ohhh I see
how many does umich admit EA?
to LSA
i told myself iād apply for scholarship b4 RD came out
shouldāve done it early tho
ā¹ļø
No clue
Oh did you get in EA
Tbh man yeah you rly shouldāve
yup!
gang gang!!! šš
I submitted 1wk after admission and I thought that was late
Anyway are you still deciding
if they do give 25k then they could be considered
i havenāt committed anywhere
but likely columbia cuz my dad was a columbia graduate
(not undergrad so no legacy)
lol
Yāall talking ab the 4 year renewable scholarships
From lsa ?
Still gotta submit my app but I wanna call them first about somethin on it
Ye Columbiaās an amazing choice congratulations
Yeah fair
thanks!
wait is like the 4 year renewable scholarships for tuition or also shit like housing?
Not sure tbh
My school wasnāt even that bad
It was a public early college school
I grew up poor and reflected that in my app so maybe thatās why
But my parents went to college
isnāt that the same tho
like subtracting from total cost
i have no idea, bc i know of scholarships and stuff that limit to just tuition and fees vs housing and board
ahh ok
how does waitlist work for Umich, should I send update/loci?
I dont they are accepting those, as loci was offered both to ea and rd already
? Rd?
regular decision
emails were sent out a few days/week after the rd deadline, allowing applicants who applied to also submit a loci before March 17th to be considered with their app
kinda wack but probably why there isn't a loci offered now
Yep
I am not sure how it works for UMich but for other schools when you accept a waitlist spot there is a box to add additional info. Treat this as your letter of continued interest and put that the school is still your top choice, and add any updates etc
nope? it may be engineering college only
Probably, it is on North campus
my financial aid portal just updated saying fafsa received css requested haha
I submitted both since January
Broo I would actually have a breakdown
nahh they can't do that š
I just got an email about the lsa scholarships and this is a fun sentence
or two
Okay thatās horrifying
Yeah I mean itās hard if RD
the essays arenāt too rough though I copy pasted from common app supplementals a little bit
I'm supposed to spend the next few days prioritizing my may exams but ig this shit takes priority š
ahh good luck handling everything
ty ty
I should be fine I just wish they released shit earlier
I also kinda find it funny how the main campus hasn't realized that I already have a umich email and send everything though my application one
though both are on my account
Did you set up your email after you paid the enrollment deposit?
nah I have mine from getting into flint i believe?
or Dearborn one of the two
pretty sure flint was the one that wanted me to get it
oh W did you get flint/Dearborn EA and Ann Arbor RD?
they don't have ea but more rolling but I got those decisions first
It makes sense if diff campuses to do thru diff systems
Ahhh icic
or like officially applied like dec/jan got it jan/feb
congratulations in the first line like that just to say that theyre still reviewing ur app is WILD
somehow flint has put me in their student body emails so I've legit gotten forms to like vote for staff awards and be a part of psych surveys kekw
its wierd bc different portals for some stuff, same for some; universal id and umich email
omg haxorus good to see you doing well post end of app cycle
congrats!!!! esp on mich
yea rip
š«”
you too
see you at mich maybe ?
also bro thank u sm for reading my loci back in the day its the reason I'm here now š
fs fs
maybe! im leaning hard mich but weāll see weāll see
waiting on my financial offer and then ill decide lmao
yea thatās a good choice
have yall done the campus day thing
no I wonāt be able to
bet bet
my family canāt afford transport lmaaoooooo either in money or time
i wanted to go but my parents are busy
:(
i went to my local admitted students event though
itās fine. we do know the area, itās quaint, and I kinda know a lot of ppl who went so
I went to one as a guest when I was deffered LMAO
I met my ao
honestly yeah if i went itd just be to meet people
the campus doesnt matter to me much
idk im so allergic to doing them bc my email just piles me w emails from college after college
š
thats really smart
demonstrated interest šŖ
I played the gamble
why did I apply to so many target and low reaches šššš
and I guess it payed off
no yea Frfr thatās such a move
and now ur in rly glad that u are
I knew showing up was either going to get me in or fully reject
might are you committing or do you have another option you wanna go for
its how I found out the amount of applicants and such <3
real
I'm debating on going to my safety, it depends on my financial aid offer
ahhh okay
the scholarship umich gave me alr is goated but I need to know how imma pay housing
i hope fin aid hands you a W
yeah. Ahh im so glad I got the 4 year renewable otherwise Iād be so sad cuz it was exactly the amt I needed to go
im still waiting on my application š
cause if they do ill try to do them
theyve gone radio silent on me
I've heard that they take a while with those
There were no conditions on mine. I think theyāre all diff ones cuz mine had a specific name
so if i do mine in like a day or two I feel like they may get back to me in like august
ah I see
