University of Michigan (2023-2024)

[sharp obsidian]

However

I don't think it is impossible to survive

[grave orchid]

I see T__t

How about the criminal rate tho

[sharp obsidian]

The problem tho is that with climate change winters can sometimes be unpredictability harsh

And from what I've heard the university will still function as normal

[hollow slate]

I don’t think that’s true

[unique onyx]

i would say bring a warm and long coat and you'll be okay, look on reddit for what people recommend i think

[hollow slate]

It’s a very small town surrounded by a massive college

[sharp obsidian]

This ⬆️

[unique onyx]

i don't think it's true

[sharp obsidian]

Ann Arbor is not unsafe

[unique onyx]

avoid shady places and going out alone at night and u shouold be okay

[sharp obsidian]

It might not be one of the safest places in the country but it definitely isn't unsafe from what I've heard

[grave orchid]

I seee, and my mom is also worried wether people will be friendly to asian people according to how ann arbor is less diverse than other big cities, any accounts or experiences?

[sharp obsidian]

Correct me if I'm wrong, UMich itself is kind of diverse?

You'll meet a lot of fellow Asians

[grave orchid]

Yea but my mom talking about outside the campus T__t (My mom overthink a lot im sorry)

[hollow slate]

I’m sure you’ll be fine honestly you are going to be spending a lot of your time on campus… Ann Arbor is just the “city” that it’s based in which is very small. It’s a college town

[unique onyx]

nah it's perfectly normal to worry about that stuff

[sharp obsidian]

Tbf racism doesn't come to mind when you think of Ann Arbor

There might be a couple incidents

But it isn't too much of an intimidating town

[unique onyx]

i can't tell u exactly for south asians but one thing that i really enjoyed noticing about umich and by extension ann arbor is that a lot of the friend groups around campus are mixed between different ethnicities and cultures, there's not a super homogenous or exclusive culture that's noticeable

[sharp obsidian]

On a sidenote, it's one of the best college towns in the nation

[unique onyx]

as an east asian i felt comfortable

^^

[unique onyx]

yeah it's definitely not known for racism/discrimination

[grave orchid]

Glad u feel that way!

[unique onyx]

ther

oops

there's a good proportion of east/central/south asians as well it's not super dominated by one or the other

[sharp obsidian]

Honestly between UCSD and UMich the three biggest differences are the weather, the college system at SD, and the social life

[grave orchid]

Can u elaborate more if u dont mind, except for the weather maybe bcs I already knew the general

Ill really appreciate that

[sharp obsidian]

I can't speak about the engineering/data science programs, but apart from that, this is what I have

[sharp obsidian]

UCSD has a college system, i.e. students are asked to rank the 8 colleges of the uni and they'll get assigned one when they're admitted. Your acceptance letter must have your college assignment too. Each of the colleges has its own culture and requirements, so while you will still be taking classes in the university in general, you'll be more involved(and associated) with your college outside of academics

Again all of this is from what I've heard

[grave orchid]

I see T__T so thats why I have to rank the colleges in commonapp back then

[sharp obsidian]

UCSD is infamously known as UC Socially Dead

[grave orchid]

Wait whyyy

[sharp obsidian]

This might be due to the relatively large number of commuters

[grave orchid]

I thought umich was more socially dead (sorry)

[sharp obsidian]

Who practically aren't involved in some of the campus activities

Of course you will have a social life

[unique onyx]

umich is hella social

[sharp obsidian]

But it will be easier to be involved in UMich than SD

[grave orchid]

I seee

Brand new information

[unique onyx]

granted it is hard to get involved if ur not proactive about it because it's a large public school with a lot of students but

if you put effort into being proactive and making friends / reaching out / joining stuff that ur interested in u should haev no problem at all

[sharp obsidian]

Tbf that's true for any large public uni

[unique onyx]

yeah true

[sharp obsidian]

Again make sure you get info from current UMich students

[unique onyx]

^^

[sharp obsidian]

They will always be more reliable than us

[unique onyx]

i can send u the link for the umich '28 server if you want in dms

[grave orchid]

are u guys commited to umichh

[sharp obsidian]

Same for UCSD

[unique onyx]

you can ask questions to current students

[unique onyx]

ye

[sharp obsidian]

Pretty much!

