University of Michigan (2022-2023)

[vague beacon]

just depends on which uni

[turbid burrow]

Mm I’d say@my best chance is rice

Then cornell

Acc cornell== U-M

[vague beacon]

thought cornell was a bit more difficult

[turbid burrow]

Nah just cuz of how I feel bout my stats

All of them are <10% for me

[vague beacon]

...ur stats are better than mine

wdym

[crisp current]

UT Austin requries 90% of enrolled students to be residents of Texas by state law

[vague beacon]

crazy

that's why their cs acc is so low

[thin cove]

@vague beacon whats your one acceptance

[vague beacon]

this school

i applied to 5

[thin cove]

ahh nice

[vague beacon]

still haven't submitted my other ones

[thin cove]

good luck

[vague beacon]

[pine lantern]

ooooh

good job!!!

[vague beacon]

tyty

[idle coral]

bro the acceptance package was so mid not even a sticker just a poster and letter and a certificate

[turbid burrow]

🤷🏾‍♂️

[warm topaz]

Chemistry

[plucky marlin]

When’s the loci due again?

[proper violet]

literally :( I wanted a sticker or smth for my laptop

[idle coral]

i don’t care about a certificate bro send me stickers or a hat

[pine lantern]

u guys got acceptance packages?????

[inland skiff]

Yeah, it’s super weak 😭

[idle coral]

yes and it’s genuinely the most disappointing thing ever it’s the acceptance letter printed out, a certificate saying you’re in, and a poster thing

[fickle cloak]

so sad

received it last week

[fickle cloak]

or shirt

need that blue merch

[idle coral]

i wanted something more like bro 😭 a top25 school don’t be so stingy

[fickle cloak]

right a shirt only cost 20 dollars or less

we pay like what 70 dollars for app

[idle coral]

yeah😭

[fickle cloak]

umich just barely made it to top 25 lol

[idle coral]

long ass essays to not even get a shirt

[fickle cloak]

i guess i will have to buy one myself

u think if we commit, they will send us some merch?

[pine lantern]

I did not get anything wtf

[fickle cloak]

very soon, prob this week

or r u an intl

[pine lantern]

No

[fickle cloak]

in state?

[idle coral]

please let me get that i need ross and socks

[chilly gate]

hey looking for someone to read my loci please? This is my first time writing one and I'm not sure if I did it right.

[idle coral]

did everyone in lsa get this?

[outer hornet]

I can

I’ve written a couple

[verbal granite]

nope

[vague beacon]

it's for specific majors

[fickle cloak]

Nope

CS didn’t get it

My oos tuition is basically same as y’all in state students making this a very obvious top choices atm

[vague beacon]

AYO LETS GO

i heard oos usually don't get good aid

so that's super nice

[fickle cloak]

Fr. They asking me for some documents now so hope that doesn’t change anything

[cloud shadow]

what’s the tuition price for you?

[fickle cloak]

If everything stands even after I send the docs UMich are asking for, 17k without loans

Which is a very fat W

[storm crater]

Are you oos?

I’m assuming not

[high nebula]

he is iirc

[fickle cloak]

Yes I am

Anyone know if the deadline to apply for honor is over yet?

Can’t seem to remember to find it

[high nebula]

the deadline is like late march

its on the website

[fickle cloak]

Oh snap that’s great

Will get on right on that

This way I can get better resources and money

[high nebula]

lol

[high nebula]

just confirmed and its april 5

so plenty of time

but theres are sooner deadlines if u want ur result sooner

u missed the first one (feb 8) but the next one is march 1

[fickle cloak]

Def doing it by March 1

Can’t wait til mid April lol

That’s when I make my decision

[outer hornet]

do u only apply honors if ur admitted

[old dove]

applying honors if ur deferred is a power move

[outer hornet]

lol I applied RD 😭

[warm topaz]

How do I write this LOCI

I’ve taken my foot off the gas pedal after college admissions have been done, only doing what I need to do for my AP classes

[reef dome]

Why mich+ maintaining high grades with rigorous courses

[warm topaz]

That sounds like a plan

Senioritis is like a drug, once you start slacking off it’s a slippery slope

I’ve stopped giving a fuck about scioly, dropped academic team, don’t even show my face at the writing center, abandoned the SAT club I started after I got my hours for national honor society, and did the bare minimum to stay in mu alpha theta. Life is good

[night epoch]

Day 1 of hs

I hit my senioritis day 1 of freshmen year

[warm topaz]

Based

[reef dome]

Idk this isn’t that great

Are the organizations functioning with out you?

Some implode when important seniors leave like that

[night epoch]

I mean here’s the deal

[warm topaz]

Believe me man, no harm was done.

[night epoch]

That’s the circle of life

Seniors leave clubs leave

[warm topaz]

I wish I was this important

[reef dome]

It is but it’s kinda bad when you’re the founder of a club

[night epoch]

And new clubs are made

[reef dome]

And then just leave

[night epoch]

True

[warm topaz]

Lmao no one showed up to my tutoring sessions except for one girl.

I tried my best to help her raise her math score and it went down lol

[night epoch]

Imma try making clubs in college

Like clubs that can have a cult following years after I leave

[warm topaz]

So I guess I was shite at tutoring, but oh well at least I got my thirty hours. Gotta be opportunistic sometimes, it is what it is

[night epoch]

My school didn’t let me make clubs

I tried several times

They denied me

I even got people to sign on

[warm topaz]

What were you trying to start up?