I just need to get umich to simp for me to live there š
Dude they took SO LONG š I feel like itās sooner for RD tho cuz the commitment date is so soon
Yeah itāll take awhile rip
You should submit yours right away. Like I wouldnāt even feel bad abt writing it in one night
Def prioritize writing the scholarship app since thatās rolling
whend u submit urs
I hope I get UMich Honors I feel like thatās a W and decent housing too
very early feb
I mean I wrote my college apps in two days so im used to it
i was kind of late w it so maybe thats why it hasnt come out yet
well as the email I got today said
ahh thatās okay I doubt they run out yet
that they review until the first week of April but its due April 15th
wait what
which makes total sense
Okay nice
lo
Huh weird
like look
š
Maybe the first week of April thing is based off how much money they have left to give out
umich honors is goated
I got this like two hours ago
~~because im in it ~~
AYY
OMG YOU GOT HONORS?? WWWWW
congrats mannnn
i got deferred lol
lemme check
I did. Hm, who owns the past and who owns the future
i did this one
āHigh on the hogā; ātake it with a grain of saltā; āgot your goatā are just a few commonly used idioms that have interesting histories. Create your own idiom and give it a backstory OR delve into the backstory of an existing idiom.
I was debating between the grades one or the psych one
oh I wasnāt touching the grades one with a ten foot pole
my essay was like 400 words
this is the last one I would so š congrats tho!
That felt dangerous
LMAO
I mean for my community essay for umich i literally criticized the overall education system
Mine too
so im not scared to do it again
I tried it but ultimately Iām just not that creative
i just wrote about an idiom that i had a problem with
because it never made sense to me
Which one
may I know which?
the one like
"A picture is worth a thousands words"
and then i did some research
and it has a really funny backstory
so i just wrote about it
my urge to put 4 pictures in my 4k word essay:
Ohhhh interesting
its sounds cute!
I kinda wanna do the grade one but I dont think my take on it would be creative enough
like she wouldn't be unique
Whatās the grade one say again word for word
āGrades are⦠a discouragement from actual learningā¦. Grades seem to me to be, in addition to useless competition, about teaching obedience and compliance. The content of the class, whatever the class is, is incidental to the subject: following the rules or taking the orders. Or being good. Being Good 101. Being a Good, Stackable Unit 101.ā (Poets & Writers, Nov./Dec. 2022)
Whether you agree or disagree with Gay, write an essay in which you consider at least one argument in favor of his views and one in defense of grades.```
The American poet Ross Gay recently described grades as follows:
āGrades are⦠a discouragement from actual learningā¦. Grades seem to me to be, in addition to useless competition, about teaching obedience and compliance. The content of the class, whatever the class is, is incidental to the subject: following the rules or taking the orders. Or being good. Being Good 101.

Whether you agree or disagree with Gay, write an essay in which you consider atĀ least one argument in favor of his views and one in defense of grades.
yeah this is my concern for mine I talked abt how archaeology/historians kind of own the past, but the future can owned thru social media
oo thats cool
ik someone who got into honors with that prompt and I bet you will too <3
Oh yeah I recall this now. I totally agree grades arenāt conducive to real learning
UHHH MANIFESTING
and then I'm also thinking about this one
- āEmotional Contagionā is a term used in social psychology that explains how the habits and traits of even one jerk can negatively impact an organizationāeven if that person in many respects is a high performer (you can read more here about the impact in an organization:Ā HBR articleĀ and here for an example of such a jerk in a workplace setting:Ā Tiger Oil CEO). Discuss an example of this sort of emotional contagion in an educational setting, thinking about not just the toxic behavior, but how organizations themselves play a role in allowing such behaviorāeven when it is ultimately harmful.
these topics legit reminding me of the quirky shit I wrote for uchicago
Right! Cool. I feel like thereās a lot to be said abt this one now I think about it. Like Iād love to have a discussion about this
I've taken psych class both last year and this year and might major in it š so im tempted
but id need to cite actual fun studies for affect
finally got a "congrats on your admission" email
omg so did I yet I got like 3 other emails before that kek
oh and they finally linked my umich email to it <3
on todays update on what i can see from financial aid
they added my fafsa and css profile, along with the scholarship i alr knew about
no info on other aid or fees
(yet)
will prolly be another week or two
I tlaked to someone from FA today and he said that the packages should be out within 1-2 weeks if they have all of your documents
i see
i just find it interesting how they got uploaded 2 days ago but i see them now
its also nice to see a scholarship without the fees, i just wanna take the money kekw
lmfao
Were the scholarships in the admission letter
mine was yeah but I already knew about it in October
the aid information is out guys!