[grave orchid]

yea Im tryna reaching out to ucsd student

[grave orchid]

Ill dm u

[unique onyx]

okk

[grave orchid]

Thank youu everyonee!

[unique onyx]

ofc!

[wet imp]

Every school was a safety back in his day

[lean shale]

Anyone at campus day today?

[worldly pivot]

Dang we really not partying hard enough 😭

[grave orchid]

Noo its bcs I didnt really heard much about u guys

[manic verge]

Cs

[toxic raft]

Me

[vague zenith]

My FAFSA is processed but it's still showing up in the portal as incomplete, is this true for anyone else? I'm just a bit worried because the deadline is approaching

[proud peak]

when should i expect to receive my actual aid package info

the estimated aid thing they sent like 4-6 weeks ago was only based on CSS

[tired mantle]

Where did you find this?

[unique onyx]

there's a c/o 2028 discord server for those accepted btw, i can dm link if you want! can't send here

[wet imp]

U own it?

[unique onyx]

yes

[proud peak]

find what? my estimated aid? they emailed it to me

Feb 13

was wondering because that estimated offer contained zero financial aid, and as an instate the calculator was saying I would get like at least 10k/yr

• their Go Blue Guarantee also says that like 85-90% of families (forget the exact percentage) in the income range which my family is in receive aid

so im wondering if im getting aid or not, because im not going if i dont get aid

[golden hatch]

Got in. High stats with test submitted. Very happy

[manic verge]

You should be

[unique onyx]

congrats!

[glad sleet]

I got waitlisted, not even mad

No real STEM experience, t/o, oos, top 15% of graduating class, main ecs are sports and working 30+ hours a week, applied chemE

I withdrew so someone that needs it more than me can have it 🫡

[plush kettle]

i looked up their cds and they legit waitlist like 30% of applicants lol

[tired mantle]

Oh

[raven pine]

no way its only 30% this year tho

i feel like Umich is trying to weed out people who RD since they won a natty from the people (like me :) ) who geniunley want to go here

[coarse ridge]

I was waitlisted but it said an update was posted in an email today

Although I don't see any change

Is this just a technical error?

[neat pawn]

has anyone gotten their official financial aid or just estimated

• lsa scholarships

[proud peak]

i would like to know this too

[neat pawn]

i was emailing with the aid and scholarships office and they said early to mid april but i need it nowww

[proud peak]

yeah i emailed them back in mid-feb and they pretty much said based on the css i am getting zero aid

which i am well within the bracket for their go blue guarantee which states my aid should bring the cost to attend like sub 15k

so im kinda pissed at umich rn

[neat pawn]

oh that’s crazy what

[proud peak]

yeah especially when i just talked with someone out of state who makes more than me (although everyone's family situation is different) and their cost to attend was like half of mine

like....

[median plume]

Before the scholarship it was 42k

Scholarship wasn't aid based

So just aid was still super expensive 💀

[proud peak]

yeah of course, and i am not discounting you in any way, but as an in-state student, the state-funded school should be pledged to help out its instate students before oos

[median plume]

Oh yeah ofc just clarifying. You should've gotten way more aid bruh

[proud peak]

thanks for letting me know im not crazy 🤣

[fast galleon]

They know ur instate right?

had someone I know not realize they were viewed as oos for a state school until they got their aid back

[proud peak]

yep, on the estimated aid thing it says instate and it has the instate tution too

am probably going to call finaid dept this week to see if fafsa info changes anything

[fast galleon]

wait the oos person estimate has half the instate cost?

[proud peak]

idk if they got fafsa yet

[proud peak]

currently pretty muh

they say 17k/yr and im currently at 35k/yr

[fast galleon]

wow that’s insane

[proud peak]

BUT

[fast galleon]

definitely somethin messed up there

[proud peak]

i do have a 10k/yr scholarship which brings down to 25k/yr so it is really my bad for not mentioning that

but that is a merit based scholarship

[fast galleon]

yeah

[proud peak]

so should not affect finaid at all

[fast galleon]

is your aid met based on your sai?