[night epoch]

Board game society or sumn in that nature

[warm topaz]

That’s gangsta

[night epoch]

It is

[warm topaz]

Board game society goes so hard

[night epoch]

They said no to us but yes to the chess club

And like 2 people showed up to the chess club

[old dove]

tuff

[night epoch]

And it got shut down after the seniors graduated

[old dove]

https://tenor.com/view/clapping-drake-applause-proud-gif-9919565

[warm topaz]

Dictatorship school

[night epoch]

Funny thing is it’s a public school

Even better club idea

Nerf club

[warm topaz]

That’s a way to get bullied

Board game society was fine, nerf club crossed a line

[night epoch]

No

It’s nerf or nothing

[cosmic plinth]

it's such a bad feedback loop, clinging for dear life in calc and stats because ik i can't get back once i derail myself again

[night epoch]

Modded nerf blasters are rlly cool

[warm topaz]

Calc BC is fine, but Ap stats made me wanna die

[night epoch]

I dropped my AP stats and I only did regular calc because I needed a little calc background

Still regular calc is a pain

[cosmic plinth]

stats is boring asf negl

[warm topaz]

Calc can be fun, but stats really isn’t, except for unit 7, 2, and 6

[warm topaz]

Too many words

[night epoch]

I switched to AP Environmental Sciences

[cosmic plinth]

calc bc is really only interesting me rn because i'm actually finding good applications for my interests

[night epoch]

APES > stat

[warm topaz]

APES is a beat class

[cosmic plinth]

fr and then you have to be super specific all the time?

like no

[warm topaz]

They have a formula for sentences

[reef dome]

I take both

[warm topaz]

Actual cringe subject

[reef dome]

Couldn’t say which is better

Stats is getting p complex now

[night epoch]

My APES teacher is pretty chill so

[reef dome]

But not horrible

[night epoch]

I take courses first with interest

Then I see how the teachers are

[warm topaz]

AP physics 1 is the most interesting class I have this semester

[reef dome]

The start to my apes project

[night epoch]

Anyhow when was the loci due for UMich?

[reef dome]

We r doing art 😭

[night epoch]

You get projects?

[reef dome]

I suck but I’m trying

[reef dome]

Tons

Insane class

[night epoch]

We have assignments

[reef dome]

Sm work

[night epoch]

Like writing

Writing

[reef dome]

yeah we do too

[night epoch]

And mcq

No projects

2 labs

[reef dome]

We have a 5 page lab write up every week

We do a lot Lmao

[night epoch]

My class is group based

[warm topaz]

17th of March

[night epoch]

Ok good

I have time

[reef dome]

Lucky

[warm topaz]

I’m starting it tonight

[reef dome]

What unit r y’all on

[night epoch]

Not if you have a bad group

[night epoch]

Panarchy (unit 3)

Had a quiz on it today

I have another quiz next class

[reef dome]

Panarchy?

[night epoch]

Unit 3

I think

It’s the one with weather cycles and stuff

[reef dome]

Ohhh

[night epoch]

Atmosphere, hyodrosphere, geosphere, etc.

[reef dome]

That was our second unit

Never called it panarchy lmao

[night epoch]

It’s kinda ironic for us

Like my class understands everything but the panarchy part

[reef dome]

We r on unit 8/the hardest one sadly

[reef dome]

Send a pic I’m so intrigued

I don’t think panarchy is an actual thing

[night epoch]

Let me see

[warm topaz]

It’s a punchline

Panarchy nuts

[reef dome]

…so just the diff zones of earth?

[warm topaz]

Frindle type beat

[night epoch]

That stuff

[reef dome]

Might be based off of Pangea

That’s my only guess where he’s naming that from

Feedback loops r fun

[night epoch]

Panarchy is a framework of natures rules I think

[night epoch]

Not if you’re in my class

The frq about feedback loops I had today was really really impossible

[reef dome]

Rly? What abt

It’s usually rly simple

[cosmic plinth]

atmospheric feedback loops or

[night epoch]

It wasn’t about the loops itself

They utilize the loops as a topic

[reef dome]

I will say that y’all r kinda behind

Hopefully a semester course Lmao

[night epoch]

a semester course?

I’m in a full year course for apes

[reef dome]

Y’all are just on unit two????

[night epoch]

No it’s unit 3 for us

[reef dome]

But there’s 9 units

[night epoch]

My teacher breaks down units differently

Or at least I hope he does

[reef dome]

Ok lemme send what they are to check Lmao

[night epoch]

I think he might’ve made larger units by combining those

Cuz I did the first 3 in unit 1

[cosmic plinth]

mmmmm ENSO

I wish we had APES

[night epoch]

My honest opinion on having AP courses is not good

[reef dome]

Have y’all done 4-9 tho?

[night epoch]

Yes and no

[reef dome]

Cause hydrosphere/geosphere/atmosphere are all p introductory things to understanding other stuff

[night epoch]

Certain topics inside them yes

But I would say we are behind

Anyhow APs/honors shouldn’t exist. Like they just give extra work to kids who are “smarter” just because they’re “smarter”

I’m fine with challenging work. Just not extra work

[reef dome]

Dual enrollment is better

Wish we had that

[night epoch]

Same

I mean there are vocational schools

But they ain’t doing much tbh

[turbid burrow]

for us DE is only rly good if u truly plan on staying in state

cuz credits dont transfer too well

so i went with more aps

[warm topaz]

Better choice

[night epoch]

What state?

