[cloud shadow]

i don’t think it can go lower lol

[carmine lagoon]

mine is like 20k
im willing to do 20k

not 45k

[ornate marten]

yea rip that sucks

i think they got some merit based stuff

[carmine lagoon]

fucked up that your EFC is 0 and mine is 20k and it's the same price

[cloud shadow]

why is my efc 20k lower yet my fin aid is the same

bruh

[ornate marten]

maybe appeal

:/

[carmine lagoon]

hard for oos

[ornate marten]

@fickle cloak

[carmine lagoon]

im also so unenthusiastic about applying for honors 💀 like i have a test tomorrow

i love michigan but omfg why bother

[cloud shadow]

we are in the same boat fr

[carmine lagoon]

fr

[cloud shadow]

what’s your edII

[fickle cloak]

004509

[carmine lagoon]

WashU

[fickle cloak]

same or else i would of done nyu

money problems

[cloud shadow]

oh washu > mich

i bet you they have much better aid!!

[cloud shadow]

real. nyu has suspicious fin aid

i feel like some people get great aid and others get absolutely fucked somehow

[fickle cloak]

yeah hoping for a rd acceptance and a fat package

[warm topaz]

Wait

On common app it said nothing about a mid year report

Do I have to send it

[carmine lagoon]

yep! mine would be basically just my EFC which is perfectly reasonable and I have a legit shot at their scholarships

[fathom trout]

do they even pay attention to efc bc this is ab 30k more than mine 😭 i wasn’t even going to be able to pay my efc anyway

[verbal granite]

kill me

[rose flume]

ye

im doing it

[sturdy orchid]

What r u writing 😭

I submitted Jan 20

[rose flume]

idk yet lol

[sturdy orchid]

so idk what to update them on in two weeks

[rose flume]

prob sth abt a new thing

or just ig just what's happening in recent days with me regarding for um's stuff

like idk new vids i watch and stuff i discovered more abt um

[wet meadow]

i completely missed that it was a loci in addition to an update form and just wrote my updated list of accomplishments 😭

[normal crystal]

do i basically boasst abt their school

[rose flume]

lol

wait

i can't rmb

can we send umich our resume?

[hallow needle]

HOW

my net cost is $61k and my efc is 0…. it’s not adding up 😭 how would one appeal this

[pine lantern]

I love Umich but the tuition is just … 😭

[verbal granite]

fr

[rose flume]

I mean

Ngl paying for unich ross 70k ish

Is pretty decent

Wait nvm

I f’ed up that no.

[deft kindle]

be annoying as fuck to the finaid office

have no shame

[slate heart]

If you’re getting literal crumbs of aid how annoying do you have to be to get like a substantial amount?

For oos 🫠

Literally paying 64k per year with all the scholarship and loans

[deft kindle]

depends on what u mean by substantial. and yeah oos is rlly tough cuz umichs priority for finaid goes to instate

cuz it IS a public university

[cosmic plinth]

Nah these state schools are on something fr

My EFC is 15k and UW Madison wants me to pay 48k and umiami wants 31k even with full tuition

[frosty birch]

my efc is <3k and miami wants 19,000 i’m digging for scholarships

[cosmic plinth]

Damn

[frosty birch]

yeah….

[cosmic plinth]

I can't find any scholarships I would actually have a chance at

[frosty birch]

howard wanted 30 so this is acc p good

[cosmic plinth]

I'm not terribly creative with fantasy stories or anything

[frosty birch]

I am a creative but the thing is I don’t have time 😭

[slate heart]

Which I get that but fr, 64k? I don’t expect to pay instate tuition but still

[deft kindle]

yeah i mean i get ur frustration but also im j a student

email them

[rose flume]

damn

uva really be above umich for this one

[rocky ridge]

bruh rip

im in state and after aid its 13k/yr for me

[vague beacon]

bruh don't flex on us OOS folks like that 😭

[rose flume]

damn 🥲

[rose flume]

https://tenor.com/view/slap-beatdown-smackdown-smacked-baby-gif-21587938

[slate heart]

I am

[high flax]

whats wolverine access

and do I get no fin aid as an international

[high nebula]

are honors decisions rolling or are they all at once?