nope I access the wolverine portal with a friend account
well yeah but thats not complete yet
as this is what i saw yesterday
its still not your official aid package
yeah but they havent put total cost and other aid on there yet
well i also have aid showing but its something i knew about previously
and not full aid as theres still no loans and federal pell
oh yea they havenāt shown total cost
yeah so thats what im saying
its still not fully out
they're working on it
why is the lsa scholarship site on maintenance š how am i supposed to get money now umich
it did come back :)
I need to write my aid essays
for lsa scholarships?
the ones where after you get the scholarship you have to thank them
ah i see
i need to do my 4 year one but my main issue is like i wrote about most of this stuff in my admission application
and they say they have access to it, so idk what to fully write about
Well I use a lot of content from my why UMich so
I hope not
like
wait lemme get the questions again
Like my why UMich is basically the why LSA essay
same for me
like the community question like, i essentially answered in the community question on my admissions
Please talk about the factors (excluding financial hardships) that you are considering with your decision to enroll in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts in Fall 2023. Please include other institutions that are on your short list of options. (250 words)
also by this do they mean like other colleges in umich or other unis?
I used another essay I wrote for another school for that one
i may come up with something new ig
I think other unis
i just think the admissions topic was stronger
Thatās what I put
I put UKy (my state school) and nc state š
i may put my safety
or or
msu to put a fire under their asses
or thats probably a bad idea
probably not a good idea
Idk msu could turn good or bad
I wrote about like campus life, larger internship network, and like how I could take cs classes more immediate then like those 2 schools since they r first year engineering
a i see
i dont rly know what to write for it and i think i should prioritize honors app
The financial hardship essay was the hardest
thats the easiest one for me š
It was just hard to explain how Iām going to pay besides some cliche stuff
Honors app still open?
im deadass gonna write "the work study i hopefully get offered" š
due tmr midnight
Not a bad idea to do so
Yeah prob do that. Both is quite important tho
i hate being rd just for all this time pressure stuff
5 days to do honors, an email to do the scholarship only yesterday, i have like a week of that but they want that asap
i just feel slightly disadvantaged but its fine hopefully they just slay the financial offer and itll be good
true, maybe they can be less strict about the quality of those essays for rd applicants
anyone else submit the 4 year renewabl scholarship in feburary?
Yea! I did
Yeah I dunno what I wouldāve done if my school hadnāt been in a lull following EA admit
I would prioritize scholarship but up to you if you can afford w/o and honors is due real soon then
whens the honors application due for LSA?
There are a few diff deadlines
I mean imma try for both but im kinda tempted to wait until I hopefully get my aid offer and then do the scholarship thing but thats kinda a gamble
I wouldnāt wait bc more money isnāt a bad thing
Lol
yeah :/ my goal is to have it all done within the next day-two
I sent umich a very long email to pleeeease just let me come in the fall š
Weāll see what they do
hope it works out fam
Just sent an email to see if I can do comp sci
Got accepted lsa undecided but I now realize I wanna major in cs whoops
If I donāt get into Ross
i think michigan doesnt allow changing major to computer science but worth checking
Yes however itās the first year of advanced selection
So I emailed asking if there were any spots in CS
Or if they could quickly review my application
Anyone know of a umich gc
Also is the BS in CS better or the BA in CS
Ba seems easier
you have to apply as an enrolled discoverer or something once you get to umich
adv sel for CS decisions come in like 2-3 days
only the gen ed requirements differ
see what you like more
Shit
What if there are open spots
And they are like sure
Is there any chance
Or nah
i dont see how there would be open spots
i dont think they have a waitlist for the cs adv sel thing
But also this all based on if I donāt get into Ross
This could be in my favor then
if you didn't select adv sel
then you have to apply once you get to umich
this is very clearly stated in the FAQ
yeah and ill mail harvard the same thing
you do you
Do you think transferring in is hard
I mean i just need to take the same gen Edās
To CS
no
you have to do that on top of getting through CS selection
it's like a capped major now
not everyone who meets the min requirements for declaration can declare CS
can u negotiate financial aid?
hey i got waitlisted at umich ann arbor and i want to get in, but theyve not asked for locis or anything, just offered me a place on the waitlist...should i be doing something or just hope for the best?
