University of Michigan (2023-2024)

[fluid solar]

tbh for loci i don't think the main focus is why school

it's more like an update of what's new

[glad sleet]

Write a threat so they’ll feel forced to accept you and you’re more memorable

[formal talon]

If my counselor sent the midyear report on 2/7, is that too late? Like did they already decide

[rocky fog]

no that’s fine mine was also around that date

[formal talon]

Oh nice

[velvet prairie]

anyone knows how do you withdraw your application from umich-dearborn n umich-flint, i originally clicked send my application cuz i thought i didn't need to submit the same documents twice/thrice

[hardy lichen]

Email your regional AO

[velvet prairie]

where can i find their contacts? Are they the same person as umich-ann arbor?

[hardy lichen]

Search on google and go to their website

There’s instruction on their website to find your regional AO

[velvet prairie]

can't really find it, they seem to only lead to one email/contact

[neat pawn]

do yall think i should apply for ross after my first year or get a ross minor? im planning to major in data science rn and either wanna double major or minor in business at some point

also this is super confusing but i’m also a pre-admit to college of pharmacy rn😬 my plan is either 1. double major in pharmacy and data science with a minor in business (ik it sounds like too much 😭) or apply to ross instead of going into pharmacy

[hardy lichen]

Are you domestic?

Try this

https://admissions.umich.edu/find-your-counselor

[worldly pivot]

I would decide that a couple months after u come here

[neat pawn]

valid

[hardy lichen]

You can decide it later but i heard that if u want to internal transfer to Ross, you gotta maintain high GPA in freshman year and take relevant Ross pre-courses

Idk how difficult it is to double major in Ross but its definitely easier than applying directly to Ross

[neat pawn]

yeah i was thinking double majoring

we’ll see

[worldly pivot]

I mean pharmacy and business is 2 different worlds lmao

[neat pawn]

it would be data science and business

[worldly pivot]

Yea ik I was just pointing out that those 2 are diff so make ur decision wisely

[trim mango]

yeah im gonna write it tonight

[neat pawn]

fs

[manic verge]

can i get ib/pe/any finance internships as an engineering major?

i want to go into finance after finishing my engineering degree

[glad sleet]

Word

[jade pilot]

yeah, i would look at firms like twosigma, who hire pretty much only stem background and offer internships

[glad sleet]

yo

should i submit a 1360? 710 math 650 reading for UMich Engineering

nah am oos

ok cool

thanks

senior LOL

i applied rd

texas

i didnt rlly know about UMich till the Rose Bowl...

so i didnt apply till like janurary smt

its true bruh

im rolled as fuck in terms of college

i went into senior year only thinking about 2 colleges

1 safety 1 reach

i got capped lol

im not even auto

[glad sleet]

West Point & University of Houston

now am like 7 colleges deep: UMich, UF, Penn State, West Point, Houston, Texas Tech, Purdue Indianapolis

so

i kinda fucked myself applying to colleges so late

:/

yurrr

erm

3ish years

am ranked in powerlifting in my state + captain of my school's team

am 170

but i squatted like 545, benched 315, not gonna talk about deadlift LOL

im rolled as fuck at deadlift

compared to my other lifts

its above average for sure but not crazy like my other

nah nah

yea i dont do body building stuff

i havent hit biceps in months

well no, i look relatively skinny

powerlifting is about having less body weight but lifting a lot, so we do strengt building stuff and like no volume

so we look small but are strong

like a powerlifer isnt gonna want to put on hella weight in his/her bicep bc that might put you in a weight class above and you get rolled in that weight class

yknow what i mean

aye bruh i dont do that crazy shit you see on tiktok that they bench like 2 cm

i genuinely hate deadlift

yea same

i have crazy short arms for my height too

[glad sleet]

helps bench but kills my deadlift

im 6'1 with the wingspan of someone that's like 5'8

Im at like 15%

do you do sports or naw

i do shoptut/discus in t & f, football and baseball (only indian in football)

half

my dad's white

my mom is indian

aye i was selected captain

im captain of 3 sports so im cool ig

ok anyway

im rolled as fuck in term of college apps bc none of my ecs are major related yknow what i mean

i mostly do sports and work

i never rlly did robotics

and engineering stuff

but i have a fuck ton of work experience

bahahaha

phew

idk

i never rlly felt compelled to do that shit in hs

[trim mango]

it's okay im similar

i did like 4 EA (whcih is fine amount generally but then i got deferred at p much all of them) so then i went crazy with apps over winter break and shotgunned like 13

[glad sleet]

we're just cool

[trim mango]

ya itll work out dw

firm believer in dat

[limber vapor]

Yo I heard that UMICH sends out acceptances in waves to people who got deferred from UMICH, is there a chance that the first wave might come out this friday? (2/23)

[wet imp]

No

[toxic raft]

How u know?

[exotic stone]

chance mes are not allowed

but congrats on immigrating!!

[manic verge]

Haha thanks

[manic verge]

Should i delete?

[exotic stone]

which country ya coming from

[exotic stone]

probably

[manic verge]

Central Asian country

[exotic stone]

ah nice

[manic verge]

Thanks

[hardy lichen]

dont do it

[manic verge]

i didn't submit my 1350, you shouldn't do it either imo

[glad sleet]

Appreciate it guys

[charred locust]

so when I applied for UMich, I got an option to apply to UMich Flint and Dearbon. So I wanted to know, are these different universities? Or are they just alternate campus options?