[high flax]

Anyone else get stalked on social media by UM students 😭😂

[vague beacon]

ayo???

wdym by that

[high flax]

A student requested to follow me lmao

[vague beacon]

oh

weird

my acc is public so i wouldn't even know

lmao

[frosty birch]

[high flax]

Maybe it was u cuz their account was public lol

[vague beacon]

oh i'm not a umich student

lmfao

i'm a prospective transfer

[proper violet]

all at once (i think) they have it posted on the honors website on which dates

[high nebula]

yeah its up there but their wording is a bit strange

"All applications received by 11:59pm (Eastern Time Zone) on this date will have a decision sent out via email by 11pm on March 2, 2023"

maybe im looking too much into it

[proper violet]

PLS

i saw that too and was confused 😭✋

[vague beacon]

btw, for the honors college, do we apply once we get in?

or before

[high nebula]

after u get in

also its not an honors college technically speaking, just an honors program

ur still in lsa

[vague beacon]

oh po

pog

ty for the info!

[hushed iris]

are deferred decisions rolling/in waves or all at once in march?

[proper violet]

in waves

[hushed iris]

do you know when they start?

[reef dome]

Rolling

And start 3 weeks after it came out

So I think next Friday

Like next week Friday

[hushed iris]

😭

do yall think cs will come out in waves at the same time?

for accepted ea deferred cs

[old dove]

thats quick

[river vessel]

So if I submitted my loci yesterday will they even read it by then or have they already decide 💀

[old dove]

any evidence?

[fleet lodge]

for the loci should we thank the admissions committee

i was thinking of not including it bc of the limited space

[old dove]

i would think it is good to do so

[reef dome]

My counselor

Over phone so no source sorry bae

[reef dome]

They probs don’t even look at you until you submit loci

[old dove]

😭

i submitted my loci a week ago so heres to hope

[sturdy orchid]

did u ea or rd

[old dove]

deferred ea

[sturdy orchid]

ah

[old dove]

how much do u trust this counselor of urs

[reef dome]

A lot

School counselor but they’re p good

We have abt 30 kids a year get into much oos

So she has experience there

She didn’t say exact timeline but batches of 3 weeks

[sturdy orchid]

do u know for rd

like when is the latest u can submit eoci

[reef dome]

Why would you submit an loci for rd

[old dove]

https://tenor.com/view/blind-leading-the-blind-no-idea-hopeless-clueless-alexa-davalos-gif-15585247

[sturdy orchid]

idk they gave the option

[old dove]

fr?

[reef dome]

Pic

[sturdy orchid]

so might as well

[reef dome]

But isn’t everything already updated

[sturdy orchid]

wait nvm

[old dove]

y would they, didn't rd just submit applications like a week ago

[sturdy orchid]

they litr have a date on it

march 17

[reef dome]

Send a pic

Probs do it in mid feb

Or late

[sturdy orchid]

im p sure this is the same thing u guys got for ea

[reef dome]

Interesting

So any updates from Jan 1 to march 17

[sturdy orchid]

yea

i thought theyd make decisions before that tho

[reef dome]

Probs

But they don’t love rd

So doing this would help

[sturdy orchid]

really?

how hard is it oos rd vs ea

[reef dome]

Well ea is how you show that you’re interested usually

It’s not like they hate rd kids but some spots are already taken and you decided to apply later

Still plenty of chance tho

[river vessel]

Hopefully they read my app 🙏

Because I really wanna get into Ross but if I don’t get into lsa soon then I won’t hear from Ross until like mid April)

I also could not get in all together so we shall see haha

[proper violet]

best wishes!!

[rose flume]

Ross students be like 🙂

The wait is long

[winged glen]

I heard from Dearborn & Flint quite unexpectedly through email, will Ann Arbor also do the same soon or only in April?

[rare swift]

1 week until Ross decisiosn

[rose flume]

really?

aint no way?

[golden orchid]

my umich is 68k

💀

[ripe forum]

Hello, any community/server for '27 admits?

[humble reef]

since Dearborn and flint are small, they just do rolling admission, ann arbor will take time probably until march/april

[ripe forum]

is UM Flint worth it for an international if i got their OOS waiver

[reef dome]

Do you like the school

[ripe forum]

I don't know anything about it

Just that it'll cost me ~ 45k less per year than the Ann Arbor campus

[reef dome]

Ann Arbor is a much better school when it comes to academics

Flint has also had environmental problems in the past

[ripe forum]

Oh i see

Also wtf 9 Acceptances???

[reef dome]

Lmaoo

[ripe forum]

that's crazy congrats

[reef dome]

Nothing that crazy

But thanks!

[ripe forum]

Avg a2c moment

What's your top rn?