Submit a LOCI anyway
If they havenāt said āno lociā then a loci is best
best of luck for you!!
well for umich it's bs for both coe and lsa
BS for LSA
and then BS Engineering for COE
Guys does umich accept LOCI for the waitlisted? Where can I send it
anyone else with no decision yet?
Wondering same thing? I might as well email my regional ao
my wolvarine access today updated with a lot more financial aid. though i didn't get an official notice yet, if it stays like this, im going to be really happy ā¤ļø
@high valley pretty sure you were the one interested in this?
omg might!!! Congrats in advance
I believe so yes
thank u lmao, wishing the best for u as well <3
I love these schools that I acc know the contacts of the regional ao
š
riiight? So convenient
nah lmao you gotta apply as an enrolled discoverer which is harder than if you had applied for advanced selection upfront
i applied eng for cs and got into eng but deferred from cs
if you got into cs with an email id die
crazy that once you get rejected cs you can NEVER reapply
they're very clear š
L umich
Nah W UMich
(waitlisted so L umich for missing out on me)
What if they take u off?
yea man they gave me amazing aid
My financial aid came out š„°
In all seriousness though in-state tuition goes crazy
š
i mean ive seen my stuff get added on wolvarine access but still waiting on official stuff
but gosh i wished they gave u some stuff man
still planning on going?
dangggggg
oos aid crazy
Iām also pretty low income haha
yeah i am, im not worried about it though
my parents and i have had a plan in place to pay for 2 years of that level of tuition for the past little bit
a i see, sounds like a great plan!
im rly happy with my offer like im very more leaning towards going now
yeah, super thankful for their foresight
hope to see you in the fall if you do :)
bro fs fs
umich lowkey pulled through idk how they did it
turned my life upsidedown for the past week
im glad it all worked out in the end for ya
i mean currently its not bc the lsa honors website is down so i cant submit it š but whatever its fine
oh welp
but whatever
i get to steal thousands from the government in student aid and ilove it
that is mad pricey for instate imma be honest
like UC in-state pricey
in state gotta be 20-25k not 30-45k
bc atp they j bleed students to OOS schools that offer OOS merit
let's gooo
it honestly fully depends on aid and stuff
its crazy how schools with similar costs can have large variations with aid
or at least ive had that happen for me
someone schools just don't give oos students no money
umd looking at u
i only applied to one reach oos state and got rejected so idk
but ive had variations as much as 10k in aid amounts for in state
between schools of similar cost
i applied to 16 oos and only 1 in state lol
o o p i did like
m
6 in state 1 oos
with 3 being all 3 u of m's
well
issue with dearborn is its a commuter campus with their only dorms being located off campus
flint has 2 dorms but uh
flint is flint āØ
oof a2 all the way
the biggest benefit was seeing the different aid offers and having a umich email set like 2 months ago
Yeah it didnāt work
Itās so dumb
I dunno why they are capping their majors
Like I might not go because I literally canāt study what I want to study
well their only capping cs bc they legitimately must not have the people to host enough classes for x amount of kids to pass
U got rejected from cs?
Iām nervous for friday
**only CS
and as might said. it is rly unfortunate but like what would u rather do? Graduate later cuz you couldnāt take the courses to complete your major?
i applied to 12 private 1 instate 1oos (publics)
was accepted 6 private and umich (OOS)
6 private gave huge variation in aid - the largest difference in my aid from least expensive private to most is 30k
guys I was rejected from Umich but accepted into Umich flint is it worth it or not even
depends on what your other schools are
I've heard first year dorming is nice!
you can rather transfer into main campus after 1st year, I know someone who has
but I would look at ur financial aid offer from flint and compared to other schools
i still don't fully understand the CS thing for transfers
in fact i think even the school is trying to figure it out
for cs I have no clue
yeah because
there's a selection process for freshmen
and apparently it does not apply to transfers
but i called them and they DID say there might be something transfers need to do
idk
ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ
its the first year of selective cs so its all like "we shall see"
though if anything im happy its 1st year cause chances might be bigger for me idk

does it help to email them?
Idk but it canāt hurt that u have interest right lol
hmm what to email them though
hmm
is it easy to transfer from um dearborn to ann arbor (for cs)
not sure but itās hard to get cs at ann arbor so iād assume transferring to another campus for cs is hard
for cs the transfer process is very uncertain
other subjects most credits should transfer
umichumichumich
yew mich
the transfer process for cs rn is a little confusing
i think even the school itself is trying to figure it out
hopefully by next year it will be more clear
Nah i just never selected advanced selection because I wanted to do business and just didnāt think to click it
Ic
Soupy are you going to go to UMich??
uh well
if i don't get accepted by anything else
yes
oh right youāre still waiting
okay, best of luck!!!