[proud peak]

completely different than UM - Ann Arbor

like the difference between UW - Madison and UW - Steven's Point

[charred locust]

any idea of the rank for CS? I was checking on reddit about it and theres a lot of mixed reviews. Like apart from being more affordable and having a smaller student body, how different would be the CS curriculum? I was curious cuz I got into Dearborn, just saw their email awhile ago ;-;
Some people said they had a good experience in Dearborn and others struggled due to lack of research etc. So I wanted some more reviews from students here

[proud peak]

well I have been accepted to Ann Arbor's CSE program, am probably going to enroll in that this next academic year; I don't want to put down UM Dearborn or Flint but they do not hold the same reputation of Ann Arbor - if someone says they went to Michigan, they mean Ann Arbor, not Dearborn or Flint

The shiny #7 for CS in the US is for UM - Ann Arbor, idk about the other two

since it is a state-run school, it has expanded to those multiple campuses, but it is still Ann Arbor that is renowned; I think the other two are almost treated as low-cost in-state schools for people just wanting to get an in-state education, but idk

I could get some more info in a lil bit, actually in a Calc II lecture rn XD

[worldly pivot]

116?

[charred locust]

aw thanks for the info! Also congrats on your acceptance into UMich, I'm hoping to get into it too :)

have a good lecture

[worldly pivot]

i wouldn't bother even considering about dearborn or flint

[proud peak]

that is sorta what I was thinking but didn't want to say that because there are many people who enjoy attending them

[proud peak]

nah I am a HS senior and dual enrolled taking it through a CC; am in state though so it would transfer to UM

[charred locust]

honestly same, I just wanted to confirm it lmao. I was explaining the same thing to my parents, they both got excited when they saw UM but i said its dearborn and i knew i'd get in 😭

[worldly pivot]

oh thought u meant u was attending a calc 2 lecture here lol

[proud peak]

nope lol, ive heard that the first few calculus classes are painful at UM idk, either way I will be transferring Calc I & II

guys idk if I have asked this here yet or not but I think I may want to dual major at UM, not sure exactly what in yet (I would major in CS for the primary major) but rn I am looking at Business, Math, Phil, and Psych; say I wanted to dual major CS + Business, how and when should I apply to Ross?

the other three would just be through LSA so I am not worried about those

[jade pilot]

anyone planning on finance in ross

[jade pilot]

uh for ross i applied through lsa. I was first accepted to lsa and then accepted into ross a little later. I think there is a small amount of people who transfer in after their first year, but primarily it was through the intitial app and ross portfolio

[proud peak]

mmmm ok, so I would still be able to apply into Ross like 1st or 2nd year at UM do you think?

I can always look into it directly myself but if you have a notion...

[jade pilot]

yeah it will definitely be hard (transferring into business at most top schools is) but its not impossible

im not sure how it works but im assuming u will need to complete prereqs and have a min gpa of something

[proud peak]

yeah that makes sense

I just figured Business + CS would give me the best prospects of getting some managerial or higher up rolls in a tech background, but like I said I am equally as interested in the prospects of the other degree areas

[jade pilot]

yeah business cs would be good, but u can also do math and get finance/econ jobs so dont worry much

im not sure ab psych and philosphy tho

[proud peak]

well those are a little different, philosophy would mix with the logical side of theoretical CS and psychology would mix with the human element of cyber security

I am also just interested in those subject areas too

[jade pilot]

is umich ur top choice?

[proud peak]

I would say out of where I have been accepted so far, yes; still waiting on a few RD decisions

even with those it would then be between Michigan and Dartmouth

if I get accepted to Dart

[jade pilot]

best of luck

[proud peak]

thanks :)

[toxic raft]

Any chance decision comes tomorrow?

[strange quiver]

possible

last few years, late february is when some RD/deferred decisions came out

don't count on it though

just assume they come late march/early april

[wintry valve]

(it's prob not tmrw)

[toxic raft]

Alr

I got deferred so I was just wondering

[sullen folio]

https://news.umflint.edu/2007/03/31/um-flint-um-aa-guaranteed-engineering-transfer-program/

guys is this the program?

[serene hill]

Im delusional for this school

[sullen folio]

I honestly thought it's a why not deal if its um aa guaranteed

[silver herald]

yo for people who got in ea

is the offer conditional?

and like what are said conditions

[worldly pivot]

no lol

u would need to do something crazy to get offer taken away from u

[silver herald]

but thats insane 💀 like if you always get As or Bs but suddenly get a D they'd still not take it away?

[wise sorrel]

how tf do i choose a photo of something or someone and write a 1250 word essay on why its significant to me

[worldly pivot]

1 D might not enough lmao but some places a 60-69 is a F

[silver herald]

did you mean to tag someone else

also is that for ross

[silver herald]

ah

here a 60-69 is a C i think

[worldly pivot]

what's a A and a B then 💀

[silver herald]

well we have

91-100 - A1
81-90 - A2
71-80 - B1
61-70 - B2

actually ill check my report card brb

[worldly pivot]

A1 all day lol

[fluid solar]

what if high schools have different grading scales and a D in my school is a C in another?

[exotic stone]

AOs know that

[manic verge]

can i do a double major in engineering + finance

[proud peak]

Definitely a possibility but be prepared for a lot of classes; since those degrees are from two separate schools/colleges, you will need to take around 140 or more credits worth of classes to complete both

It would be difficult without transferring any credit (from AP etc...) to do in 4 years

[loud trench]

280 credits

light work

[frosty yew]

choosing a major is easy

pursuing it?