[reef dome]

Crossed out means I don’t want to go there

I’m also oos for the state schools

UNC is fav that I’m into; Duke/cornell are top

[ripe forum]

You just need 1 anyway

[proper thorn]

Much different vibe. It’s more of a commuter school. Doesn’t have the same global prestige and doesn’t get as many nice resources as Ann Arbor

[reef dome]

Exacto

[proper thorn]

Don’t expect rolling until March

If I had to give a date, March 10th seems like a likely candidate for when decisions will start coming out

[limber tiger]

I applied to the University of Michigan on RD deadline and it prompted me to submit an EOCI. Does that mean I was deferred/rejected? kinda confused how they work

[proper thorn]

No

Everyone has the option of doing so

[limber tiger]

thank u

[proper thorn]

Np

And if anyone is on the fence about doing so, if Michigan is your top choice, I would highly recommend doing one

If you already have a great option and Michigan isn’t that high on your list, then I don’t think you need to do one

[humble reef]

probably getting loci done sooner the better right?

i still have no clue what to rly put for mine

[proper thorn]

Yeah

My advice would be to use your loci as a way to address any weaknesses in your application

[humble reef]

🥴 i know ig one bigger weakness is my sat, i took one more test after ea and i got the same score but higher superscore, my counselor said not to send it though

[north leaf]

Damn I’d for sure go to UMich but I can’t afford it, they gave me next to nothing in aid

I am depression

[humble reef]

:(

the only reason i hoping to get in is due to aid lmao

[thick panther]

yeah oos tuition is wild

[north leaf]

Wishing my mom never moved out of Michigan to the hellscape that is Missouri

Today in my school

[humble reef]

i forgot about missouri being a state 💀

but yeah oos tuition is absolute bonkers

[north leaf]

We not only had racist drawing found but also had a school shooting threat

[proper violet]

oos aid is weird bc ik people who got nothing but then other people who got 30k 😭 with relatively same need

[north leaf]

And these incidents happen so often that our school is on the news

I literally think AOs probably look down on me because my school is notorious for being horrible

[humble reef]

it seems like a lotto literally

[proper thorn]

Any recent accomplishments are good to mention and get specific about why you want to go to Michigan

Like highlight specific programs, specific classes, specific things about the culture

[humble reef]

uh ig i finished a bigger paper? i mean the main reason i want to attend is pre-admission aid offer that would make it affordable ig

pretty sure i highlighted that in my main app though

[proper thorn]

I would try and find more reasons

Like specific programs

[north leaf]

Talk about niche clubs that’s what I did

You can take my spot

[proper violet]

or like study abroad programs 😭 or the residential colleges like the research one

[humble reef]

maybe ill try to find something more less known ig

i know a few people that attend currently maybe i can ask them for fun info?

[proper thorn]

What do you want to major in?

[humble reef]

also how i want to possibly try to do a seguential masters?

[humble reef]

on my app i focused on comp sci/applied for that major through lsa

but also probably something psych related possible dual major

[proper thorn]

Yeah taking that lens seems good

[humble reef]

ill probably just focus on comp sci for it and research more niche stuff about it

[cinder dune]

anyone care to read my LOCI lol

[reef dome]

Sure

[cinder dune]

ok I'll dm you once i finished (almost)

ea

[normal crystal]

yea

[olive axle]

when's the latest you guys would suggest I submit the LOCI?

i am waiting on some pretty important news for one of my ECs

im supposed to know by like first week of march

[pine lantern]

I think that’s too late

They might finish reviewing ur app by then

[outer hornet]

Sameeeee

[outer hornet]

I think it’ll be too late by then

Last year RD came out like March 18

Hoping it’s the same this year

[proper thorn]

RD is in waves and you don’t know which wave you’ll be in

[olive axle]

Fuuuck

[haughty pawn]

fr?

wasn't it all just on 25th march last year?

[proper thorn]

Yes

[turbid burrow]

they better drop postponed mfs first then 😐

[hushed iris]

if you got deferred EA, will they reject you in any of the waves or do they wait until the last wave/deadline to reject?