tyty
might see you there next semes!
and just between you and me, i think mich is better than tufts
šš yeah so true
tufts has very artificial prestige and is better for like
academia
or research
but if you do anything else
probably mich
Iām going for med school
Yeah itās difficult to choose for premed
Tufts is good for research and I can take graduate level classes
so is mich though
But Mich has Ann Arbor Med School. !!! and I could intern at local hospital or volunteer and Iād have access to faculty who r rly cool
true! it's a huge school with a ton of resources/huge network
also a recognizable name brand from almost anywhere
plus we get to be (maybe) classmates š
yeah šš
i do plan on going abroad for my career so thatās kinda a strong point
Mich
LETS GOOOO
if by chance we both end up choosing mich
let's be LSA buddies and explore the city

Yeah!! we totally should
aaah Iām tryna not to think too much about it bc I want you to get in at your dream school!!!!
also im biased for mich
cuz they have the BIGGEST acapella scene in the country
and alum network
(I also rly would like to meet you and hang out together ^-^)
and i love singing
i havenāt done acapella before but I wanna try it out
dw there's so many groups on campus
me personally am considering a lsa CS + ross Business double major
its p awesome
ive done it for a year at rochester
and i love my group
actually we're singing to new rochester students tmr
and im abt to sing a solo in front of 300 families
im nervous
Oooo. Iām probably gonna major Bio Health and Society but I still need to figure out how I would fill requirements

Omg exciting!!! Love the new student admit days
i think the day cadwi's coming to visit is our show day too
so that will be exciting
Revisiters are so cute they swarm campus and theyāre so tiny
yesyes
!!! Super exciting
best of luck!!! Iām sure youāre gonna kill your solo
tyty :,)
U know my ass going there quick fast and in a hurry
I applied 0 in state for me Lmao
I wouldnāt have applied to UKy (my instate school) if my mom hadnāt told me to
Cuz I knew I was leaving this state no matter the cost
just got an email about them offering me the free laptop thing :)
very snazzy of them
No free laptop for me sadge
I was hoping I could get one
Oh well Iāll just buy a new one w my own money
MacBook kinda crappy anyways
Can you appeal an advanced CS decision?
This is fucking ridiculous
No, you cannot
This is unbelievable, my personal essay is literally about everything they say they were looking for
did they release it?
For me they did
Oh big time yeah
rip got rejected too
Data science>>>
guess im doing math and ds
I can check it in like 10-20 minutes
a part of me is holding out hope that they screwed up the decision release and just marked everyone as no
but thats top tier copium lmao
that is a lot of copium
I'll be on this train of thought in 10-20 minutes with ya lmao
sry guys
women in stem pulled through
i mean DS does really mesh better with polisci so like
maybe a W in the end
and if i really hate it i can transfer
i also think they might end up changing the policy at some point since it is the first year
so at some point i might be able to do enrolled discovery or whatever
thats copium a little bit but more realistic
im mainly curious is if someone doesnt take it does that open up a spot for someone else
like later on
i also wonder if you do DS bachelors you can do a CS masters
going to send in an email abt that
danke š š
Didn't get in as well š¦
looking through data science program reqs and like- i can still take all the cs courses
so whats the point of gating one and not the other lmfao
I have no clue man š watch them start gating it too
they are legit gonna restrict so much access to such majors man
i can see it happening
personally more leaned toward CE as my alternative >< but not sure, would it be rly hardcore and focuses on too much hardware, like, deviate from cs too much?
Look at the CE and CS program guides to compare them I think
math-DS here I come
I quickly deduced I really wouldn't like CE
Yeah it stings a little bit lmfao
I donāt think it affects a lot for first and second year I assume
cuz Iāll probably try to transfer
But I'm also super into political analysis so like DS is prolly gonna work really well for that
I think u only need CS major declared for more upper level cs courses
Yeah and so many of those can be taken in DS anyways rn
That's why I'm thinking it's weird they didn't limit both
oh lol

You canāt do enrolled discovery I asked and they told me it was only for people that didnāt apply and did no computer science classes in highschool
Like wtf
Right now yeah
I think they might change the policy at some point though
Anyways I committed :)
Thank you :)
Wow might pulling so many W
Wooo congrats Flizzy
idk Iām not seeing any major pros to tufts other than closer to home + smaller
damn
ayy congrats!
cost?