[turbid burrow]

VA

so stayin in state isnt a bad option lmao

[night epoch]

Bro UVA???

Lol

Yeah staying in state ain’t that bad of an idea

[turbid burrow]

deferred LOL

its rly hard in state still

[night epoch]

Ouch

Did you try William and Mary?

They’re pretty prestigious too

[turbid burrow]

but my dream schools Brown so in my mind its like i wanna go oos anyway

[turbid burrow]

ye

[turbid burrow]

it is but not good for my major

(cs)

[night epoch]

Ah

My dream school (Princeton) is in state

[turbid burrow]

they just give good aid and if i did go there id likely transfer anyway

[night epoch]

But I didn’t apply

[turbid burrow]

(changes nothing)

like being in state

[night epoch]

So my reachable dream school is UMich

[turbid burrow]

mm id say mine is like idk MIT

but didnt apply

[night epoch]

I know. But I got into my state flagship

[turbid burrow]

deferred from there too

[night epoch]

Rutgers

[turbid burrow]

W

[night epoch]

Same

Rutgers is alr

[turbid burrow]

i think they jus didnt read it lmao

for me

[night epoch]

Yeah same

💀

I rlly wanna get in

[turbid burrow]

i hate deferrals cuz its like let me know smh

[turbid burrow]

mom and 2 relative went there

[night epoch]

But hey we will know by April

[turbid burrow]

got a michigan license plate on my car

[night epoch]

You got legacy

[turbid burrow]

and hella hoodies

[night epoch]

I have distant legacy

[turbid burrow]

i hope it helps

[night epoch]

An uncle graduated

And my aunt and her husband work there

So…

Hoping 😭🙏

[warm topaz]

Could someone read a rough draft of my LOCI?

[turbid burrow]

lmao

[night epoch]

Sure

Send through dm

I’ll read it over

[rose flume]

fr

state school but 28% acp rate 🥲

[thin cove]

when's deferred coming out

[plucky marlin]

Ut Austin is brutal. 90% need to be from tx

[reef dome]

True true

UT is def top 3

[fickle cloak]

Now with what’s going on in msu, a lot of kids might be looking at oos options

Unless anyone thinks eastern mich is a great school lol

[turbid burrow]

wuts happening at msu

[fickle cloak]

U didn’t hear about the shooting?

Tragic accident

[turbid burrow]

nah

[turbid burrow]

damn

[fluid swift]

???

[outer hornet]

Huh

[reef dome]

Dude

Why is this your first reaction to a school shooting

That’s not cool

Obviously not

But the fact that you commented that is so tone deaf

As seen by two previous questioners before me

[cosmic plinth]

@reef dome This is worse than that time when we were arguing

oh wait wrong acc

Im the one and only dude from Rizzler's university incase you're confused by my alt

don't mention my name here cuz Id rather be anonymous on this server

[solemn elm]

This stuff sadly happens

[cosmic plinth]

but like fr dude @solemn elm that was kinda tone deaf

I do see your perspective, but still

[solemn elm]

It’s a scary world

[thin cove]

and since we talking abt the unfortunate shooting discouraging people from going to umich

[cosmic plinth]

@reef dome Da owner of that instute (discord server)

[thin cove]

i think its kinda untrue

[cosmic plinth]

homie how has my way of typing not let you figure out who I am

💀

why you reacting with question makrs

[thin cove]

Purdue has had shit going on with Indian students for a while, still doesnt deter Indian students from applying

thats not the point

[outer hornet]

Not everything u think needs to be said ❤️ critical thinking skills are valuable

[thin cove]

nor is it a discussion we should be having lol

[fluid swift]

why turn a tragedy like this into something you can benefit from?? try to at least have some respect

[solemn elm]

Bc there will eventually be light at the end of the tunnel

[reef dome]

Not today

Those people died less than 24 hrs ago

It is NOT the time nor the place

[cosmic plinth]

imagine being family members of those people

[thin cove]

and it doesnt have any benefit, so you're practically being an inconsiderate asshole @solemn elm

[cosmic plinth]

reading this chat

[thin cove]

doesnt matter when they died, its not a topic to discuss

[solemn elm]

It sucks

[outer hornet]

The application season is over anyways there isnt even a point in correlating it

[cosmic plinth]

this reminds me of-

lemme dm you

💀 there you go

[thin cove]

yeah, people who have applied wont bother cancelling their app...they put in the effort and will see if they get in and then later chose not to go, they wont cancel

[cosmic plinth]

no judgements arya

• money wasted

[solemn elm]

Not necesarily

[thin cove]

true

[outer hornet]

It’s essentially a poor argument anyway bc u see a prestigious institution like uchicago continue to get applicants and they continue to lower their acceptance rate when stabbings and crimes are extremely prevalent there

Crime happens everywhere u cant rly stray away from it

[thin cove]

same for purdue, im pretty sure you know how this year's application season was for purdue @solemn elm

[solemn elm]

And does it get national media attention?