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

[serene hill]

I pick them out like candy

They do not taste sweet though

[worldly pivot]

Let me know if u ever finish 280 credits

I will give u 5k usd

[loud trench]

up it to 320k

[proud peak]

nah I mean to complete both itd be 140 credits, a little more, not 280 total XD

[worldly pivot]

I will up it to 50k usd

[loud trench]

and i'll do it

[loud trench]

meet me in the middle man

160k

[worldly pivot]

160k deal

[loud trench]

alright bet

[silver herald]

did bro get into umich

[loud trench]

no

💀

[silver herald]

did you do rd or ea

[loud trench]

rd

[silver herald]

ah

gl

rooting for you

[loud trench]

im too broke to pay 80k a year anyway

[worldly pivot]

280 credits at any 4 years institution is fine

[silver herald]

(give me 10k out of that 160)

[loud trench]

yes

[silver herald]

damn

[loud trench]

bro

[silver herald]

can i also avail said bet

[loud trench]

i forgot to account for inflation

its 4 years from now

[silver herald]

i plan on sextuple majoring

[loud trench]

lets do 240

at an average of 9%

accounting for inflation

you gonna owe me 225853.06

[silver herald]

lmao what

what site is that

[loud trench]

160k is 225k in 4 years

[loud trench]

some compound interest calculator

[worldly pivot]

Think ur getting too excited

Don’t think yk how big of task 280 credits is

[loud trench]

light work baby

too easy for me

you're paying for my college loans with that 225k

[worldly pivot]

280 credits in 4 years is nasty work

[loud trench]

if someones paying me 225k to do it

i will

[worldly pivot]

I will still be here in 4 years, just won’t be active at all. If u complete it, tag me

[manic verge]

Does test optional hurt your chances ? Specifically in umich admissions case

[proud peak]

probably, refer to Dartmouth's study on test-optional admissions for more information; I assume the trends detailed in that are relatively general

[frosty yew]

if someone can do 280 credits in 4 years i will match a 160k

(ap credits dont count)

[wise sorrel]

how many classes per sem is that

[frosty yew]

(dual credit does)

[frosty yew]

assuming you are doing all semesters at 18 credits a semester, you get max 54 per year

but if you do overtime college you could go over

at which point you need to do

23.33 credits per semester

a class is usually 3/4 credits

so about 6-8 classes per semester

[kind scaffold]

ik it's delusional to ask, but has anyone got their umich decisions today? there was talking of some being released in the last friday of feb

[placid ruin]

I was looking for that too

I didnt see anything

[kind scaffold]

last time around it released at this time

[placid ruin]

I know

[kind scaffold]

haven't got any updates personally

[placid ruin]

Me neither

Maybe it will be later

[kind scaffold]

the thing is, i was thinking that they may release decisions for those who sent their LOCIs early

like 1-2 days after the decision came out

[placid ruin]

I dont think the LOCI matters too much in their decision process

[kind scaffold]

i personally sent mine a week and a half after so im not entirely surprised or anything

[kind scaffold]

interesting, but the earlier you send it then ig it's indication you still wanna be actively considered?

[placid ruin]

That is true, but if you're qualified you're qualified

The LOCI won't change that too much

It might boost you over those who are the same as you and didn't do LOCI

[kind scaffold]

dunno it could if it's compelling enough right

[placid ruin]

True

[kind scaffold]

it definitely would as long as you haven't just yapped for 250 words lmao

[placid ruin]

Well best of luck to you!

[kind scaffold]

thank you! just peeked reddit and doesn't seem like anyone has commented with any results

so ig it was a heavy improbability anyone would get decisions today but interested to see if anyone does get 'em. Best of luck to y'all!

[spare basalt]

i heard they stop doing waves last year

havent gotten anything yet and im instate submitted my loci in 3 days

[kind scaffold]

where did you hear that from?

[spare basalt]

college confidential lol

[kind scaffold]

looked at the Postponed FAQ, allegedly the LOCI has no direct bearing on the admission like the other person said but we don't really know

[manic verge]

submitted on the 1st of feb

when will the decisions come

[kind scaffold]

EA or RD?

[manic verge]

rd

[spare basalt]

yeah i thought it did bc 2 years ago someone submitted loci from my school early and got their decision end of feb

ig not anymore

[manic verge]

submitted by application on the 1st

how long do i have to wait

[kind scaffold]

bro you're not gonna get it as soon as we EA defers

[frosty yew]

dont come to umich

L school

go to any other school

dining hall food makes me wanna throw up

[kind scaffold]

lol

[neat pawn]

doesn’t food suck everywhere besides like ucla 😭

[frosty yew]

yes

so just go to ucla

do not come

[proud peak]

is it really that bad?

i was planning on staying off-campus and making my own food anyways but damn

[undone token]

i liked east quad

mojo had good desserts too

once i got horrific food poisoning from mojo fish

[wise sorrel]

no duke has rlly good food

[frosty yew]

yes its so bad

[frosty yew]

too far

as a mojo enjoyer i still hate dining

[undone token]

nah east quad is actually tastiest

also

[proud peak]

is that like a recent thing? i have found like 5 different r/uofm posts each with comments that say the dining is world class (no joke someone said that)

[undone token]

mojo sandwich pesto mayo

[proud peak]

the posts were from like 6 or so years ago

[undone token]

its very hit or miss for me

i didnt think it was awful

but there were certainly some questionable dishes

and also i did get projectile diarrhea once from the salmon

[proud peak]

that is awesome

[undone token]

the mdining holiday/themed dinners were always fun

idk i liked the desserts certainly

banana icebox pudding

that was good

[proud peak]

i have a gluten intolerance, is there any selection of GF food?