[proud peak]

well my sai is like over the total cost at UM, but according to their "Go Blue Gaurantee" for in state students, i should be receiving a lot of aid

[fast galleon]

oh what-

[proud peak]

idk why the SAI is so high because at every school i am accepted at i qualify for aid

[fast galleon]

did your fafsa process?

[proud peak]

on the fsa website it says so

idk if that means um ahs it

[fast galleon]

you should check how much your sai is on there and calculate yourself

Umich uses css to calculate

until they get fafsa info to put out real aid packages

iirc

I’m guessing this since unc does a similar thing

[proud peak]

yeah that is waht i assumed

[fast galleon]

but yeah log onto fsa website and check what it says for sai

[proud peak]

k then what do i do with that

[fast galleon]

Basically take the COA from umich website

and subtract the sai number from it

and that’s how much need you have

usually the college will try to fulfill some of it through work study and unsubsidized loans

but the rest will come from the college itself

[proud peak]

well yeah but at some schools (like Dartmouth) I would pretty much attend for free, despite what my SAI says

[fast galleon]

hm that’s interesting

I’d assume umich had the same info

[proud peak]

idk where to find my sai on fsa

[fast galleon]

Let me check

[proud peak]

oh i found it

[fast galleon]

alr

[proud peak]

yeah the total COA - SAI for me is 1666 💀

[fast galleon]

yeah thats something to call umich about for sure then

since 35k is basically full pay

[proud peak]

but every school calculates aid differently; cuz like i said somewhere like Dartmouth my COA - SAI would be like 51,000 but I would receive more like 80,000 in aid

[fast galleon]

and the 10k you got isn’t based off financials

[proud peak]

im mostly basing the need i should receive off of their go blue guarantee

[fast galleon]

yeah based on your sai id expect it to be close to free

to go to umich

[fast galleon]

but this sai is really far off

[proud peak]

yeah i mean i would expect it to be at least like 15k or less

[fast galleon]

like you’d know if your sai was 51k

Maybe it’s a typo or something

since they did give you the right amount of aid

[proud peak]

im not following you

wdym

[fast galleon]

I meant for Dartmouth

sorry

umich is still something you should try calling them about

I was just trying to find a reason for why your Dartmouth sai would be 51k

[proud peak]

well I mean my Cost of Attendance (~86k) subtracted my Student Aid Indext (34974)

which is typically what is used to calculate your "required need"

[radiant hawk]

Guys could you please give me some advice if you have some time? Would be much appreciated #1223711552859930624

[hardy lichen]

Here!

Can you add me as well?

[livid bolt]

Do they really accept less than 100 students off the waitlist? I feel like this number is just incredibly low

[spare hollow]

last year it was around 1000

depends on yield

[placid ruin]

Is your merit scholarship from the university or an outside source?

[velvet prairie]

hey guys i hav a question, why am i being asked for financial statements for I-20 from U-M flint even though i didn't confirm going there

like i didn't even get a button to confirm admissions, they simply addmitted me and started sending visa stuffs

bruh i even got student election email from u-m flint in my u-mich email

[proud peak]

From the University; it is a merit-based scholarship only for residents of the UP pursuing a degree in the College of Engineering

[placid ruin]

Oh cool!

Congrats

[proud peak]

Thanks:)

[placid ruin]

Did you apply for it?

[proud peak]

Nope, was awarded it a few weeks after EA advance selection CSE

I was trying to see if there are any scholarships @ UM to apply for but it seems most are automatic consideration

[placid ruin]

Can you send me a link to a list of them

I applied RD, but am still curious which ones I might be considered for

[radiant hawk]

Can you send pls!

[unique onyx]

got u

[worldly willow]

Isnt 1k a lot

[unique onyx]

yes

[spare hollow]

yea but a lot of people got waitlisted

i think it was like 20k or somn

[crystal trout]

yall im so lost about the loci for this school 😭

[slim spade]

is there a discord for '28 students?

does someone have an invite?