[outer hornet]

Yeah exactly

[fluid swift]

separate the psychos committing these crimes and the unis trying their hardest to keep things under control

[thin cove]

yeah

[outer hornet]

Yes

I went to Chicago back in June and the day after I left there was a shooting

They happen more often than you think

[thin cove]

i mean why are we still discussing this topic, lets just end it here

[outer hornet]

Yeah I agree

[cosmic plinth]

bloodbath 😭

[solemn elm]

Didn’t apply

[warm topaz]

Bro….

[warm topaz]

I’ll abide by this, but holy shit some of you guys need to literally go outside and understand real world issues.

Not everything needs to or has to correlate with college admissions. Some things are tragic with no silver lining. Especially with guns in this country.

[outer hornet]

Don’t blame ur stupidity on this server lmao all of us are active members here and had the decency to not make a correlation between a tragedy that happened not even 24 hrs ago to college admissions 💀 sometimes things happen and there isn’t anything good about them

[solemn elm]

Shit

Ig I’m going on a hiatus then

[thin cove]

istg

do not try to get away with this by blaming a2c man

[reef dome]

Then leave

[thin cove]

in the long run, uni doesnt even matter

[reef dome]

Don’t talk in vain abt a school shooting and expect people to agree and joke with you

[thin cove]

u prolly should, gain clarity

[cerulean wagon]

damn bro actually left

[solemn elm]

No

I’m back

And I sincerely apologize

I wasn’t aiming at it being a joke

It was tone deaf af

And I have no one else to blame but myself

[thin cove]

fair

[storm jewel]

pls delete this comment

[noble sedge]

what the hell bro

[storm jewel]

its fucked up

[noble sedge]

have some shame

people died many were hurt

[solemn elm]

I’m ashamed

[pine lantern]

What did they say 😥

[reef dome]

Not smth to repeat out of respect

[solemn elm]

^

[pine lantern]

Oh… :/

[vague beacon]

good donuts what happened in here

[rare swift]

Ross this Friday

Anyone else is excited?

[rose flume]

for ea?

[high nebula]

first round is this friday

so you may or may not get it

in b4 "am i getting rejected because i didnt get it in the first wave"

[frosty elk]

is school of engineering the most comp?

[reef dome]

That or Ross

[proper violet]

i think Ross is the most comp

not too sure though

[random minnow]

Damn it
I forgot to submit dual enrollment transcripts
How fucked am I and what should I do
I have everything else submitted including my Regular HS transcript on time

Would this impact my admission chance

[pine lantern]

Did u report ur grades/courses anywhere

[random minnow]

My regular HStranscript, with the courses I dual enrolled with, was sent before the deadline

[random minnow]

Just not the transcripts from colleges themselves

I don’t care about credits tbh, I got credit from the Ap exams anyways

[hallow needle]

if somehow you reported the courses you took, you are good @random minnow

including on ur regular hs transcript

even just writing the courses in additional info is okay

[pine lantern]

this is what i di

i just wrote when i took - course name - grade receive

[hallow needle]

we are twins, i did the same!

[pine lantern]

‼️

[hallow needle]

however i then spent a bunch of money sending my transcripts to my schools (am paranoid) and then my school counselor said i didnt have to do that lol

so do not spend that money for no reason lol!!!

[pine lantern]

PLS I DID THIS TOO

PARCHMENT SO EXPENSIVE

[hallow needle]

eff parchment

[pine lantern]

ong

[random minnow]

Wait so you didn’t send your college transcripts?

[random minnow]

Thanks , I was worried for a bit

[random minnow]

It was only like 4$?

[hallow needle]

MINE WAS $12 each. 😭

[random minnow]

Wow

So to be clear, you didn’t send college transcripts but put the courses you dual enrolled in the extra info section?

[pine lantern]

that adds. up...

[hallow needle]

all my counselors said that that was sufficient!

[random minnow]

Thanks

[pine lantern]

and ucscout costed TEN dolars!!!

[surreal sequoia]

some colleges i saw required dual enrollment transcripts so just to be safe i submitted through parchment everywhere

[random minnow]

It’s a scam, AP scores are like 18$ to send as well

[surreal sequoia]

i reported in additional info too

[pine lantern]

i know :((

ugh

[surreal sequoia]

also i can't put it in courses and grades since i dont get HS credit

[hallow needle]

SAME

[pine lantern]

same

[random minnow]

I don’t really care for the credits , I just hope it doesn’t impact the admissions

[pine lantern]

athena we r twinning so hard rn

[surreal sequoia]

lol

[random minnow]

Lol

[hallow needle]

omg we are

[surreal sequoia]

why not?

if u go to a public school u can skip some gen eds and stuff

[random minnow]

I got 5’s on the APexams, so the dual enrollment credit is basically useless

[surreal sequoia]

oh

[hallow needle]

gpa boost if u retake cause u know the material

[surreal sequoia]

or like post-AP

and ofc equivalent courses to APs u didnt' take

[random minnow]

The thing that sucks is one of the colleges I dual enrolled with will not let me have a transcript, official or unofficial because I’m not a “full time student”

[hallow needle]

yo this sucks even if u beg and plead to registrar?

[random minnow]

Yea Ik it’s weird

[random minnow]

I literally emailed and talked on phone with them

They wouldn’t budge

So I had to guess what grade I got in that class in their system for the UC application

[hallow needle]

dang. i would start pulling out the tears and everything i’m sorry!