[undone token]

ya in sq

[proud peak]

mmm ok

ive heard the dining plans are expensive and it would just be cheaper to eat out every meal, like i said i was planning on making most of my own food anyways, but is that true?

[worldly pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/side-eye-dog-suspicious-look-suspicious-doubt-dog-doubt-gif-23680990

I would rank it near the top tho

All tho every single dining hall is mid or worse

[worldly pivot]

World class 💀💀💀 not a single dish I have eaten I would give better than a 6

[proud peak]

🤣 yeah idk the posts were 6-7 years old so i guess covid fucked everything or something XD

[paper marsh]

did anyone get a decision today?

[limber vapor]

Nope

[rose slate]

bro never been to bursley

[worldly pivot]

been there the 2nd most

[rose slate]

best hall fr

[worldly pivot]

always right after i go to the ncrb

[rose slate]

(i am joking)

[worldly pivot]

betetr than markley

[rose slate]

what markley

[alpine igloo]

Is it rlly hard to get in umich oos

RD

[rose slate]

a diff hall?

it is

public school

[worldly pivot]

yea

[rose slate]

but its def possiblke

[rose slate]

ah, i dont go to umich but my girl does and she dines at bvursley so she gets me in sometimes

she complains on how its the worst

[worldly pivot]

cuz everyone at bursley has to take the bus to central 😂

[rose slate]

well yeah but she just says the foods wayy better on centrakl

[undone token]

thats not even true

bursleys like mid ass food

they just have an espresso machine

its not worth it

[proud peak]

anyone know where the best place to look for off-campus housing is? seems like the official UM Off-Campus Housing webpage has all the like formal apartment buildings and stuff and Zillow has a lot of the list-by-owner style rentals; is there somewhere I should be checking?

[undone token]

literally the off campus housing page

[proud peak]

well yeah but like i said there is a lot of stuff on Zillow not on there

that is why i was wondering if there was even more stuff somewhere else idk

[undone token]

i mean yeah but do you really wanna be looking there

💀

[proud peak]

well idk i think id prefer a rental house over an apartment

[undone token]

you can look at individual rental company sites

like thats what i did

[proud peak]

i mean some of the places are sub 1000/month i am not expecting anything pretty

[proud peak]

mmmm ok

will keep that in mind

[undone token]

you'll need roommates if you want anything good near campus

for sub 1000/month

[proud peak]

yeah i have one pretty good friend that i have already spoken with about renting together

might have a 3rd but dont know him as well

but yeah i would like to be pretty close to campus although i know the busing is good

[hardy lichen]

good evening! Did you attended the campus day for admitted students last year? Do you recommend me doing so? (I have to fly from China all the way to Ann Arbor so I’m hesitating on whether it worths) @worldly pivot @frosty yew @pale veldt

[undone token]

LMFAO

[serene hill]

I want you

[vague dew]

Probably not worth it

unless you have a lot of money lol

[worldly pivot]

I didn’t attend campus day

First time ever visiting campus for me was orientation

I don’t think it’s worth it

Unless like az said u have a lot of money and must need to know what the school is like

[hardy lichen]

okk tysm！

[manic verge]

Can I transfer to umich in my freshman year?

For the winter term

[wintry valve]

uh i dont think ive ever heard of that

[sullen folio]

.

guys is this the same program?

[frosty yew]

might have fell off

or some people are DELUDED

[frosty yew]

are you rich

I already toured umich before so I didn’t bother

if ur rich u might as well try the water

[hardy lichen]

Not😭

[left gyro]

Noooo don’t do this

I don’t think it’s worth it at all

From China to mich???

Just look at virtual tours

[toxic raft]

when is rd?

[wintry valve]

unconfirmed but maybe around march 29

[toxic raft]

will it come out earlier for differed applicants?

[wintry valve]

prob not

[warm hollow]

i doubt they are gonna do waves this year

might j have to wait until april

[hardy lichen]

Got it! Tysm!

[formal talon]

do you think adding that im proficient in another language helps my application or is it just meant for demographic purposes

[toxic raft]

ok thanks

[worldly pivot]

no to both

[formal talon]

what does it do then

[worldly pivot]

really nothing much besides a data point

mainly bc there's no verification if u acutally know it or not

[formal talon]

what about seal of biliteracy

[worldly pivot]

yes, that helps

[formal talon]

its just that my district awards seal of biliteracy for students who take 4 years of foreign language but I didn't put this on my common app since i technically didnt earn it yet

so i was hoping that the language proficiency section would cover it

[worldly pivot]

is it spanish or a native language? bc knowing a 2nd or 3rd language isn't gonna have a whole lot of weight if u have no extracurricular for it

[formal talon]

its mandarin

[formal talon]

but the seal of biliteracy is still an award

[worldly pivot]

yea it is, prob soemthing u put in ur loci

[worldly pivot]

i mean ik mandarin too but it def didn't help me get in

[formal talon]

maybe being bilingual tipped the scales minisculely

[slim spade]

what's the best dorms?

