft kindle]

i wouldnt use my hs as a point of comparison

[deft kindle]

we sent 3 people to MIT, 3 to harvard, 3 to yale, 7 to cornell 6 to williams, etc so like again, its stupid

do not compare based on my hs

nah my ECs were weak

[turbid burrow]

well dam

[waxen remnant]

sheeesh

[turbid burrow]

personally i think my essays were the weakest part of my app

[waxen remnant]

My umich essays are pretty mid imo except the communities one

aka my Why Umich essay is kinda mid

[turbid burrow]

submitted ea before i rly figured out wut i was doing

[waxen remnant]

fr

my RD apps have my best essays as well

[deft kindle]

i will also say my school didnt offer that many APs, didn't have class rank or val/salutatorian

[waxen remnant]

ah

[deft kindle]

but we were public competitive hs

i actually went to hs with another person in a2c here

ally

[turbid burrow]

ye did 20+ schools by the time we hit rd it was ez

[waxen remnant]

damnn

I only applied to like 9 or 10 EA

[turbid burrow]

i wish mine didnt do class rank

[deft kindle]

i wouldve been maybe top third but like

my school was competitive

[turbid burrow]

Good luck all! Hope we all get in 😄

[bleak kestrel]

My AP Language teacher worked as admissions at UChicago for years and has connections in UMich that say Thursday, take that with a grain of salt tho

[fresh lark]

Thursday afternoon probably right?

Damn that'll be Friday morning during school for me

[humble reef]

i have no idea at this point

but at least like ik they did something behind the scenes bc now when i login i select my application instead of automatically going to the blue screen (still goes to it)

[humble reef]

i tried going through another way to maybe see if it would say if i got in or not, only states like my app id and program but not decision

[fluid swift]

plot twist its tomorrow

[dusk schooner]

its not

[humble reef]

dont even say that

[fluid swift]

[dusk schooner]

its always closed 4 days b4 release

[humble reef]

its most likely friday

[dusk schooner]

not most likely

100%

there isn't any reason for it not to be

historically ALWAYS been last Fri of Jan

[humble reef]

that they're trolling

"historically" once my school got results on christmas eve 🤡

[fluid swift]

fr they might switch things up

[dusk schooner]

and historically they ALWAYS close the portal 4 days b4 mich

use your brain

they're following the prev patterns

portal closed 4 days b4

[humble reef]

ive been trying to reach my results another way in their websites

[dusk schooner]

[inland skiff]

Yes

[dense jolt]

Ye

[idle stone]

aight

thanks

im prepared for dissapointment lol

I applied for Ross

[inland skiff]

I applied for CS so I think I’ll be in the same disappointment boat

[idle stone]

yeah. its my top pick. I would have done ED, but no option lol

how do you feel you stack up?

[dense jolt]

I Applied LSA

scary times

[idle stone]

I think I did LSA to Ross? Idk anymore

im scared to go onto the page lol

[dense jolt]

I keep refreshing lol

Even tho I know it’s Friday

[idle stone]

I feel you

@dense jolt what are your stats? ACT, GPA, etc.

[reef dome]

Nice!

Well did you do four essays or two

[idle stone]

I think three.,.. I might be having a stroke

[reef dome]

Neither has three lol

Lsa is community/diverse and why mich

[dense jolt]

One sec

[idle stone]

no, 4. The two specific Ross, and then the 2 Michigan

[reef dome]

Ross has portfolio and business cases

[idle stone]

yeah. I did that

[reef dome]

Ok then you applied to Ross

[idle stone]

Ross with LSA questions

[reef dome]

I regret not doing that tbh

I live in a community that has nothing

[idle stone]

i think it was the best move. I will still probably get rejected tho

[reef dome]

Could still get into LSA tho

@deft kindle btw could I get an mba after doing ppe in lsa

My dad keeps scolding me for not doing Ross

[idle stone]

yeah. Thats the hope. If I get into business at UIUC and LSA at Michigan, idk which to pic

pick

i mean... if I get into UIUC business, im gonna cry

and buy my entire school fake champagne or somethign

I am in drexel, thats it

if I get into Mich Ross, imma throw a rager

lol

[dense jolt]

I only listed my top 5 ECs

[reef dome]

You like Uiuc? Interesting

As an illinois kid, no one seems to appreciate it

[idle stone]

well FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK. Nice stats Faziz! If you don't get in, none of us are

[idle stone]

Yeah. It's probably top 3. It's a great campus, nice people, etc. Michigan academics are better tho

[reef dome]

Ayy nice!!!

Agreed I just didn’t apply bc I wanna get away

@dense jolt why r u so stressed man

U seem like u have a rly good shot

[idle stone]

I feel you. I dont want UMD bc I wanna leave

[dense jolt]

thanks guys but ngl getting deferred from Case ruined my confidence

[idle stone]

also, all the stats are fucky. The average stats, bc covid and shit

FAziz, youll be fine!