[worldly willow]

20k waitlisted or 20k accepted the wl

[pallid epoch]

If I wrote a loci for deferred should I still write one for waitlist

And do I email it to them

[unique onyx]

yes!

i'll dm you

[spare hollow]

20k waitlisted and 1k accepted

around

they have this on their faqs

[worldly willow]

20k waitlisted or 20k accept the waitlist

I’m not asking abt ppl accepted from@the waitlist

[spare hollow]

20k that accepted the waitlist

[worldly willow]

Damn

[spare hollow]

look at the faqs

also the rate varys wildly

like last yesr it was 5%

the two years before was like 0.5%

and year before that was 13%

i think

[worldly willow]

Well i didnt get wl i was just curious

Why does it sway so much

@spare hollow

[spare hollow]

no idea

[spare basalt]

what 💀 77/15076 were accepted off the waitlist

not 1k

its on their common data set

[vague zenith]

Could I have the inv as well?

[unique onyx]

yes

[spare hollow]

thats 2022

2023 it was 983/18575

[spare basalt]

where is that at?

[spare hollow]

https://admissions.umich.edu/apply/first-year-applicants/selection-process/waitlisted-applicants-faq

faq

[spare basalt]

damn what is this difference in waitlist stats

77 to 983

[spare hollow]

ik 😭

its unpredictable

[spare basalt]

thats so unpredictable 😭 yeah

mayhbe the low numbers were bc of covid??

[spare hollow]

yea maybe

[dim crag]

so we can assume about 1k students get off the waitlist??

[wet imp]

No

It completely depends on the year

[livid meteor]

is there a loci form for waitlist

[crystal trout]

Nope

They don’t take locis according to their FAQ

[silver herald]

gang is there an admitted students ig chat

[unique onyx]

for umich no 😔

thre is a discord

though it's heavily populated by '27 and below rn LOL like half and half between them and '28

[silver herald]

damn really

i thought all schools had IG GCs

maybe you're just not in jkjk

[silver herald]

oh💀💀💀

[unique onyx]

this may be true 💀

[silver herald]

im asking for a friend

who also thinks there's probably a gc and he's not in it 💀

[unique onyx]

oh help 😭

maybe not 💀

someone had to tell me to make the discord LOL

we're late asf

[silver herald]

😭😭😭😭

[vocal nimbus]

which school better for premed in my name 🥸

[silver herald]

usc if cost is the same at all

[crystal trout]

USC prolly but it is expensive

[wet imp]

The cheapest

And most grade inflating one

[fleet smelt]

same Q

can deferred students still showcase continued interest if they are on the waitlist?

[velvet prairie]

anyone knows when ross comes out?

[wet imp]

April 12

Every Ross applicant will get a final decision

If they were admitted LSA

If you were waitlisted from LSA, you cant get into Ross as an incoming freshman

[dim crag]

Does umich take loci?

[marsh cradle]

doesn't seem like it

[worldly willow]

No

[marsh cradle]

if anyone's a umich math major

do you know if its possible to start out first year halfway through the honors sequence

so like 395

[worldly willow]

hi

does anyone know when umich will send financial aid

[proud peak]

most have guessed 1-2 weeks but idk how true that is, anyone know anything else?

[pulsar crater]

hm ay so

does anyone know when the waitlists come out

[placid ruin]

They are reliant on the amount of committed students, so after may 1st. My guess is that those admissions would be rolling after that.

[spare minnow]

Do my chances at Ross change if I commit to LSA or not before the Ross decision!? like will they see that I'm good with going to LSA and not admit to Ross or am I overthinking

[radiant hawk]

@spark rain can you make the ann arbor roads better

[spark rain]

let me get there first

and then ill try

but trust me ive probably seen worse

living in a developing country

[radiant hawk]

oh yeah def

[unique onyx]

Ur not even coming why does it matter 😒

[worldly pivot]

trying to make himself less of a traitor

[unique onyx]

sigh

[radiant hawk]

im making things better for YOU

[unique onyx]

AW

OK NVM

ur too nice 😭

[ancient mesa]

CS Advance selection result just dropped for me

[untold eagle]

anyone know how i can get off this waitlist

[trim mango]

^^

[lean shale]

at the admitted students day thing, they said they were going to try to send final aid offers to people who have submitted all the necessary documents by mid-late April

[unique onyx]

they also said they'd send out LSA autoapplied scholarships by april 15

[coarse ridge]

does Umich take a LOCI

[manic verge]

Nah

[manic verge]

Me too

I got in

[placid ruin]

Has anyone gotten a financial aid package yet?