[glad sleet]

umich accept meeee

[formal talon]

Do you think submitting a 1470 was a good idea? I think it’s like the 25th percentile

Oh nvm I think it’s above average in lsa

[fluid solar]

should submit if in state

[proud peak]

i submitted a 1450 in state and got into CSE advance selection EA

if that helps :)

[frosty yew]

not reading or writing tho

[worldly pivot]

nah ik a lot now

[fluid solar]

fluent in mandarin and english + average in spanish + learning korean; didn't help 🙂 got deferred lol

tbh i don't think the languages u put on common app contribute a lot to making decisions (?)

[placid ruin]

College Confidential is saying they ended RD waves last year

[exotic stone]

i doubt they do wave s

[warm hollow]

yea they stopped

i j saw the thread

i feel like waves make sense for students who applied to specific programs within the school

[worldly pivot]

ok so i was right, man y'all gaslighted me into thinking we still had waves 😭

[placid ruin]

This is the first year they've not done it

[trim mango]

rip

more time for my loci procrastination tho

[left gyro]

😂😂

This server will do that to you

[neat pawn]

hii you can get a bs in pharmaceutical science at the college of pharmacy it’s not just for pharmd right🤤🤤

idk if i wanna go to school for 7 years..

[worldly pivot]

@wintry valve for lsa honors, u get guaranteed good housing (south quad).

[plucky iron]

https://rossweb.bus.umich.edu/academics/dual-degrees-minors-special-programs/bba-dual/engineering/ is this program available to apply as an undergrad

how competitive is it

[proud peak]

i wanna know this too because this is something I would be interested in

CSE dual major BBA

[plucky iron]

yeah it looks cool

[proud peak]

mhmm id love to do something like that

otherwise i think id just dual major with something in lsa

[plucky iron]

it's probably competitive asf tho lol

[proud peak]

because you need to apply to ross separately

[plucky iron]

r u a senior?

[proud peak]

so as like a freshmen or sophomore you have to apply to it

HS senior yah

[plucky iron]

ah

[plucky iron]

ohh it's not a HS application thing?

[proud peak]

mmmmm you probably could

[plucky iron]

I have to apply to the program after I get in?

hm

[proud peak]

but if you want to apply to cse

you would need to apply to cse and ross somehow

idk usually you can only select one on the app

unless im dumb and missed something

[plucky iron]

hm ok

yeah that makes sense

[vast plank]

are there any other known dates decisions could drop other than march 9th

[spark rain]

I just sent mine in a couple days after I got deferred

[left gyro]

where’s my scholarship 😭

legit can’t afford this school without one sooo pls umich clutch up

[uncut delta]

do they release on rolling basis or come out with financial aid package?

[left gyro]

idk

[proud peak]

im hoping i get some aid or scholarship too :(

i did get one scholarship already but it would only cover 1/3 of the cost - am in state but still, parents arent contributing and i dont go no money (yet 😈)

[left gyro]

hope it happens!

u can also fill out the 4 year renewable scholarship app to get more!

like the alumni scholarship

[proud peak]

oh it says all new admits are now automatically considered, idk when they announce it

thanks for telling me about that tho, i didnt even know about that

https://lsa.umich.edu/scholarships/prospective-students/four-year-renewable.html

[left gyro]

yes thats true but there's a few scholarships where u had to fill out the lsa scholars app

[proud peak]

oh i applied into the CoE, would those still be applicable to me?

am accepted to cse

[left gyro]

ohhh idk

i would check

they may have a similar scholarship for coe

[proud peak]

yeah when i was looking at coe scholarships a lot of them just said automatic consideration so i didnt really look further

probably should

[paper marsh]

anyone know if umich requires a mid year report (1st semester senior grades)

[toxic raft]

yea

[toxic raft]

they do

[vast plank]

anyone know some release dates

[pulsar crater]

some?

[fluid solar]

they did waves last year

not sure if they're gonna do it again this year

has anyone gotten their deferred decisions back alr?

[wintry valve]

p sure some co 2027 said they didnt do waves last yr

[vast plank]

They are this year I know they did one in feb and I’m p sure 3/12 is one

[wintry valve]

i think ur setting urself up for disappointment

[vast plank]

let me cope in peace

[spark rain]

There is no chance they do waves. I even went to an info session recently and they confirmed that most likely they will release the decisions on March 29th

[vast plank]

alright then

[wooden crystal]

https://www.michigandaily.com/opinion/columns/reddit-deserves-more-credit/

[silver herald]

real

[pulsar crater]

how do we approach umich defer form

[pulsar crater]

you are deferred from umich like I did right

[silver herald]

no

i didn't apply

[pulsar crater]

oh okay then

[manic verge]

what major did u apply to other universities

[silver herald]

varies based on the university

[vast plank]

We did it Reddit

[manic verge]

just a regular loci

[pulsar crater]

fair nuf

[lean shale]

Did anyone else who got admitted get an email from an alumni local to you offering to answer any questions about the university/Ann Arbor?

[cold cypress]

When the next Ross round release?

[placid ruin]

They announced merit scholarships with EA, need based will come out with the financial aid package

[uncut delta]

oh ok thx

[elfin fossil]

when is rd coming out

[spark rain]

29th probably

March

[left gyro]

she forgot the part about the toxicity of the Reddit and discord 🥰

[wooden crystal]

Not really forgotten about tbh

If you look at what exactly the comment is answering the attitude of the community wouldn’t be applicable

And the article in general isn’t so long where they seemed like they were aiming for long quotes (the length of that one is pushing it as is anyways)

It’s also not a solely A2C focused article so they probably don’t wanna yap too much abt it

[sly torrent]

did anyone else get a financial aid package today?

[fluid solar]

are they still doing waves for deferred EA?