Case is a BITCH to get into. Unless you basically live on their campus to demonstrate interest, they arent accepting lol

I know a girl who got into MIT, and deffered from Case

I got differed from fucking Pitt...

[dense jolt]

oh damn

It’s okay bro I’m sure we’ll all be fine

we’re all smart I think

[idle stone]

I also placed second in a US national competition wiht NASA!!!!

like, a fairly good soudning accomplishmetn

but naw

[dense jolt]

Nah don’t say that bro 😭😭😭

[idle stone]

lol

[dense jolt]

DAMN

[reef dome]

Ayyy!!

I think I have good stats

But we shall see

[idle stone]

the NASA kibo challenge. I organized the team, etc. and still got differed

only got into Drexel so far

[dense jolt]

Drexel deferred me 😀😀

I got into Temple and Pitt

[reef dome]

Defferals aren’t bad

Still mean you’re qualified

Rn I’m in at Villanova and Kelley at least

[dense jolt]

Thankssss

I just rlly like UMich

So hopefully

It’s so competitive bro

[idle stone]

WTF. Drexel is smoking something. Tbf, Drexel always accepts ppl from my school. Like, every person, even with a 80 GPA and 1100 SAT gets in

We are a drexel feeder lol

[dense jolt]

It’s okay I wouldn’t go anyways I don’t wanna get shot 😭😭

Pitt is my backup

And pitts a good school!

I’m hella thankful tbh I sometimes think abt how grateful I should be

[idle stone]

yeah

[reef dome]

Lowkey Michigan might be too big of a school

Scary big

But whatever

[dense jolt]

I love Michigan

[idle stone]

Michigan is big, but nice. You can dissapear L)

🙂

[dense jolt]

LMAO

I Hope we all get in ppl

What’s their EA acceptance

[reef dome]

Oos or in state

I think oos is like 18%

[idle stone]

I'm also OOS

FUCK

[reef dome]

47% for in state

[dense jolt]

I’m OOS agh

in state is insane

[reef dome]

Yeahh it sucks

Makes sense but still

Wish they were private

[dense jolt]

same

[fluid swift]

woah 47 is crazy

it’s like a coin toss 😭

[worthy orbit]

a loaded coin tbh

i mean ur basically guaranteed if ur above avg stats

[idle stone]

yeah.... I'm not lucky tho. OOS, Above Ave ACT, Below Ave GPA... Above Ave ECs I hope

[cinder glacier]

I think

Ask me for some screenshots from this server that’ll show you

[idle stone]

lol

i wanna see thjem

[cinder glacier]

Choose a day

Like

Any day of the year

[idle stone]

january third

[dense jolt]

Ya

[cinder glacier]

Depending on if you want college admissions or not you have two choices

[dense jolt]

LMAO

[idle stone]

lol

ok

thank you

that barnard thing tho... politics aside... if you arent a woman, you shouldnt go

[deft kindle]

isk

idk

LOL

[idle stone]

anyone else here aiming for a 5 year MBA?

[worthy orbit]

the all-women colleges are actually highly ranked

theres like no all-men colleges that rank high

[dense jolt]

The nerves r kicking in

[idle stone]

the nerves are FLYING

you are fine tho

[formal bridge]

i am not as good as the average a2c person and after seeing the stats of the people on here i lost hope 💀💀

the nerves are gone

just hoping for a defer

[deep drum]

fr

feel you

[cerulean tiger]

keyword: average a2c person

not representative of the overall applicant pool

plus youre likely going to be more harsh on yourself

dont sell yourself short like that

obviously dont stress over it but you are definitely good enough

[formal bridge]

it seems like enough to have anything less than a 1500 at this point 💀

[reef dome]

Oos or in stats

In state

In state, trust yourself a bit more

[formal bridge]

oos

[reef dome]

Out of state is the same, just know what you’re up against

Not just A2C kids

Depends on major too but yeah

[formal bridge]

yeah im going for oos COE so not great

[dusk schooner]

Barely any

A2c kids are not a threat

[sturdy valley]

honestly i think this is funny

ppl are saying it will hurt u which is logical but i actually think it’s good (even tho i wouldn’t personally use it)

bc u did ur research and that’s a hilarious unique thing abt umich

like i feel like u could get a surprise acceptance

[night epoch]

Y’all tried to be funny in your essays

I just wrote some stuff

Not funny stuff

Not sad stuff

Just “stuff”

Interesting stuff but “stuff” nonetheless

Af least all of us wrote stuff

[royal chasm]

My “why Michigan” essay was basically just my life plan and how Michigan fits into it

[deep drum]

me too

how umich would be the perfect stepping stone

[idle stone]

Thst was basically everyone

Anyone considering transfer to Michigan?

If they don't get like top 3 as a first year?

[deep drum]

idt it was a prompt to go creative in

[idle stone]

Yeah. I was slightly creative, discussing programs and shit. But that's it

[dusk schooner]

???