[ancient mesa]

same but they only gave me 15k. I can not afford anywhere near 62k a year wtf

[ancient mesa]

I got an estimated aid one today

[placid ruin]

Ok me too, but not the final offer

[tired mantle]

Did they send it in an email?

Or on the portal?

[ancient mesa]

I got an email saying it was available and a link to view the offer

[spare basalt]

i didnt get in gg

[tired mantle]

Oh alr. Guess I’m still waiting then

[proud peak]

yeah i assume actual aid packages will be sent out within a few weeks

or at least the start of them rolling out

i was an EA applicant and my FAFSA now appears as received in the UM portal so I assume I should be getting some finaid info soon

[placid ruin]

In the estimate they sent me, they said they still hadn't recieved fafsa

In enrollment connect it says recieved tho

[proud peak]

yeah i think it just default says that because the estimate is based on CSS

[placid ruin]

The estimate was based on css, yeah

[proud peak]

yeah so I hope my actual aid (FAFSA) is better than the CSS estimate

because the estimate said zero finaid for me 😢

[placid ruin]

They typically are more generous in fafsa, but the umich grant will be based on CSS

[proud peak]

(although their go blue guarantee and other finaid resources brag about how 90% of people in my income class receive aid)

[placid ruin]

Receiving aid is different than receiving good aid

Unfortunately

[proud peak]

well aid of about 12k a year

which for in-state is substantial

and would help a lot

[placid ruin]

That is good

The estimate they gave me was about 16k

[placid ruin]

Which is the only reason I can afford going

[proud peak]

even though my income is on the higher end for qualifying for aid my parents are contributing zero to my education and so i needa cover it all

[placid ruin]

That will help you

[proud peak]

and so if they tell me im supposed to get x dollars i am gonna be a squeaky wheel until i get x dollars

[placid ruin]

The estimate should be fairly accurate

Fasfa should only help

[proud peak]

yeah i just hope i get the aid info sooner than later

dont want to push the enrollment deadline too much

[placid ruin]

I'm suprised they haven't extended the deadline

[proud peak]

yeah i know a few schools that have

[placid ruin]

Especially since no one has Financials yet

[proud peak]

it would also be nice for my WL schools :)

[worldly pivot]

when did ur fafsa get processed?

[proud peak]

idk on the fsa website i think i initially noticed it said processed like a week or two ago, UM Enrollment Connect updated to say the FAFSA was received like 2 days ago or so

[worldly pivot]

bruh mines was processed 2 weeks ago too but umich ain't receive it yet 😭

hoping it's a SAI correction issue

new fafsa sucks

[proud peak]

yeah it has been a rocky road

[proud peak]

hopefully

[latent fox]

hey ppl, is there a contract to sign when you are committing to umich

cuz im wondering if there are anything else to sign/submit besides paying for the enrollment deposit

im really afraid my offer will get rescinded lol

[spark rain]

your councilor just needs to submit your final transcript. A checkbox appears when you enroll

also if you applied with test scores and you self reported you'll need to send in official test reports from either the SAT/ACT

like this

[latent fox]

wait sorry how do you enroll?

because im not seeing the checklist

[latent fox]

okay thank you so much!

[spark rain]

you get it after you pay

it will appear in the left section of the portal

where the enroll button currently is

[spark rain]

no worries!

[latent fox]

ohhhh i just saw that

thanks again!!

[spark rain]

you enrolled?

[latent fox]

i mean

i just saw the checklist

[spark rain]

oh congrats then

[lean shale]

if all new admits were automatically considered for scholarships, why did they still provide the option to apply? were the need-based scholarships automatic and the merit ones required an application or something?

[median plume]

I know definitely one of the auto considered scholarships was merit

[empty violet]

Does Michigan take LOCI

[fluid solar]

i don't think they take anything

[empty violet]

Oh alr

[trim mango]

aw dang

does anyone know if im able to send an additional LOR

[manic verge]

no sadly

[pulsar crater]

now? prob not

[unique onyx]

idts

[fluid solar]

Daily reminder to please withdraw your offer if you're not committing 🙏

[pulsar crater]

Daily reminder to please withdraw your offer if you're not committing 🙏

[unique onyx]

wishing yall luck 🙏🏻

[spark rain]

No waitlist activity will take place before may 1st

So everyone would have decided by then

[latent fox]

does anyone know why umich prevents you from dual majoring in cs and ds?