[wet imp]

no

they discontinued after last year

[crude marsh]

anyone know when rd comes out

[wet imp]

march 29

[foggy terrace]

is this confirmed?

[indigo portal]

Does Michigan give OOS Merit aid?

[fluid solar]

very unlikely ig

[hardy lichen]

me

[hardy lichen]

I think it’s 3/15

[pulsar crater]

do I really start the defer from thingy the same way I start an actual LOCI

[strange quiver]

Up to you, no set format but I assume most people would format it as a proper LOCI

[fallen python]

Hm

[left gyro]

no

im oos tho?

[lean shale]

So am I

[knotty comet]

when tf is rd

[jagged bear]

april 1?

idk

[knotty comet]

why r bros so late

[manic verge]

24th

[strange quiver]

.

proof

[raven pine]

last friday of march likely

what it has been historically

idk if its gonna be different since good friday is the last friday but what do ik im not the AO

[proud peak]

"Final decisions will be released by early April 2024"; many schools state this as their deadline just in case, but usually release RD decisions within the final week of March. I would guess the 27th or 28th but does it really matter that much?

[worldly pivot]

what is good friday lol

[proud peak]

the friday before Easter

commonly celebrated among all branches of Christianity

[worldly pivot]

gotcha

prob still march 29 since we don't got school off that day

[manic verge]

Friday is celebrated by Muslims🗿

[wintry valve]

?

[left gyro]

um yeah

I don’t know why you used that emoji but yeah it is, kind of. not a holiday though

[obtuse wagon]

it’s not celebrated it’s more like a sabbath

[exotic stone]

muslims have good friday?

[left gyro]

no..friday is a day where Muslims pray in congregation and educate themselves more about Islam. It's the most significant day of the week.

we dont have a good friday, i dont know what that is

[exotic stone]

oh

[raven pine]

good friday, nah, im getting rejected by Umich fym?

[sharp obsidian]

Just got an acceptance package 💛💙

[fluid solar]

show!!

[steep wren]

show!!!

[raven pine]

show!!

[proud peak]

[lean shale]

Like an actual package? I got a letter with some stickers in it

[unique onyx]

^^

[proud peak]

^^

[left gyro]

they gave me stickers in mine

and two different acceptance letters

and one really cute banner

[foggy sand]

same

[sharp obsidian]

yeah same

A letter, stickers, a triangular bookmark(?), ssome brochures and a letter

[silver herald]

omg show the bookmark

[torn steeple]

Woah, nice! Was this for EA, or did you just get your decision earlier (like some SMTD and Ross? results)?

[sharp obsidian]

EA LSA

[sharp obsidian]

I'm not exactly sure if its a bookmark because it's huge

Is it a bookmark?

[torn steeple]

Congrats!

[fluid solar]

that's probs a banner?

[sharp obsidian]

Not really sure because it's quite thick and sturdy

Maybe it's a flag?

[sharp obsidian]

Thanks!

[silver herald]

oh that is like a flag i think

[subtle hinge]

so cool

congrats

[silver herald]

you got yours?

[unique onyx]

campus day this week 🔥

[plucky cedar]

when will rd decisions come out

umich is prolly my no 1 realistic choice

[silver herald]

how is umich realistic it's a T20 💀

[plucky cedar]

yeah well the other non realistic schools yet to come for me are mit, stanford, cornell and columbia

all rd for engineering (international)

oh and also berkeley eecs 😭💀

[exotic stone]

t21 🤓

[silver herald]

i said what i said

[silver herald]

Just because the other schools are more selective doesn't mean umich is realistic lol

[silver herald]

Berkeley is easy to get into

[plucky cedar]

i swear if i get into berkeley eecs i am paying that deposit right away

my dream school and my dream major

since freshman year

[exotic stone]

bro got imposter syndrome cos she got in

💀

berkeley is literally a t20 sm 🤓

[silver herald]

lol no im trolling

[silver herald]

t15* smh

[silver herald]

hope you get in!

[exotic stone]

its a fake t15

dartmouth better 🗣️ 🗣️

[silver herald]

cali>>>>>>>

[unique onyx]

https://tenor.com/view/lie-lie-detector-cap-you-are-lying-stop-lying-gif-12198388917433403789

[plucky cedar]

see u in campus this fall! (delusional)

[silver herald]

tell me with a straight face you'd choose dart over berk

[silver herald]

likewise!

[exotic stone]

on a real note

i would

but they're both insane

[exotic stone]

mostly just bcos its better for me and my career aims

but id choose other lower ranked schools over cal too bcos they're better for high finance

[left gyro]

thats a banner lol

[silver herald]

isn't Haas better

[exotic stone]

nah

[wet imp]

Who wouldnt lmao

Id choose dart over berk 10/10

Even if i was instate cali

[exotic stone]

same

[wet imp]

No one actually cares about us news rankings

[silver herald]

why /gen

[wet imp]

Berkeley is t15 by name

Dartmouth is more prestigious

Better alumni network

[exotic stone]

even in terms of just retail prestige

[wet imp]

Smaller class sizes

[exotic stone]

dartmouth beats out berkeley by a lot

[wet imp]

The entire bay gets into berk

Their class sizes are huge

[silver herald]

Yeah but isn't dart more liberal arts oriented

[exotic stone]

dartmouth being ivy league and private also makes it way more prestigious

[wet imp]

Berk culture too toxic and sweaty

[silver herald]

Objectively dart is better

[exotic stone]

as compared to cal which is public

[wet imp]

