#

ohhh I see

weary crypt
#

#

to LSA

#

i told myself i’d apply for scholarship b4 RD came out

#

#

I submitted 1wk after admission and I thought that was late

#

Anyway are you still deciding

weary crypt
#

if they do give 25k then they could be considered

#

i haven’t committed anywhere

#

but likely columbia cuz my dad was a columbia graduate

#

(not undergrad so no legacy)

#

lol

quick sapphire
#

From lsa ?

#

Still gotta submit my app but I wanna call them first about somethin on it

quick sapphire
lethal flicker
humble reef
#

wait is like the 4 year renewable scholarships for tuition or also shit like housing?

quick sapphire
#

Not sure tbh

tranquil imp
#

My school wasn’t even that bad

#

It was a public early college school

#

I grew up poor and reflected that in my app so maybe that’s why

#

But my parents went to college

weary crypt
#

like subtracting from total cost

humble reef
weary crypt
#

ahh ok

tall folio
#

how does waitlist work for Umich, should I send update/loci?

humble reef
#

I dont they are accepting those, as loci was offered both to ea and rd already

tall folio
#

? Rd?

humble reef
#

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

astral halo
#

Hey did you guys get an email from Living arts engine?

#

Thinking about applying

random minnow
humble reef
astral halo
#

Probably, it is on North campus

high valley
#

my financial aid portal just updated saying fafsa received css requested haha

#

I submitted both since January

river vessel
#

Ross is such a troll omfg

astral halo
#

Broo I would actually have a breakdown

humble reef
#

nahh they can't do that šŸ’€

#

I just got an email about the lsa scholarships and this is a fun sentence

#

or two

lethal flicker
humble reef
lethal flicker
humble reef
#

yepp

#

2nd tight deadline due to rd

#

and technically a disadvantage in a 3rd

lethal flicker
#

the essays aren’t too rough though I copy pasted from common app supplementals a little bit

humble reef
#

I'm supposed to spend the next few days prioritizing my may exams but ig this shit takes priority 😭

lethal flicker
#

ahh good luck handling everything

humble reef
#

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

astral halo
#

Did you set up your email after you paid the enrollment deposit?

humble reef
#

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

lethal flicker
humble reef
#

they don't have ea but more rolling but I got those decisions first

lethal flicker
#

It makes sense if diff campuses to do thru diff systems

humble reef
#

or like officially applied like dec/jan got it jan/feb

high nebula
# river vessel

congratulations in the first line like that just to say that theyre still reviewing ur app is WILD

humble reef
#

humble reef
lethal flicker

high nebula
#

lethal flicker
#

high nebula
#

it was in times square

#

lethal flicker
#

aww nice

#

i should check admitted student event calendars

humble reef
#

I met my ao

high nebula
#

the campus doesnt matter to me much

lethal flicker
#

idk im so allergic to doing them bc my email just piles me w emails from college after college

high nebula
#

thats really smart

#

demonstrated interest šŸ’Ŗ

humble reef
#

I played the gamble

lethal flicker
#

why did I apply to so many target and low reaches 😭😭😭😭

humble reef
#

and I guess it payed off

lethal flicker
#

and now ur in rly glad that u are

humble reef
#

I knew showing up was either going to get me in or fully reject

lethal flicker
#

might are you committing or do you have another option you wanna go for

humble reef
#

its how I found out the amount of applicants and such <3

humble reef
humble reef
#

the scholarship umich gave me alr is goated but I need to know how imma pay housing

lethal flicker
#

i hope fin aid hands you a W

humble reef
#

thank u

#

they kinda already did i just need another w

lethal flicker
#

yeah. Ahh im so glad I got the 4 year renewable otherwise I’d be so sad cuz it was exactly the amt I needed to go

humble reef
#

wooooo

#

also do u have any idea if those cover housing?

high nebula
humble reef
#

cause if they do ill try to do them

high nebula
#

theyve gone radio silent on me

humble reef
#

I've heard that they take a while with those

lethal flicker
humble reef
#

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 😭

lethal flicker
lethal flicker
humble reef
#

yeah I need to check on that tonight

#

though I also need to do the lsa honors app

lethal flicker
#

You should submit yours right away. Like I wouldn’t even feel bad abt writing it in one night

#

Def prioritize writing the scholarship app since that’s rolling

high nebula
lethal flicker
#

I hope I get UMich Honors I feel like that’s a W and decent housing too

lethal flicker
humble reef
high nebula
#

i was kind of late w it so maybe thats why it hasnt come out yet

high nebula
#

i was feb 19

#

oops

humble reef
lethal flicker
#

ahh that’s okay I doubt they run out yet

humble reef
#

that they review until the first week of April but its due April 15th

high nebula
#

wait what

humble reef
#

which makes total sense

high nebula
#

how does that make sense

#

oh

high nebula
#

lo

humble reef
#

like look

lethal flicker
#

Maybe the first week of April thing is based off how much money they have left to give out

high nebula
#

umich honors is goated

humble reef
#

I got this like two hours ago

high nebula
#

~~because im in it ~~

humble reef
#

AYY

lethal flicker
humble reef
#

congrats mannnn

lethal flicker
#

i got deferred lol

humble reef
#

what topic did u do?