[random minnow]

Yea lol

I wasn’t mad though, I got credits from the AP exam, it’s just that they’re really strict and ask for every single dual enrolled course

[hallow needle]

i’m glad you are so easygoing about it, it’s admirable, i would be throwing hands were i in your position 🤣

[random minnow]

Lol

[surreal tendon]

For RD, do we have to submit mid year grades?

[normal crystal]

yea

[surreal tendon]

it doesn'

[normal crystal]

bc the app was due after first sem ended

[surreal tendon]

it doesn't tell me anywhere

that I have to

[normal crystal]

it shoulda been through common app

[surreal tendon]

only thing it told me was to submit a LOCI

[normal crystal]

unless u submitted in like dec

[surreal tendon]

I submitted like a day after semester 1 ended

[normal crystal]

u don’t do it through the umich portal

ur counselor does it through common app

and it gets sent to the schools

[surreal tendon]

hmm alright

[rose flume]

for rd or ea?

[rose flume]

ye i'd say so too

cuz ross is 9% 🥲

or less

same as wharton so

[high nebula]

ea prob

[rose flume]

ah

ic

i thought rd gonna be out that early

[random minnow]

Like others said, your counselor should have submitted your transcript on common app. Email your admissions officer ASAP because it might still be possible to submit it (they probably have not gone through your application yet if you applied RD)

And also, I got confirmation from the school that they don’t need your college transcripts until you are accepted if the classes you dual enrolled are on the HS transcript

[surreal tendon]

Even if I applied RD, I’ve looked everywhere and it doesn’t say to send in mid-year grades. Regardless, I requested them through naviance

[uneven thorn]

just submitted my expression of continued interest 🥲

[elfin obsidian]

What were the numbers on umich cs selection?

[pine lantern]

I think most people who got into lsa got the cs major if they requested it on their app

[inland skiff]

they never published the number officially

annecodotally, it seemed like >50% of those accepted into engineering got into CS but that could be wrong

[verbal granite]

9% out of admitted to lsa or 9% out of all applicant pool

[high nebula]

ur only considered to ross once ur accepted to lsa or another umich school

[verbal granite]

so its 9% outta admitted?

[reef dome]

9% of applicants for Ross

[high nebula]

applying to ross via direct admit is harder than just internally transferring after one year in lsa

and if you get rejected from ross once you cant ever apply for it again

[turbid burrow]

But if u rly want Ross isnt a bit of a risk going and potentially not getting it?

Like if that’s ur sole reason for Michigan

[high nebula]

oh yeah for sure

[rose flume]

out of ppl who applied to ross obv lol

not everyone applied to lsa ross

[limber tiger]

i hope Ross RD numbers aren't bad

🥹

[floral pond]

anyone willing to read mg loci

[cosmic plinth]

Sure

[chilly gate]

I’ll read yours if you read mine?

When are loci due anyways

[tulip valley]

march 17th

[normal crystal]

i can read urs'

[cosmic plinth]

when do postponed decisions start coming out?

[rose flume]

same lol

[rose flume]

same lol

can i read yall?

i havent written mine yet

[frozen hound]

march 2? maybe?

[solemn elm]

19th

[high flax]

The 17th bro

[old dove]

this one

[old dove]

https://tenor.com/view/shrug-gif-25269231

mid march maybe?

[cerulean tiger]

loci due when?

loci, not eci, im not sure which the march 17 date refers to

(if not both)

[hazy cloud]

aren't they the same thing

letter of continued interest, expression of continued interests

[old dove]

i thought its the same

[rare swift]

Ross tomorowwwwwwww

[idle coral]

maybe

i feel like i’m not gonna find out tomorrow 😭😭

[solemn trellis]

Internationals who were accepted, have any of you received a physical letter?

[fluid swift]

not yet

[surreal sequoia]

When does RD come out?

For deferrals specifically

No way I’m getting in since I didn’t write a LOCI lol

Just curious tho

[high nebula]

you have anohter month to submit it

rd is in waves

[spring swallow]

Yeah

I’ve submitted my GTech one so it’s based off of that but haven’t yet submitted

[spring swallow]

You’ve still a months time

[old dove]

Any chance postponed decisions come today in some wave?

[crimson mantle]

What do you guys think makes you stand to Michigan (specifically engineering)??

[rare swift]

I got into engineering. I would say showing iniciativa outside of the classroom. It doesn’t need to be any complex organized extracurricular, a passion project could work or something that you have done outside of school which is meaningful. If it is related to STEM even better

[noble sedge]

honestly i have no idea bc i had zero engineering ecs 😭😭 i think just be true to urself and do extracurriculars that u genuinely like and isn’t just for college apps

also keep ur grades up

[surreal sequoia]

Ok alr

I mean 0% chance I’ll attend even if I’m accepted

Since OOS tuition is so high

And I got similar schools that are cheaper

[rare swift]

Ross in two hours!!!!!

[night epoch]

Ea?

Or rd?

[fickle cloak]

Oh it’s at 5 not 3. Poor Ross applicants, y’all have to wait 2 more hours

[fallen ether]

Watch our results not even come out for this wave tho

[rare swift]

Yeah, two more hours of suffering

[outer hornet]

postponed just means RD so they’re gonna be out in March

[rare swift]

t minus 14 minutes

[wraith roost]

Is this how its meant to be or is it supposed to show a major?