Area isnt great for either tbh

[silver herald]

But i thought berkeley was better for business

[wet imp]

Location wise

They both suck

[silver herald]

And stem

[exotic stone]

dartmouth area is better tho

[wet imp]

No one actually thinks haas is that good

Dartmouth is far better for ib

[silver herald]

really💀

[wet imp]

If i was cs or eng id go berk

But even then its quite toxic

[exotic stone]

atleast new hampshire is east coast

[wet imp]

Berk MET>>>>>

[exotic stone]

same

[wet imp]

Met is insane

[silver herald]

yeah valid

[exotic stone]

but like its not even just dartmouth

[wet imp]

Eecs

[silver herald]

berkeley is a good choice for cs/eng or instate

[exotic stone]

like vandy is ranked lower than cal too

and they're also better for ib

[silver herald]

ah

[wet imp]

Vandy is far happier

Happiest t20

[silver herald]

who needs happiness

[silver herald]

nah that's uchicago

[wet imp]

Clearly not berkeley students

[exotic stone]

georgetown, nyu, umich too

[wet imp]

I hope this is a joke 😭

[exotic stone]

real

vandy gotta be happy

[wet imp]

A school with the unofficial motto, where fun goes to die

Isnt exactly the happiest

[silver herald]

what are you talking about!!! fun goes to die thrive at uchicago!!!!

[wet imp]

Idk about georgetown dawg 💀💀

Umich fs

Nyu debatable

[silver herald]

is that not the official motto

i said that in my uchicago video

[wet imp]

It should be

[silver herald]

i think he meant for like better for ib than berkeley

not happier

Georgetown seems elitist

[exotic stone]

georgetown def better for ib and prestige

idk about happier

[exotic stone]

that alumni network tho

[silver herald]

nothing beats trojan network

[wet imp]

Oh yea fs

[wet imp]

It is

[wet imp]

Dartmouth might

Texas A&M is a straight up cult

Their network is insane

[exotic stone]

byu and tamu technically have the best alumni networks

also bc has a solid network

id argue byu best network tho

those mormons really look out for each other

[silver herald]

😭

nothing beats a2c network 💯

[trim mango]

facts

[worldly pivot]

This is unfair, I didn’t get this

[subtle hinge]

international :((((((((((((((

[silver herald]

lol you think i dont know that

my classmate got his thats why i asked

albeit slightly damaged but

[subtle hinge]

oh damnn

[silver herald]

Sorry if this is the wrong channel but am I turboscrewed if I didn't send an ECI to umich? I'm RD CS :(

I don't see the slot to fill it out anymore, I think I missed the window to turn it in...

[dusky forge]

same. i was gonna do it tonight lol

[slate wyvern]

D:

[strange quiver]

The ECI is technically meant for postponed applicants but it shows up for everyone. Don’t think too much

An ECI won’t be the reason for a rejection if it happens, especially if you’re RD

[wise sorrel]

withdrew MICH!

[silver herald]

why😭

[wise sorrel]

not going over ut

[silver herald]

ok but you already wrote the essays and paid the app fee

might as well get the acceptance package

[wise sorrel]

i lowk forgot to do the eci

and so…

[quaint creek]

i submitted it march 7th at 11:58pm

[silver herald]

did you get deferred?

ea

[fossil plaza]

i thought when they said "by march 8" and "no later than march 8" it meant up till march 8 at 11:59

was going to submit today after i finisheed sutdiying adn it was gone 💀

hoping its some technical error and they reopen it tomorrow or something lmao

if anyone else is in the same situation as me i found this post on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/1b9gbth/university_of_michigan_letter_of_continued/ (might get some updates who knows)

[fossil plaza]

imma call them tomorrow in the morning potentially and see if it was a tehcnical error or if i just fucked up

[prisma flame]

did u call them

[shadow portal]

I thought the same

Bruh I was planning to submit like an hour after 12 and they closed it

[slate wyvern]

Same here

[slate wyvern]

Yep

[vernal lance]

it’s open now!

[slate wyvern]

Waif someone on reddit said it's fixed

Can't verify

Yeah LOL

WOO

IM SAVE

D

[rapid rock]

It is i called them and they said it was a system error

[slate wyvern]

Thank the gourd

[shadow portal]

Thank goodness

[worldly pivot]

Need to do a poll after rd decisions come out to see if any of y’all that is going to submit the loci today actually got in

[fossil plaza]

[trim mango]

[prisma flame]

mistake from their end

[trim mango]

[pale quarry]

that took a lot more effort than i was anticipating

if UMich doesnt accept me im gonna say a cuss word

they better watch out

[fossil plaza]

Umich accept this man

[pale quarry]

or else

[fossil plaza]

Imma be honest I kinda just copied parts of my other loci

And researched like one minor

I try harded on the essays though

[strange quiver]

For my LOCI, my AO had told me that I was welcome to reference any insights I had gotten from speaking to the LSA ambassadors or LSA professors so I made one paragraph just to talk about my interaction with one of the sophomores and a couple of my major’s professors as well as some traditional activities at umich

rest were all updates on awards and ECs

[trim mango]

ok yall i finished mine

can someone who alrdy submitted read it

or someone accepted idk LOL

i just dont know if im too vague when talking ab my interest for mich

[wise sorrel]

i’ll read it

[fossil plaza]

i put my heart and soul into the essasys for umich

im drained for this loci

[raven pine]

real

i had 250 words to write the greatest piece of argumentative literature in philosophical history, that's exactly what i did

[slate wyvern]

Should I put down the local scholarship competitions that i won?