#

I'm still picking 😭

high nebula
#

lemme check

lethal flicker
#

I did. Hm, who owns the past and who owns the future

high nebula
#

i did this one

#

ā€œHigh on the hogā€; ā€œtake it with a grain of saltā€; ā€œgot 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.

humble reef
#

I was debating between the grades one or the psych one

lethal flicker
#

oh I wasn’t touching the grades one with a ten foot pole

high nebula
#

my essay was like 400 words

humble reef
lethal flicker
#

That felt dangerous

humble reef
#

I mean for my community essay for umich i literally criticized the overall education system

lethal flicker
humble reef
#

so im not scared to do it again

lethal flicker
high nebula
#

i just wrote about an idiom that i had a problem with

#

because it never made sense to me

lethal flicker
#

Which one

humble reef
#

may I know which?

high nebula
#

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

humble reef
#

my urge to put 4 pictures in my 4k word essay:

lethal flicker
humble reef
#

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

lethal flicker
#

What’s the grade one say again word for word

humble reef
#

uh

#

lemme get the page

high nebula

ā€œGrades are… a discouragement from actual learning…. 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:

ā€œGrades are… a discouragement from actual learning…. 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 atĀ least one argument in favor of his views and one in defense of grades.

humble reef
#

oo thats cool

#

ik someone who got into honors with that prompt and I bet you will too <3

lethal flicker
humble reef
#

and then I'm also thinking about this one

  1. ā€œEmotional Contagionā€ is a term used in social psychology that explains how the habits and traits of even one jerk can negatively impact an organization–even 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 behavior–even when it is ultimately harmful.
#

these topics legit reminding me of the quirky shit I wrote for uchicago

lethal flicker
humble reef
#

I've taken psych class both last year and this year and might major in it 😭 so im tempted

#

but id need to cite actual fun studies for affect

astral halo
#

finally got a "congrats on your admission" email

humble reef
#

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

humble reef
#

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)

quick sapphire
#

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

humble reef
#

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

river vessel
#

Were the scholarships in the admission letter

humble reef
#

mine was yeah but I already knew about it in October

high valley
#

the aid information is out guys!

humble reef
#

oh?

#

well mine isnt out yet

#

i assume they sent u an email?

high valley
#

nope I access the wolverine portal with a friend account

humble reef
#

well yeah but thats not complete yet

humble reef
#

its still not your official aid package

high valley
#

same

#

but like I just checked it and it said css received

humble reef
#

yeah but they havent put total cost and other aid on there yet

high valley
#

and they gave a rundown of the aids

#

I hope you get yours soon!!

humble reef
#

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

high valley
#

oh yea they haven’t shown total cost

humble reef
#

yeah so thats what im saying

#

its still not fully out

#

they're working on it

#

why is the lsa scholarship site on maintenance šŸ’€ how am i supposed to get money now umich

humble reef
#

it did come back :)

lethal flicker
#

I need to write my aid essays

humble reef
lethal flicker
#

the ones where after you get the scholarship you have to thank them

humble reef
#

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

fickle cloak
#

I hope not

humble reef
#

wait lemme get the questions again

fickle cloak
#

Like my why UMich is basically the why LSA essay

humble reef
#

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?

fickle cloak
humble reef
#

i may come up with something new ig

humble reef
#

i just think the admissions topic was stronger

fickle cloak
#

That’s what I put

humble reef
#

my issue is my main thing is cost šŸ’€

#

and they say to avoid finances

fickle cloak
#

I put UKy (my state school) and nc state šŸ’€

humble reef
#

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

fickle cloak
#

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

humble reef
#

a i see

#

i dont rly know what to write for it and i think i should prioritize honors app

fickle cloak
#

The financial hardship essay was the hardest

humble reef
#

thats the easiest one for me 😭

fickle cloak
#

It was just hard to explain how I’m going to pay besides some cliche stuff

humble reef
humble reef
fickle cloak
fickle cloak
humble reef
#

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

fickle cloak
#

true, maybe they can be less strict about the quality of those essays for rd applicants

latent coral
#

anyone else submit the 4 year renewabl scholarship in feburary?