[reef dome]

Unsure

I’d assume that wouldn’t wait that long

[old dove]

fr

[outer hornet]

Wtf

[outer hornet]

no bc I saw some girl in a yt vid get her decision March 18

last year

[eternal wing]

withdrew mich 🫡

gl to everyone

[fair crag]

i've heard that umich auto defers applications they don't get to

bc so many people apply ea that they don't have the manpower to read through all the applications in time

[eternal wing]

i got defered lol

[fluid swift]

😭

admissions really is a lottery

[eternal wing]

eet eez what eet eez

[north leaf]

gah damn that means im getting into stanford confimed

(actually, meemaw didnt even apply)

[storm jewel]

yea ik a dude who got into mit but deferred gt, so ig its rly random

[quartz harbor]

that sounds like people are just coping to me but idk for sure obviously

[turbid burrow]

nah with the sheer volume of deferrals and the inconsistency it makes sense

[proper thorn]

Different schools look for different things

It’s not as random as people think

You have to analyze it from both perspectives

Just like applicants are looking for certain characteristics of a school when they apply to their school, colleges are looking for certain things in applicants depending on each school’s culture

[fair crag]

umich looks for stats and test scores first and foremost I've been told

by the ao that visited my school

maybe stanford is more holistic idk

then again my friend with perfect stats who got into mit and caltech early got deferred from umich last year

[fickle cloak]

Dang so I’m not Ivy material then cuz I got into UMich 😭

[fair crag]

wait what that's not true at all

[outer hornet]

Is 1450 good enough for umich

[fair crag]

My sister got into umich and 2 ivies

[fickle cloak]

Ok good good

[fickle cloak]

I got in with a 1410 for cs

[outer hornet]

Ok serve

[fickle cloak]

So yes 1450 is more than enough

[outer hornet]

Well also

I applied to Ross

So idk if it was a mistake submitting

[fickle cloak]

Haiya u got this believe in yourself

[fair crag]

depends on school

what's ur school's average sat score?

[outer hornet]

Like 1330

OH

[fair crag]

oh

[outer hornet]

Wait do u mean my high school

Or do u mean ross

[fair crag]

no i meant ur high school lol

[proper violet]

WOAH that’s high

[outer hornet]

Yeah like 1330

[proper violet]

ohh

[fickle cloak]

No one at my school even takes the sat

[fair crag]

like if other people applying from ur school also have 1450 ur fine

[proper violet]

stop at my school we only have 10 people from my grade w a score higher than 1350 😭

[outer hornet]

Nah they def have lowwr

[reef dome]

Our average is 1280

[fair crag]

ok then ur probably chillin

but don't listen to me

bc i know next to nothing lmao

[outer hornet]

I think a couple have higher but they applied engineering

Idk I mean they also consider ur alternative school

So even if I don’t get into Ross hopefully I’ll get into the other school

[fickle cloak]

U also don’t need impressive ECs

[outer hornet]

But I would only go if I got into Ross

[outer hornet]

Bruh that’s the best thing about my all

[fickle cloak]

Essay has to be good tho

[outer hornet]

App

My essays and ECs

[fickle cloak]

Then ur chillin

[outer hornet]

The Ross portfolio was weird af

[reef dome]

So bad honestly

[outer hornet]

The business solution one 💀

What did u write

[reef dome]

I did ppe at Lsa to avoid that tbh

My community is chilling besides a shooting

And I didn’t want to do that

[cerulean wagon]

Lol

we have 1 person higher than 1200

granted im in an ACT state

[outer hornet]

LMAOOOO

that’s so valid

Had me pondering for a week

[surreal sequoia]

💀

the avg SAT score at my school is a 1410

[proper violet]

OH…

[fickle cloak]

Dang my sat score became average at another school

That’s crazy

[quartz harbor]

😎

[worthy orbit]

this is skewed upwards

[surreal sequoia]

slay

[worthy orbit]

so its likely ur school has a much lower sat

[surreal sequoia]

yea

yall should check naviance

[quartz harbor]

yeah niche demographic is better

[surreal sequoia]

not external website bc voluntary bias

[fathom trout]

where do u find those stats

[surreal sequoia]

unless ur school doesn't require it, in which case it's still biased 💀

[quartz harbor]

well the overall performance was from us news so no volunteer bias there, that’s why i posted it

[fathom trout]

no my school doesn’t have it lmao

[proper violet]

my school is 1200 average 😭

[quartz harbor]

I don’t even know what that is 👍

[surreal sequoia]

wow

that's like

average-

imagine going to a normal HS 💀

😭

[quartz harbor]

I’ve witness multiple people in my column of test takers sleeping

[outer hornet]

Ap stats reference

[proper violet]

same people here think sat is a joke in college admissions

and legit rebel & not take it

[surreal sequoia]

bruh ppl here are booking SAT slots the minute it opens up

literally

[outer hornet]

wait where in Naviance is average SAT

[surreal sequoia]

and i said slotS

like ppl book 5 at a time

[proper violet]

oh…

[surreal sequoia]

jUsT iNcAsE

💀

[fathom trout]