The website said this (I somehow can't attach a screenshot)
The following MDDP combinations are not allowed:

CS-Eng with DS-LSA
DS-Eng with CS-LSA

[shadow basin]

I think it’s because they have lots of similar classes

I was confused about the same thing as well

[latent fox]

ohhhh i see i see

thanks

[tribal pelican]

did ross come out yet for anyone else.. i still havent gotten my results

[silver herald]

i think they said april 12th?

[ancient mesa]

Did anyone get a notification that they received a engineering scholarship today

[shadow basin]

Did you

I got it way back but that’s because I applied early action

[ancient mesa]

Yes

[shadow basin]

Ooo how much

Congratulations

[ancient mesa]

20k/yr OOS, you?

[shadow basin]

25k/year I’m also oos

[ancient mesa]

nice congrats

[shadow basin]

Thanks!

[trim mango]

some schools have movement before may 1 but maybe not michigan idk

also this yr could be wayyyy later cuz of fafsa

[vague folio]

anyone get a financial aid offer based on fafsa and not just css

[unique onyx]

not yet

[placid ruin]

I dont know if they'll give out a real offer until after commitment

[spark rain]

Usually all the movement starts after the deadline to enroll

For UMich its may 1st

But for other universities like Rutgers they’ve moved it back to June 1st

And so on

[tribal pelican]

is anyone visiting umich

on campus day

[vague zenith]

I am on Friday

[crystal trout]

Which works cuz I got waitlisted UMich and accepted Rutgers so hopefully waitlist stuff comes out before that so I don’t waste commitment money 😭

[spark rain]

damn good luck to you man

[crystal trout]

Ty 😭

[trim mango]

omg sameeeeee

[neat pawn]

has anyone gotten lsa scholarships

[lean shale]

Anyone know if trying to negotiate financial aid with UMich would be successful? I got nothing from them in aid, but other schools have given me up to $8000 a year. It's not an absolute necessity, but I just want to lighten the load on my parents as much as possible and if I don't get a scholarship (which I don't think I will) then it would be great to lower the cost of attending through other means

Also when can I become an RA? They have guarenteed housing, right? Is the housing cost removed for UMich RAs?

[worldly pivot]

soph year i believe

and yes, no housing cost

[lean shale]

amazing. How competitive is it to become an RA?

[proud peak]

I too wonder this... I think I am either going to email or call finaid dept tmr to see what is going on

[lean shale]

if you do, let me know how it goes please

[shadow basin]

Have you already gotten your financial aid offer?

[lean shale]

yeah

[shadow basin]

Oh how’d u get it

Like was it email?

I only got the estimated one

[lean shale]

oh no, I mean I have the estimated, but I don't expect the real one to be much different, neither do my parents

[shadow basin]

Oh okay

[shadow basin]

If you want to appeal, you can give it a try by calling them or emailing the financial aid department

I was thinking of doing the same but after I get the official cost

[tribal pelican]

doesnt urt to try

hurt^

[proud peak]

yeah i was considering waiting but every person i asked (scholarship/college admissions counselor @ my school included) said to call asap instead of waiting

idk

will probably just shoot an email and see if i get a response, they are usually pretty slow to respond via email

[shadow basin]

Same

@proud peak I’ve heard that most unis reject appeals unless there’s a big change in income

So I really dk how umich gonna respond😭

[worldly pivot]

Umich typically reject appeals too

[worldly pivot]

Erm prob a bit competitive after all the no housing cost can be pretty appealing

[manic verge]

Is getting umich phd admission from msu easy?