Nah Mich is 25k (revised aid came back) and Tufts is 25k
I mean Mich price hikes in upperclassmen years but tufts kicks you off campus
oh I see
uhhh
I feel like you have more guaranteed housing at umich? or in ann arbor overall
Boston area can be worse for that but im unsure
I live near Medford and there look to be a bunch of houses right in the campus area
But Iām not sure how easy or hard it is to get them
Did they release acceptance rate yet?
Also can you see financial aid if you didnāt submit the enrollment deposit yet?
Letās gooo
50/50 since Boston also have way more houses
I did both neu and BostonU rejected me
:( but it's okay your going to umich which is a lot better
I wonder when we get stats for this admission cycle
The amount of kids from my school going to UMich dropped in half it feels
no one from my school has ever gotten into mich š
did you guys receive the housing application?
Not sure bc I havenāt payed my enrollment deposit yet
But they said mid April
I didn't get anything and I have paid
I'll let ya know if they say anything at campus day tomorrow
Have fun. I know a couple ppl going tmr
Me tho my first visit to UMich wonāt be until orientation
got into cornell tho
Same
Itās been forever since Iāve been to campus rip
Iām the only person I know who got in,,, wish someone would reach out cuz Please I wanna know who Iām coming w
Also btw Iām like 90% committed now so
hiii :)
i'll probably go
don't think i'll get in anywhere else
hi! ^-^
you should be more confident in yourself!!! wishing the best for you w/e that means
Has UMich emailed abt housing yet?
Iāll go! If u wanna connect Iām down!
If you commit they will send an email to you a few days after with the housing form.
You must submit it by 5/5
Anyways Campus Day was incredible and highly informative (how I got the info above). I would highly recommend y'all go if you can.
My dads a doctor so he has 0 time but I might go w my mom
anyone from UMich wanna talk abt housing?
Like which dorms do u think r best
aaah, thatās super kind! yeah letās connect
Noooo clue. Rly wish I could do a campus day
Iām deciding to commit
Only because of the rotating black cube š§š§lol
Same
Burlsley dorm has a reputation for being the "worst" but we toured it earlier and it was fine tbh
Nothing special but not bad either. Food was good imo.
Honestly food isnāt a big issue to me I donāt wanna gain an obscene amount of weight the first semester
The gym at umich is insane
Noted ššš
What did yāall go for
Honestly if I decide to live on campus I would probably prefer to not live on north campus, at least for the first year
Iāve heard that Alice Lloyd are really spacious and nice. But itās almost completely random so
I was there for campus day. Because I'm in engineering they took us up there for a tour.
Meant to reply to this
I'm the housing form you get to express a preference. Not guaranteed you will get central but it def increases your chances.
True
BTW do you remember your group?
I was in B6.
Led by Grant V. He was super cool
Yeah
Oh awesome! Did you have a good time today?
Yea. The tour was cool but near the end I felt like the guide talked a bit much about stuff that wasnāt really relevant. The morning was real useful though
Yeah I kinda tuned out a bit at the end
It was neat seeing so many of the engineering buildings though. Coolest engineering section of any campus I've been to.
Yeah same. Definitely way bigger than Iowa State engineering dept
And way cooler
The robotics building was sick
Let me see if I have a picture
The robotics building was absolutely beautiful. We saw a robotic foot while we were in there which was super neat.
Woww
I love that if I want to I can just take some random class in LSA or whatever
Like I plan on doing PoliSci through LSA so like woohoo
bro yall were at campus too? š
I have a very similar picture it was indeed stunning
I recommend campus tour but I also got a more in depth tour and I saw bathrooms and stuff
they are truly okay
Were you there? That's awesome
ye ye
Did you go on an engineering tour too?
Ah I gotcha
and ate at mojo later
but I did see engineering buildings later
they are very cool i have a bunch of pics
I have a bunch of chunky squirrels and the insides of random buildings
I need to sort through em
Lmfao the squirrels
Does anyone know when waitlist decisions come out
What about zingerman? Thatās the one bakery everyone is telling me to try
Delicatessen
zingerman is awesome!
But just a random fact about it itās not a real delicatessen because itās not actually kosher (they have non-kosher meat products and mix meat and dairy). Do with that information what you want lol
oh okay. no idea what is kosher lmao
Lol. Dw about it then
Iowa State vs ASU (for computer science)?
asu
I honestly have no idea, thats the only campus food I had there
zingerman's bakery is good according to a couple local folks i know
zingerman's roadhouse is just meh
all I know is that if one eats at mojo on the weekend for like brunch, please have a muffin
they had very good muffins
The muffins are gas
notes taken
for sure already on the bucket list
what did u buy
I got a veggie thing but I wanna get something w chicken this time
a2c
Does anyone have the stats on admit rates to med school from UMich?
i found this on their honours website
Damn š wait how is honors that important
honours only classes, thesis, sophomore year award, maybe more research opportunities?
resume boosters in general
might also be the type of people who choose to stick to it all four years
Is there any data on waitlist admits by college (coe, lsa, etc)
yeah i think honors is helpful for post-bachelor education
but otherwise from what i've heard you shouldn't go for it
its just smart people in honors and smart people succeed in general
honors doesnt actually impact med school admissions on its own
š
This makes sense
Yeah okay thatās fair
YESSS
yes!!!!