lethal flicker

#

I sent umich a very long email to pleeeease just let me come in the fall šŸ™

#

We’ll see what they do

humble reef
#

hope it works out fam

river vessel
#

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 don’t get into Ross

tribal umbra
#

i think michigan doesnt allow changing major to computer science but worth checking

river vessel
#

Yes however it’s 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

hot moat
#

adv sel for CS decisions come in like 2-3 days

hot moat
#

see what you like more

river vessel
#

What if there are open spots

#

And they are like sure

#

Is there any chance

#

Or nah

hot moat
#

i dont see how there would be open spots

river vessel
#

Kids don’t accept their offer

#

Fuck I should have just hit advanced selection

hot moat
#

i dont think they have a waitlist for the cs adv sel thing

river vessel
#

But also this all based on if I don’t get into Ross

hot moat
#

maybe they do

#

but yeah they clearly mention

river vessel
hot moat
#

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

river vessel
#

Eh

#

I’ll say give me CS and I’ll commit rn

#

And they will be like shit bet

hot moat
#

yeah and ill mail harvard the same thing

river vessel
#

I’m already into Michigan tho

#

So I’m half way there

hot moat
#

you do you

river vessel
#

Do you think transferring in is hard

#

I mean i just need to take the same gen Ed’s

hot moat
#

Wdym transferring in

#

@river vessel

river vessel
#

To CS

hot moat
#

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

storm jewel
#

can u negotiate financial aid?

scarlet carbon
#

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?

lethal flicker
#

If they haven’t said ā€œno lociā€ then a loci is best

#

best of luck for you!!

fickle cloak
#

BS for LSA

#

and then BS Engineering for COE

tight horizon
#

Guys does umich accept LOCI for the waitlisted? Where can I send it

lament sierra
#

anyone else with no decision yet?

humble reef
#

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

My financial aid came out 🄰

In all seriousness though in-state tuition goes crazy

humble reef

i-

#

😭

#

I'll see if I also got it

#

not yet

astral halo
#

I got an email about it

#

I mean I imagine mine was pretty easy to process lmfao

humble reef
#

šŸ’€

#

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

high valley
#

I’m also pretty low income haha

humble reef
#

wait i got mine too

#

what i had this morning was right <3

astral halo
#

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

humble reef
#

im rly happy with my offer like im very more leaning towards going now

astral halo
#

yeah, super thankful for their foresight

astral halo
humble reef
#

umich lowkey pulled through idk how they did it

#

turned my life upsidedown for the past week

astral halo
#

im glad it all worked out in the end for ya

humble reef
#

i mean currently its not bc the lsa honors website is down so i cant submit it 😭 but whatever its fine

astral halo
#

oh welp

humble reef
#

but whatever

#

i get to steal thousands from the government in student aid and ilove it

fossil onyx
#

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

humble reef
#

its crazy how schools with similar costs can have large variations with aid

#

or at least ive had that happen for me

fickle cloak
#

umd looking at u

humble reef
#

but ive had variations as much as 10k in aid amounts for in state

#

between schools of similar cost

fickle cloak
humble reef
#

m

#

6 in state 1 oos

#

with 3 being all 3 u of m's

fickle cloak
#

dearborn and flint?

#

r they any good

humble reef
#

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 ✨

fickle cloak
#

oof a2 all the way

humble reef
#

the biggest benefit was seeing the different aid offers and having a umich email set like 2 months ago

river vessel
#

It’s so dumb

#

I dunno why they are capping their majors

#

Like I might not go because I literally can’t study what I want to study

humble reef
#

well their only capping cs bc they legitimately must not have the people to host enough classes for x amount of kids to pass

topaz thicket
#

I’m nervous for friday

lethal flicker
#

and as might said. it is rly unfortunate but like what would u rather do? Graduate later cuz you couldn’t 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

lone spade
#

guys I was rejected from Umich but accepted into Umich flint is it worth it or not even

vague beacon
humble reef
#

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

vague beacon
#

i still don't fully understand the CS thing for transfers

#

in fact i think even the school is trying to figure it out

humble reef
#

for cs I have no clue

vague beacon
#

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

humble reef
#

ĀÆ_(惄)_/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

is it easy to transfer from um dearborn to ann arbor (for cs)

for cs the transfer process is very uncertain

other subjects most credits should transfer

lethal flicker
#

okay, best of luck!!!

vague beacon
#

tyty

#

might see you there next semes!