[fluid solar]

how hard is it to get off the waitlist?

i'm trying not to be delusional

[neat pawn]

btw i’ve been emailing them and they responded today saying to be transparent they won’t have appeal decisions until after may 1st☹️

[proud peak]

yeah, I suppose I could just wait till they come out, but my finaid estimate showed no aid when according to all their resources I should be getting like 10-13k

so i wanted to see if this discrepancy would likely be cleared, and possibly show intent to commit if i receive good aid

[neat pawn]

i’m so mad they aren’t extending the commitment deadline i wanna go so bad but like😭

[proud peak]

my counselor says sometimes they give you a little extra aid if they know it means you will attend, idk how true that is but that is what she said

[proud peak]

ikr, im pretty sure UMich Dearborn extended their deadline 💀💀💀

[neat pawn]

have u gotten offers from other schools? my estimated mich grant was like 5k a year💀💀 but i already got one for another school that said 10k so i emailed them that

[proud peak]

im in-state even but it just is not fiscally responsible to commit to a school before knowing the coa

[proud peak]

nah, i barely applied anywhere

tbh dartmouth was my dream and I got WL'd and tbh UM was a back-up but now that I have looked more into it, I am so happy I applied

I wasn't really even considering of attending but my opportunities are IMMENSE at UM

[neat pawn]

real i’m dying out of state but im waiting for like a 25k scholarship decision rn 😭😭

[proud peak]

yeah cuz even for in-state my coa is like 25k, but that is still 100k; i know oos is way more but that is still a lot of money

[neat pawn]

real i applied bc it’s another reach school but considering it’s in state for u it’s such a good opportunity

[proud peak]

if i can get that as low as possible that would be nice

[proud peak]

yeah, I mean I am completing 76 CC credits by this senior year of mine and like 50 of those transfer

a little more even I believe

so I will be able to do their SUGS (accelerated masters, typically 4+1) in pretty much 4 years from what it seems

of course need to verify everything but I can, in theory, finish my UG coursework in 5 semesters

whether it is actually practical to do that is a different story

either way a Masters in 4 years is KILLER

[neat pawn]

that’s huge do yk if u need cc credit for sugs? i was interested but i didn’t even apply for coe so i was thinking of transferring out of lsa😭

[proud peak]

wdym?

you don't need any additional credit outside of what you would take at UM for SUGS if that is what you mean

[neat pawn]

ohhh sorry i misread what u sent you would be finishing it 4 years right?

[proud peak]

yah

typically I think you start taking your graduate classes in senior year

so then you have some done for the 5th year which is all grad courses

there is some sort of double counting or something idk

[neat pawn]

no yeah that’s crazy i got in for pharmacy and all my prereqs are like the same for the major i want in engineering so hopefully i could do the cross campus transfer next year 😭😭

sugs is so goated i would def go if i was you

but yeah it’s so expensive😭

[proud peak]

oh yeah, especially for oos 💀

😬

that is a lot

[neat pawn]

shhhh🤫🤫

[proud peak]

like even this is a lot, but I am avoiding 1 year of UG so it isnt as bad

yknow typically it is 4yrs UG and 2 G so even doing the SUGS save 1 year of G, my thing will save a year of UG and G

[neat pawn]

damn i should’ve done dual enrollment instead of ib😭😭😭

[proud peak]

😂 my school only offers 2 AP classes

but then they got this sweet ass deal with our local CC

typically it is a 5th year program where you enroll in HS for a technical 5th year, but you take all CC classes and get a free AA because all DE classes are paid for '

and you are still considered a FY because you are technically taking CC classes during HS still, not after

you dont technically graduate HS till after the 5th year of all CC classes

[neat pawn]

wow that’s amazing the only credit i could get from all my classes is like intro bio💀💀💀💀💀

[proud peak]

anyways I am doing that program but finishing it in senior year

oof yeah

i dont like bio 😢

but I love ecology

make sense of that 🤣

[neat pawn]

ooh i’m trying to switch into biomedical engineering 😭😭😭😭

[proud peak]

that is dope

I was initially wanting to dual major @ UM, but since I thought about doing the SUGS in 4 years I completely dropeed the idea of dual major

so much more advantageous

unless maybe if the dual major was like a BBA

idk I still think a masters has more weight to it

[placid ruin]

Yes

[neat pawn]

oh 😭😭😭 damn do you think my chances are over lmao

kesslers specifically*

[placid ruin]

They're still rolling out

I applied rd and got one yesterday

But my friend who went ea got one a couple days after they were accepted

And then another one later

So I think they're rolling

No clue if kesslers is over

[neat pawn]

were you guys in state or oos

[placid ruin]

In state

[shadow basin]

Wdym?