[idle coral]

HELL YEAH

[reef dome]

[fallen ether]

[reef dome]

Yeah it’s in waves

[fallen ether]

Another month of waiting

[tiny silo]

Just Got In

OMGGGGG GUYS, unbelievable

[old dove]

Any rd’s our?

Out*

[reef dome]

Just ea

[reef dome]

AHHH

[rare swift]

I GOT INNNNNN

[river vessel]

Congrats!

I got mf postponed so I have to wait for so long to hear from Ross

Lowkey could be a W cause the quality of applicants will be worst then

Cause all the super good ones got admitted already

[cerulean wagon]

So 0 RD are coming out now or any time soon?

oh wait nvm

this is ross decisions

[inland skiff]

Congrats to everyone who got into Ross today!! 🥳

[reef dome]

Not for a month

At least

[sharp frigate]

Congrats!!

[fluid swift]

i got my physical acceptance letter today 😎

[solemn trellis]

sameee

no merch sadly but I got a cool looking certificate 😎

[fluid swift]

yeah the certificate was fancier than i expected

i was only expecting the printed version of my letter

[frosty elk]

how should you write the loci for UMich

do they accept bullets

i remember someone putting a post from umich admission officer on the locis

[thorn leaf]

i assume you mean umich and not uiuc?

[reef dome]

?

[frosty elk]

sry

Idk why I said th

At

My ques is

Can it be like bullets

Or is it better in letter/essay format

[proper thorn]

Formal letter

also for decisions, maybe around the 10th

It’ll be on a Friday at 3 pm but it’ll be rolling so you won’t know

[cosmic plinth]

when do you think it will start coming out (i got deferred and submitted my LOCI on 8 Feb if that has any role with the decision)

[high nebula]

honestly depends but itll start coming out in the next few weeks

[cosmic plinth]

so round bout march

[high nebula]

im not too sure exactly

[cosmic plinth]

not this month

[high nebula]

possibly

[cosmic plinth]

I see

thank you!

[high nebula]

i think the rolling starts one month after ea releases (?)

so maybe in the next 2 weeks itll start coming out

[cosmic plinth]

I see

🤔

[outer hornet]

@cosmic plinth most likely mid or late March

Prob near the 20s of March or in the 20s

[turbid burrow]

finally

[honest maple]

guys if my intended major changed from when i applied to now, should i mention it in my eci

[reef dome]

It changed within 2 weeks?

How dramatically

[honest maple]

no i applied EA

like back in october

[reef dome]

OHH gotcha for ur loci

What were u thinking of switching from and to

Tbh id call them to ask if you can; they decided to postpone you on basis of that major

But everyone goes into LSA undecided at least

[honest maple]

i wrote my why us mostly about astronomy and astrophysics but then when i was doing my other apps i was like "yk what, i think i like that more as a passion project" so most of my other apps have been for environmental or geoscience

[reef dome]

That’s definitely a huge change

Is that a diff school within Michigan

[honest maple]

no it's still lsa

[reef dome]

Ok tbh you should be ok

Everyone doesn’t declare major until later in lsa

Its weird to say that on an LOCI imo

“Oh btw I wanna study this now”

You could spin that as a possible double major or thing to do at mich

Upon researching xyz programs, I’m also very interested in pursuing geoscience

[thin cove]

yeah i did that

fin engineering interest

by mentioning possibility of taking up a minor at LSA

[honest maple]

ok ngl ive been super considering double majoring if i go the env sci route

[reef dome]

Perfect then!

[honest maple]

my absolute DREAM would be to work on like…planetary science and focusing on different planets’ environments rather than the physics going on in the universe 🥹🫶🏼🫶🏼

[reef dome]

Planetary science is epic

I’ve been really enjoying apes this year

Wish I could have squeezed astronomy in too

[honest maple]

AAAA REALLY??? that was my favorite class ever!!! i never took an earth science class before my junior year and i really fell in love with that area of science with that course

[thin cove]

ayo thats actually so cool

i had an interest in that but ig i never explored it much

[reef dome]

Yeah!!

I’ve been doing fun sciences for a few years; since I’m going into business I gave myself one subject to focus on actually liking

Rly enjoyed forensics too

[honest maple]

ooo i took a forensics class too! it was only a semester but it was really interesting

[reef dome]

Frr

We have marine bio at my school too which I kinda regret not taking b

Would have gotten my scuba certification

[honest maple]

wtf that sounds so fun????! i’m kinda surprised my school doesn’t offer something like that since we live in the great lakes

[reef dome]

A fellow midwester

[honest maple]

the only way to take something like marine bio is to take an oceanography class online

[reef dome]

Tbf we don’t do it in the lake

Somehow kids get scuba certified in our pools???

Idek how that works

[turbid burrow]

ye i talked bout new research i started looking into + michigan profs and shi as well as jus a couple general things

[glacial vale]

Guys is Ross decisions out today

[reef dome]

Yesterday for some

[glacial vale]

Oof

Didn’t get an email

[reef dome]

Try in. 3 weeks lmao

[hushed iris]

when do ea deferred decisions start releasing?

[honest maple]

early april/late march

[wanton edge]

rd decisions come in april right

[blazing barn]

Any idea for rd decision date ?