Or nah

Is that not beneficial to the app lol

[near karma]

yes

ofcourse

[slate wyvern]

epic rad

Ty

[raven pine]

nah cuz i did that and i dont want u to copy me since ur my competition 😂

[slate wyvern]

LOL

[manic verge]

yes

then updayes and lowkey sucking up to the school

make it a why us if you dont have many updaytes

[torpid bobcat]

Don’t feel like doing this loci

[manic verge]

LMFAO

good on you

thats what i did lol

[fossil plaza]

LMAO

Anyone down for a quick peer review of eci

My issue with my eci is that I like used up provably eveything related to my major in my essays lmao

So part of the why us component is a minor that’s quite related

But I didn’t go into detiwl@at all

[worldly pivot]

Then ChatGPT it and help the others here out but eliminating yourself

[torpid bobcat]

What

[fossil plaza]

Or just say “I am no longer interested in this school”

[trim mango]

i hope ,mine is ok io am aboutto submit

my dad read it over so all trust is in him

[unique onyx]

today was rainy and cold I am sorry did not get any more

[pale quarry]

your dad is the last line of defense

[analog veldt]

awh its okay <3 thanks for trying

[fossil plaza]

same i just submitted

40 minute before the deadline

[slate wyvern]

!umich

!uofm

hm.

Is umich rolling admissions or just one release date?

[strange quiver]

Previous years, it used to be rolling

This year, it has been shifted to one release date

[slate wyvern]

👍

Tyvm

[sharp flower]

do u know what day it is

[strange quiver]

Sorry, I am not sure about the exact date but it will likely be the last Friday of March

[paper marsh]

march 29

[sharp flower]

Thx

[fossil plaza]

Oh really?

I always thought it was like early April

[calm mountain]

Idt it is it said by early april. But every college says that yet never release in april

[raven pine]

im like 90% sure its the last friday in march

[thorn dirge]

remember guys the letter of continued interest is due tomorrow

[wintry valve]

it was due yesterday?

at least according to my friends who submitted

[wet imp]

It was due march 8th

[fossil plaza]

It was due yesterday yeah

[thorn dirge]

nah thats what the email said but they pushed it back

@fossil plaza

[fossil plaza]

Oh I see

W Michigan then

[lyric mauve]

Guys does it matter when u submit loci as long as it’s before deadline

[haughty patio]

I remember reading on the website that it doesn’t matter

[quaint creek]

it shouldn't ig

[fossil plaza]

Shouldn’t matter

[analog veldt]

"shouldn't matter" but michigan's usually capping y'all can interpret that any way u want

[trim mango]

No if you send one at 11:59 the day it's due you get automatic acceptance because they will remember you very freshly

[fossil plaza]

Give her a Harvard full ride rn

[manic verge]

alright yall when these decisions coming out

29th?

[fossil plaza]

Probably early April

That’s my bet

[manic verge]

Every college always says that

But they always do the 29tj

Well not the 29th

But before April 1st

[stray harbor]

OH

[fossil plaza]

Isn’t Michigan like notorious for like

Bad communication or smth

On every year forum I see people like complaining that umich never tells them when it comes out

[manic verge]

Who knows

Hopefully it’s the 29th tho

[manic verge]

it seems like a year of wait

Waiting*

[trim mango]

we are so close yet so far

[frosty yew]

i wonder if theres a umich 28 discord yet

[worldly pivot]

U want to join the ‘28 server already so bad

when

[hardy briar]

has anyone deferred received an update yet?

[pulsar crater]

not me

[hardy briar]

am i really gonna gave to wait till early april what has it been in past yrs dyk

[worldly pivot]

most deferred decisions (esp oos) usually came out last friday of march even for when they did waves

[hardy briar]

i got deferred but i still have no decision its over

[worldly pivot]

bro no decisions has came out yet

ur chillin

[exotic stone]

💀

[worldly willow]

What does being deferred have to do with it

U realize u get deferred to the rd round

So it comes out at the same time regardless of whether ur deferred or rd

[hardy briar]

oh ok on my portal it says it comes out before early april i wasnt sure whether it was rolling or not

[fossil plaza]

Not rolling

Anymore

[hardy briar]

ah i c is there a specific date?

[fossil plaza]

People suspect like the last Friday of march

But it could be early April too

[steel valley]

Does Michigan release in waves?

Cuz I saw this person’s story saying someone’s going to Michigan

And I don’t think she got in EA

[torn steeple]

if it helps i know some um-smtd decisions came out early

i got my smtd acceptance in feb

[fossil plaza]

What’s smtd

[fluid solar]

University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance

[torn steeple]

yeah ^

[trim mango]

yeah my friend got her decision back for the music school

but i dont know anyone else who has

[spark rain]

School of architecture info session said they will release 29th of March

[strange quiver]

Makes sense, they usually release in the last week of March and on a Friday so that means 29th

[fossil plaza]

Ah makes sense usually those programs are different right

So they would release different from everyone else

[glad sleet]

Cheri cheri lady

[azure knoll]

great song!

[vocal prawn]

Should I mentally book 29th? And Purdue RN gang

[torn steeple]

probably, i had to submit my application by dec 1 and did my audition in mid-jan

so i have to be admitted to my program AND umich as a whole

[glad sleet]

anyone RD heard back yet?

is it actually waves or naw

[fossil plaza]

prob not

[jagged bear]

When did RD come out last year

[worldly willow]

Time for you to get a watch