😭

[proper violet]

💀

are they ok

[quartz harbor]

our school makes us take it

[surreal sequoia]

no

[fathom trout]

probably not

[proper violet]

oh they rebel by sleeping 😭

[surreal sequoia]

i "only" did 3 at a time

[proper violet]

oh…

[quartz harbor]

ohhh

[proper violet]

Well I had to drive 40 mins for my sat 🤝

[surreal sequoia]

😮

wow

[quartz harbor]

I had a friend who took the SAT the day over an hour away the day after getting back from 1 week band camp

good times for him i’m sure

[fathom trout]

it’s such a waste of money lowkey

[outer hornet]

Bruh I took the sat 4 times

[surreal sequoia]

for my first SAT, we didn't know that ppl book very early on so we waited last minute

there was nothing avaible in the bay area

[outer hornet]

Or 5 I can’t remember

[proper violet]

Stop I witnessed my first death in the hospital right before my sat 😭 well a couple hours before but still

[surreal sequoia]

we had to drive 3 hours

[fathom trout]

doing a bunch if ur score is alr high

[surreal sequoia]

💀

[fathom trout]

3 hours 😭

[proper violet]

3 hours…

[surreal sequoia]

yea

😭

some weirdass central valley school

unironically close to merced

well a bit further

[quartz harbor]

did you improve by a significant amount each time or something

[surreal sequoia]

but yea

[fathom trout]

there weren’t any in ur area?

[surreal sequoia]

it was not fun

no

😭

[fathom trout]

damn 😭

[surreal sequoia]

bc we waited so long

[fathom trout]

does ur school do the school day sat

[surreal sequoia]

nope

[outer hornet]

First two times I took it I didn’t study

Let me break it down for you

1200 (no studying or knowledge of what the test is even like or how it’s timed)

1270

1380

1450

😘

[fathom trout]

the act math section surprised me when i took it bc of how diff it was from sat math

[proper violet]

CUTE

[fathom trout]

probably should have studied

[proper violet]

ok so I didn’t improve 🤝

[outer hornet]

I wish I tried the act

[fathom trout]

i hated it

[proper violet]

samee

[fathom trout]

easier but exhausting

liked sat in comparison

[surreal sequoia]

same

ACT is way too fast

[fathom trout]

like oh god

[surreal sequoia]

can't even think

[fathom trout]

so much

so many questions

[proper violet]

are u committing 😙

[outer hornet]

I feel like I’m an act person

[proper violet]

slash have you committed

[quartz harbor]

we did act workkeys which is completely different and it’s insanely easier cuz it’s meant for like real life application

[outer hornet]

I just thought since act math is harder and math is not my thing that the sat would be better for me

So I never gave it a chance

[fathom trout]

i just had zero act practice when i took it so i didn’t know the formulaic breakdowns for any of the hard ones

[surreal sequoia]

to where?

[proper violet]

UC Merced

[surreal sequoia]

well i first have to get my acceptance

[proper violet]

PLEASE

you’re alr in adi

[surreal sequoia]

[fluid swift]

does applying for honours earlier benefit you?

i regret not applying for the feb 8 deadline lowkey 😭 hoping spots don’t fill up super fast

[proper violet]

i applied at that time and ngl I’m kind of regretting not revising my essays more

[proper violet]

technically yes if your essays are on par but tbh I don’t think it matters way too much

[idle coral]

i have a good act eh uw and good w but i feel like my ecs carried di don’t overthink and just try

[warm topaz]

Quick question

Umich doesn’t require mid year reports right?

They don’t say so on common app

But if you’ve been deferred

Do you submit the mid year grades

[turbid burrow]

yes

[surreal sequoia]

When's the deadline for the LOCI?

*The Expression of Continued Interest thing

[high nebula]

march 17

[surreal sequoia]

is it like

better to submit early on

[high nebula]

yes

lol

[surreal sequoia]

oh

[high nebula]

do it asap if you wanna be considered

[surreal sequoia]

ok the problem is

i haven't been doing ANY ECs since then

i got some good acceptances so i though it'd be fine to drop ECs

so yea i have like nothing to talk about 💀

[high nebula]

you dont need to necessarily

[haughty pawn]

just reiterate your interest then, and how you've looked into more umich opps and how they align with your interests

[surreal sequoia]

alr yea

should i also say that i've met with some alumni (true) and that it's my top choice school (not true)?

[surreal tendon]

I said it was my top choice

but its like my 4th

[thorn leaf]

real

[thin cove]

[turbid burrow]