[reef dome]

They’ve done waves before

Sometime in march

[blazing barn]

not early April?

is early April like the start of the wave or the end of the wave

[reef dome]

Actually looks like they’ve stopped it

Used to during covid

Probs late march early April

[blazing barn]

Ah i see

ok

[cloud shadow]

for learning/theme communities we are only able to apply to those after we pay the enrollment deposit correct?

[slate heart]

Yes

[vague beacon]

depends on which college

if LSA ur chillin

[honest maple]

ive submitted my eci 😩 🫶

[spring swallow]

can i read it (yes)

?

kidding lmao

overall what have you mentioned ?

i just need a reference because i am literally not capable of free thought right now

[rose flume]

same

idk what to write 🥲

[turbid burrow]

lmao

i just talked bout
-research i started working/thinking bout

• a bit of why U-M connected to said research
• top choice and a bit of dick sucking yk
• how they can help with some future plans
• only 250 words so u hve to be obkectice, short and sweet

it wont make or break ur app compared to the essays

so dont stress

[carmine lagoon]

do any of the other admits get emails from UMich Ross despite being admitted LSA?😹

[humble reef]

would someone be willing to read through a loci?

[blazing barn]

does writing a loci mean that I must apply to Umich if I got admitted?

[cerulean wagon]

If you mean matriculate there, no.

[blazing barn]

ah i see

thanks for clarifying!

[high nebula]

gotchu bro

[humble reef]

alrr i dmed u

[wanton edge]

is it imp to write loci? ive just skipped it

[honest maple]

• top choice to enroll
• went a tiny bit further into what i plan to do at michigan since submitting my EA app
• EC and academic updates

[blazing barn]

What if i got no updates tho

[honest maple]

just tell them where you’re at rn. like your current status. they just wanna know that you haven’t been doing nothing since submitting

literally u could probably say u adopted a dog and say how that made you interested in learning about pet care or something idk. you just need to let them know that you’ve been doing something

[spring swallow]

Oh makes sense

Well I have been doing quite a lot

My app became much better since application to UMich

And I added another EC

Plus another update on a top EC

[blazing barn]

I, on the other hand got senioritis and got worse loll

[vague beacon]

nah i only got LSA

[vague beacon]

i mean tbf if you got into berkeley

ur chillin

[carmine lagoon]

should I be worried or is it just promo material?

[vague beacon]

you're chillin

assume it's just promo

[humble reef]

when u submit the loci does it confirm that they got it anywhere?

[vague beacon]

CLUTCH UP SINS

CLUTCH UP

[turbid burrow]

[night epoch]

[humble reef]

[nocturne crater]

I have no idea, they got rid of my checklist but I’m 90% sure it was all ticks

I emailed them to ask and I’ll call later

[turbid burrow]

thats strange

[turbid burrow]

hopefully they undo the withdrawal

[nocturne crater]

I didn’t get any emails reminding me to submit stuff either

[nocturne crater]

Thank you 😭 but if it’s a mistake on my end I suppose I deserve it

[outer hornet]

[old dove]

https://tenor.com/view/rest-in-peace-gif-21942301

[nocturne crater]

Thank you fellow glorious bastard

[cosmic plinth]

will they at least refund

[nocturne crater]

Good luck rd round!

[nocturne crater]

Don’t think so :(

[cosmic plinth]

oh wtf

[turbid burrow]

id b heated

[turbid burrow]

tyty

[old dove]

demand a refund at least

for ur emotional trauma that this situation has caused

[slate oar]

Omg I’m sorry😭😭😭😭

That’s so vile

Why didn’t they tell you before

[slate oar]

Also like my original why umich essay kinda sucked and I still got in, the interest factor won’t break your app

I barely said anything of substance or really showed that I knew that much about the school💀

[turbid burrow]

my supps sucked tbh xD

but ye u right just wanted to cover some bases

[slate oar]

My head was up in the sky in the fall lol, I didn’t try as hard as I should’ve in early essays and I’m lucky it didn’t completely screw me over

[turbid burrow]

real

[slate oar]

I got deferred from Harvard that made me pull it together

[turbid burrow]

u also could just be like 10x smarter

[slate oar]

💀💀

[turbid burrow]

LOL

[slate oar]

My rd essays were infinitely better than my umich ea and harv rea essays

I literally reached nirvana like 7 times during those 2 weeks of winter break writing essays

[slate oar]

I mean my stats r fine so like I’m not saying anyone can like walk into umich

[turbid burrow]

Literally same

[slate oar]

Just that it’s fine if your essays and loci aren’t flawlessly thought out

[turbid burrow]

tru

[slate oar]

Or course being realistic like you need the gpa and test scores but beyond that, nothing is that consequential

[slate oar]

I quit a sport I did and writing about it made me get back into it 💀💀💀💀

thank you Stanford prompts

[turbid burrow]

eh 3.7 uw and 1500 shldnt be auto reject anywher

[turbid burrow]

lmao real

i started playing soccer again

[slate oar]

Are you oos?