YESSSSS
Does anyone know if there is a way to skip out of Calc 2 even if I donāt get a 5 on BC Calc
l
Umich wait list anyone has any updates ?
Did u get admitted !
No way to skip out of calc 2 unless u get a 5
By end April, if u donāt hear anything I suggest committing to another school then back out of that school if UMich admits u after May 1st
p much no one hears from WL before May 1 I believe (general rule) so take this time to find a school you like and commit. Then itās the LOCI, demonstrated interest, and waiting game
Iām COMMITTED COMMITTED to UMich ššš
i know that Blitz
itās literally in ur nick
i guess I shouldāve replied to the other guy
Oh okay u responded to my text so I got confused lmao
Yea
Are u committed as well?
i just meant to say not to expect any movement before may1 
Not Yet
as soon as I am Iāll go back to being pink
Tyyy
Thank you. Guess I will wait.
I got in rd, idk abt waitlist stuff
Ok all the best
𤨠damn so interrogative
theyre gunna be my first decline because they keep getting on me abt itš
š«” hope one of you moves higher up in the waitlist
š āļø bye
gbye
77/15,000 last yr
yea they don't rank anything
why do they waitlist so much when they only take less than a 100 kids š
Blitz
Loopy
Hur š
they got to make sure they have enough on the list incase erveyone declines their initial offer
idk actually
but its weird schools take so many on the waitlist
Okay but 15k is twice the size of the entire entering class
you are doing something WRONG if being waitlisted is less selective than being admitted
Hey! How u been? Enjoying life now that college decisions r over?
this is true for a lot of schools
has anyone here applied to the gartenberg scholarship š ??
And it shouldnāt be true at any of those schools
Great! I am excited to see the elephant in the fall!
How about you
Lowkey looking forward to getting obliterated by the cold weather
Just ride a real elephant to the school
me to but not as cold š„
u at least get Boston, I only have Ann Arbor
Officially committed to umich!!
id go mich over tufts personally but that's just me
oh definitely, the education is superior
W let's go. Go Blue! š š
the education isn't even the concern
tufts is one damn depressing school
i agree tbh
Cool. I will send you fr
Same
dang is it that bad? š
?? Why
I know a bunch of kids who went to tufts and they all loved it so
You canāt go wrong
I also know a kid who transferred from tufts to umich
Honestly Iām probably going to have regrets either way
just because the feeling will be: if I went to the other school, I wouldnāt be suffering like this or I wouldāve gotten X opportunity. But the outcome will likely be similar (what I take away from my time there, where I head next)
i would choose mich and never look back
tufts overrated school
Iām actually looking at some of my other options today
BU + Bryn Mawr are. Also technically schools I was accepted to lol
Yeah BU is one of the few schools I would take over UMich but I didnāt get in
for CS?
i mean boston is nice and all but
over mich?
Yes ik u r prob like UMich has way better education which I do agree. But that location is enough to lure me in
Much easier to get connections with companies imo also
Funny how Iām talking down on UMich when Iām already committed to it ššš
R u a freshman at UMich rn?
Ah transfer
yeye
If u do decide to go, hope to see u there!
where have you gotten in?
if you dont mind
or
what else are you considering
just mich
waiting for 6
cornell uchi nu rice duke brown
transfer queen
is this after freshman year?
so transferring in as soph?
not queen but ty! yes after frershman year :)
ooh where you tryna go
def somewhere w better aid
uchi/columbia/nu
even if I donāt I think umich is gonna be a cool place to be tho
Anyone know the acceptance rate this year
thoughts on uchi vs umich
Iām on the wl and trying to decide if I do somehow manage to get off
if Iād accept it over umich
For umich I applied cs for uchi I applied econ so
yes Iām broke
umich is cheap though Iām in state so
uchi is better if ur like actually broke
by actually broke ur household income is like less than 60k
yea I think itās right at that or something similar
Umich is still pretty cheap though for me im not really concerned about the price of them because I feel like Iāll get considerable aid if accepted to uchicago
more about the academics and experience all that
idk depends on what u want to do
cuz if i do get to go to uchicago im so down to do math fully
umich probably more applied side
uchi econ is better unless ur going to like umich ross
me with duke rn
got waitlisted there and iām mostly thinking about private vs public
yea I might try to cross campus transfer into Ross im still deciding since I have plenty of time
right now though Iām in the cs program
ye waitlist stuff is coming up soon and Iām trying to decide if I would even accept uchi over umich
I thought I would but now Iām kinda in the middle
do they take loci by email for waitlist?