#

and just between you and me, i think mich is better than tufts

lethal flicker
vague beacon
#

tufts has very artificial prestige and is better for like

#

academia

#

or research

#

but if you do anything else

#

probably mich

lethal flicker
#

I’m going for med school

vague beacon
#

ah

#

in that tcase

#

im not sure

lethal flicker
#

Yeah it’s difficult to choose for premed

#

Tufts is good for research and I can take graduate level classes

vague beacon
#

so is mich though

lethal flicker
#

But Mich has Ann Arbor Med School. !!! and I could intern at local hospital or volunteer and I’d have access to faculty who r rly cool

vague beacon
#

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 šŸ‘€

lethal flicker
#

yeah šŸ‘€šŸ‘€

lethal flicker
vague beacon
#

hmmm

#

currently which one do you like more personally

lethal flicker
#

Mich

vague beacon
#

LETS GOOOO

#

if by chance we both end up choosing mich

#

let's be LSA buddies and explore the city

lethal flicker
#

Yeah!! we totally should

#

aaah I’m tryna not to think too much about it bc I want you to get in at your dream school!!!!

vague beacon
#

also im biased for mich

#

cuz they have the BIGGEST acapella scene in the country

#

and alum network

lethal flicker
#

(I also rly would like to meet you and hang out together ^-^)

vague beacon
#

and i love singing

lethal flicker
#

i haven’t done acapella before but I wanna try it out

vague beacon
#

dw there's so many groups on campus

#

me personally am considering a lsa CS + ross Business double major

vague beacon
#

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

No free laptop for me sadge

Oh well I’ll just buy a new one w my own money

#

#

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

humble reef
#

did they release it?

astral halo
#

For me they did

I assume by your reaction that they fucked you over

Oh big time yeah

Data science>>>

topaz thicket
#

guess im doing math and ds

astral halo
#

DS and Polisci here I come

#

Jesus did they admit anyone

humble reef
#

I can check it in like 10-20 minutes

astral halo
#

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

topaz thicket
#

that is a lot of copium

humble reef
#

sry guys

#

women in stem pulled through

astral halo
#

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

humble reef
#

ds is lowkey rly neat

#

idk if ill fully do cs i may do ds or other stuff

astral halo
#

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

humble reef
#

im mainly curious is if someone doesnt take it does that open up a spot for someone else

#

like later on

astral halo
#

i also wonder if you do DS bachelors you can do a CS masters

#

going to send in an email abt that

humble reef
#

ye ye for sure

#

best of luck

Didn't get in as well 😦

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

humble reef
#

I have no clue man 😭 watch them start gating it too

astral halo
#

next year they will probably lmao

#

its like CS exile zone

humble reef
#

they are legit gonna restrict so much access to such majors man

#

i can see it happening

tacit blaze
#

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?

astral halo
#

Look at the CE and CS program guides to compare them I think

topaz thicket
#

math-DS here I come

astral halo
#

I quickly deduced I really wouldn't like CE

topaz thicket
#

also u literally have actual cs experience

#

#

astral halo
#

Yeah it stings a little bit lmfao

topaz thicket
#

I don’t think it affects a lot for first and second year I assume

#

cuz I’ll probably try to transfer

astral halo
#

But I'm also super into political analysis so like DS is prolly gonna work really well for that

topaz thicket
#

I think u only need CS major declared for more upper level cs courses

astral halo
#

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

topaz thicket
#

oh lol

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

Oh awesome! Did you have a good time today?

random minnow

Yea. The tour was cool but near the end I felt like the guide talked a bit much about stuff that wasn’t really relevant. The morning was real useful though

astral halo
#

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.

And way cooler

The robotics building was sick

The robotics building was absolutely beautiful. We saw a robotic foot while we were in there which was super neat.

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)

there is no waitlist or admit data yet

Honestly I’m probably going to have regrets either way

just because the feeling will be: if I went to the other school, I wouldn’t be suffering like this or I would’ve gotten X opportunity. But the outcome will likely be similar (what I take away from my time there, where I head next)

are you poor

For umich I applied cs for uchi I applied econ so

yes I’m broke

umich is cheap though I’m in state so

topaz thicket

uchi is better if ur like actually broke

#

by actually broke ur household income is like less than 60k

quick sapphire
#

yea I think it’s 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 I’ll get considerable aid if accepted to uchicago

#

more about the academics and experience all that

topaz thicket
#

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

I would do Econ

Umich I would either do CS or try for Ross

Thanks ! But I’m actually waiting for UCLA waitlist. (Got offer to Umich).
Umich is very costly (73k) for an OOS like me. (I’m an international)
I’m 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 I’ve seen international CCC student getting into Columbia, how I wished I could too)

My AO said that my app had no red flags does that mean I have a decent shot at getting off the waitlist

lethal flicker
#

Not really, getting off waitlist is all about what kind of people don’t commit

#

Much more influenced by the filling out a class than anything else

#

and ā€œno red flagsā€ is. Not a ringing endorsement

indigo gyro
#

Yeah true

lethal flicker

Has anyone gotten their honors apps back?

lethal flicker

Yeah I’m definitely happy to be going to uiuc

Also do you only get an update if you’re accepted from the waitlist or will they also tell you if they didn’t 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

Yeah obv there’s not gonna be many spots open but I’m 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

random minnow

#

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