1500 is fine at any school

[turbid burrow]

for michigan ye

legacy tho idk if it matters tho lmao

[slate oar]

umich doesnt consider legacy

i dont think at least

[slate oar]

ah oos is hard for sure

my only oos friend ik who got in had a 1600

[turbid burrow]

ye i thought so

[turbid burrow]

thats wild 😭

i love this school cuz of my mom but tbh might b too expensive anyway

depends on external scholarships even if i get in

[slate oar]

umich oos is absolutely vile lol

im state so im super lucky

me staring at my 16k tuition

[storm jewel]

lucky mf

[slate oar]

while my oos friend gets a 56k bill

[storm jewel]

me 😭

[slate oar]

HER EFC IS LIKE 28K

IT WAS SO FOUL OMG

DOUBLE EFC

[storm jewel]

BRUHW WHAT

no aid?

omg

[slate oar]

how was she gonna pay yhat

she got 18k in aid

but thats nothing

SHE APPEALED TOO

AND THEY WERE LIKE

[storm jewel]

yea thats not fair

[slate oar]

SORRY WE HAVE NO MOENY

[storm jewel]

oh hell naw

[slate oar]

meanwhile me paying like 80k for an undergrad degree

[storm jewel]

[slate oar]

💀

[turbid burrow]

mines 10k 😭

[slate oar]

its ok

you dont need to get into umich rd

like

at this rate ur gonna have to pay 50k

a year

[turbid burrow]

ye thats y i said it depends on scholarships anyway

[fickle cloak]

I think UMich give a lot of aid to oos student in nearby states

[weary crypt]

Do u know what the oos rate is

I got in with 1570, friend with 1580 didn’t, 2 others did but idk their specific stats, just that they’re lower than mine

[fickle cloak]

I got in with 1410 😎

[weary crypt]

Haha nice

Also oos right?

[turbid burrow]

im in va

lol

[fickle cloak]

Oof, I mean I guess u never know til it comes out

[fickle cloak]

Yes

[turbid burrow]

we'll b aiit

[slate oar]

no

probably sub 15% but who knows lol

[slate oar]

its kinda random

they also yield a lot oos

ik people at stanford and upenn for example

who got deferred and WL at umich oos last year

[fickle cloak]

Fr?

So ur saying I’m not ivy material

Ok thanks for letting me know in advance

[weary crypt]

Absolutely

[turbid burrow]

lmfao

aint no one said that

[fickle cloak]

Lol ik

Just joking around

[turbid burrow]

(me neither)

[slate oar]

lollll

i got deferred from harvard i cant be talking

[fickle cloak]

Deferred to accepted incoming???

[slate oar]

probably not

im going to be thankful for umich

ive learned so much humility thru this process

applying to ... northeastern was beyond humbling

[fickle cloak]

Atm, UMich is my top school also

[slate oar]

💀

[fickle cloak]

Mf school deferred me

[high nebula]

I got in ea and idk if I should be proud or sad

[turbid burrow]

NAH FR THO

i thought i was sick but nah gang

i aint shi

[slate oar]

ITS FINE

YOU HAVE UMICH

umich is so much better than neu

💀

[high nebula]

oh yeah for sure lol

[ornate moat]

if anyone here was accepted into ross/is currently going to ross dyk if they send acceptance packages with actual stuff (unlike lsa which just sent me a package saying "you're admitted")? i heard that they did but i couldnt find any confirmation online

[storm jewel]

LOL

its just rly random idt its yield protection

[fluid swift]

i think mich puts heavier emphasis on essays

the other girl who applied in my same hs def had better stats and ecs than me

[ornate moat]

^^ i agree with this, so many people in our school got deferred (people with way better stats and ecs) but i put a lot of work into my essays for both ross portfolio and regular supps

[rose flume]

ic ic

[outer hornet]

Hi I applied to Ross are u in state

[ornate moat]

i am oos

[outer hornet]

ahh congrats

[idle coral]

my umich essays were like okay idk not that good but yeah

[idle coral]

apparently they sent socks last year

[stray adder]

How low is oos for umich

[idle coral]

boy you got into stanford why are we stressing

[stray adder]

I'm not, just curious

[idle coral]

you’re gonna be good no matter the school especially if you could get into stanford

also i have no clue sorry if that came off rude i meant it in a joking way

[stray adder]

Nah all good lol

[idle coral]

congrats on stanford though insane

[stray adder]

Ty

[outer hornet]

@stray adder did u submit SAT/ACT

[stray adder]

To UMich?

[outer hornet]

To Stanford

[stray adder]

Nah

[outer hornet]

Ok u give me hope

I applied rest optional

Test

[stray adder]

Test optional doesn't put u at a disadvantage, if it did, they would make it required lol

[outer hornet]

Yeah true just hoping the rest of the app is good enough

Cuz I’m also Asian so

Competitive out here 😔

[stray adder]

Tough 😭

[surreal tendon]

Is RD rolling?

[high flax]

for my eci can I make it personal?

Like write it as a letter

For example, Dear Michigan, I love you blah blah blah

ik its corny but i feel its unique however i dont know if its appropriate

[reef dome]

No

[vague beacon]

dw that bum ass school ass fucks everyone

unless you got in

in which case congrats!

[nocturne crater]

Aight I called them and I’m 70% sure it’s a mistake on their end

It’s a bit complicated to explain here but I think they got some stuff with the exams wrong because confusing local curriculum

[turbid burrow]

Nice! (I guess 😂)

[turbid burrow]

I see

[nocturne crater]

Thanks 😂