What u see diff bw pvt public ?
mostly differences in class sizes and opportunities
personally iām already emotionally connected to umich since iāve visited multiple times and it was my first us acceptance, itās my mom that wants me to try to get off the duke waitlist
duke would be pretty cool
m waiting on it as well
but i don't have a great shot
Thank you good luck for duke. I am on wl for umich.
I called admissions they said they donāt take loci for waitlist
Did anyone get their financial aid package yet?
I got mine today I am just curious about others
I got mine a while ago but it was probably easy š
they came out within a week like
5 days i think?
i'm in state and they definately processed some stuff for me
Is there any movement on the waitlist
nope
Does anyone know when you sign up for classes
And stuff like that
Late may early June?
U get a email late this month to schedule for advisory
Iām Once Again p confident Iāll commit! Dunno rly what Iām waiting on honestly
HAHAH im waiting for my waiver request to go through š
its been a few days already idk what umich is waiting on
just to give some of you guys hope if ur in the waitlist, my friend withdrew her admission offer to ross for brown
77/15k last yr 0.5% ppl get off waitlist
We all very hopeful!
Wild
Wish Ross waitlisted me š
Buttt
Data science gang LFG
Are waitlist decisions rolling or do they release all at once
noo clue Iād imagine itās rolling tho
but probably within a relatively short period of time
Hey guys! I just wanna know how people think of Umich vs ucla . Experience/vibes/ resources/ research opportunities
Intended major : cs or math for undergrad
(No intent to cause rivalry)šš»
šthanks
it might be best if u post this in the #954425230896545792 thread, and give a bit more details about what you already like and don't about each school :)
Thanks ! But Iām actually waiting for UCLA waitlist. (Got offer to Umich).
Umich is very costly (73k) for an OOS like me. (Iām an international)
Iām thinking of going to a CCC (30k) then transfer to UCLA or UCB, or other T20(offers aid). But many people advised me to just stay with Umich.
Unless I transfer from Umich to ucla,ucb, top20. These (except for Umich)are the schools my country will fund our studies.
(Btw Iāve seen international CCC student getting into Columbia, how I wished I could too)
https://discord.com/channels/786557653924708373/1098491625661009991 (will update more )
Ohhhh hm I understand. If you can guarantee your country will offer aid if you get UCLA UCB or t20, then I wouldnāt go to Mich. very few things can fully recoup 75k spent on an undergrad education
My AO said that my app had no red flags does that mean I have a decent shot at getting off the waitlist
Not really, getting off waitlist is all about what kind of people donāt commit
Much more influenced by the filling out a class than anything else
and āno red flagsā is. Not a ringing endorsement
Yeah true
Has anyone gotten their honors apps back?
Also I should say. You should be proud of UIUC dude itās a great school for ECE
Yeah Iām definitely happy to be going to uiuc
Also do you only get an update if youāre accepted from the waitlist or will they also tell you if they didnāt take you
i think once they finish with waitlist acceptances they'll send you an official rejection sometime during the summer if you didn't get off
Sadly and unfortunately no.. The waitlist Admit rate is insanely low.. I donāt have the exact stats but its not looking super good.
Yeah obv thereās not gonna be many spots open but Iām saying if that was the case with my app does that mean that out of the few waitlist admits I could be one of them
Can you tell me in what context did they say this? In an email?
I called my admissions rep to review my admissions file
Oh. I think it means you have a shot to get in but no more than anyone else to be honest
The waitlist only happens because there are simply more qualified applicants than spots available
Also did anyone receive the housing application form yet? I submitted enrollment deposit on April 11 yet have received nothing yet
housings being sent out in batches. they said to email if its been 3 weeks since youve committed and you havent received it yet
Thank you
np!
Wait why did u call?
I basically just wanted to get some info about the waitlist with how it affects CS selection
And then i asked some more general questions about the waitlist which eventually led to me asking about my admissions file
Never knew you could phone the office to ask š
Was the AO specific abt ur file? Did they say anything interesting?