They got a scholarship then got another one?

[placid ruin]

Apparently, yeah

[shadow basin]

Wha

Is this an in state thing

[placid ruin]

Idk

[untold eagle]

need to get off this waitlist

😭

[ashen merlin]

They emailed?

[neat pawn]

ohh it’s so rough being out of state😭

[fluid solar]

same

even though i won't get in ross

i still want to be stuck in LSA 🙏

[steep wren]

for those who got in how many ppl from ur hs got in mich cs as well lol

[median plume]

None

[lean drum]

oos tuition is insane lol

does anyone have scholarships that are still open for umich?

[steep wren]

how much is oss

oos

[lean shale]

too dang much

like 76k a year

[manic verge]

It's higher than UCs and equal privates

[fluid solar]

damn

(i still want to go)

are they generous with aid?

[wet imp]

76k

They give essentially 0 aid

[ashen merlin]

Ima fly in and try to lower tuition

[proud peak]

3 including me in a class of 63; everyone who applied to CS got it; in-state, super rural area in the Upper Peninsula

[proud peak]

depends on your SAI, but if you are OOS you likely will not get much if any

although if you do have a low SAI you can get quite a bit, but it will still be very costly compared to any in-state school

[steep wren]

how hard is it getting in cs in state btw?

its rlly easy to get in mich overall as in state right

[steep wren]

76k after housing and all that crap?

[proud peak]

well there are currently ~50k enrolled students between ug and grad, and a little over 50% of those students are in-state

so yeah, it is easier to get into umich in-state than oos

although I wouldn't say it is "really easy," if you aren't academically strong, they won't just let you in

I have a friend who has quite a bit of business experience but didn't really try hard in school and was deferred and then rejected for UM (not even Ross, he just wasnt accepted to UM)

[steep wren]

now that cs is restricted is it much harder to get cs as in state?

im just curious

[proud peak]

well since there is a limited amount of CS spots in general, yes

it is harder for anyone who wants to do CS

[steep wren]

ah i see

[steep wren]

yeah reasonable

ill likely commit to mich cs too

[proud peak]

although, proportionally, it is just as "easy" as getting accepted in-state

[steep wren]

ur already committed right

[proud peak]

yeah I haven't committed yet, but it is the most likely option for me right now

[steep wren]

what are u choosing between?

[proud peak]

i also want to see my finaid package before committing

[steep wren]

oh yeah how do u see ur package lol do u email them

[proud peak]

well they are supposed to send out official packages on the 15th

[shadow basin]

Did they say that

[proud peak]

someone told me that they emailed finaid dept and that is what they said

i havent seen the email, that is only what this person said

[shadow basin]

Damn I didn’t know that thanks for telling

[shadow basin]

Ah okay

[proud peak]

i was going to send out an email today

was wanting to last thursday but have been stupid busy

[shadow basin]

Yeah u need to get your financial situation sorted out

For umich

[proud peak]

i havent committed because even though they are the best option for me, i cant consider it fiscally responsible to committ without knowing coa

[proud peak]

yep

K, just sent off the email

will keep yall updated (on the date)

[velvet prairie]

is ross BBA today?

[warm lava]

hi, i did the math and i’m coming in w 37 credits and i’m pretty sure that i can graduate in 3 years if i take an adequate/doable amt of classes each semester. how and when do you find out if you’re officially “sophomore standing” or not? also are lsa scholarships still coming out or have most of them already been given? i’m out of state if that makes a difference. thanks!

[fluid solar]

good luck for ross~~~

(i'm definitely gonna get off the waitlist and then transfer in ross ❤️ )

[proud peak]

not sure about your questions, but have you considered attempting to do a SUGS program in 4 years?

just making you aware that is an option (possibly)

[placid ruin]

What is a SUGS program?

[proud peak]

I am coming in with about 50 credits and could logistically complete my UG coursework in 5 semesters and am planning on doing a SUGS (sequential undergraduate graduate studies) which is typically a 4+1 masters program

meaning I may be able to complete the SUGS in 4 instead of 5 years

[warm lava]

I thougjt that was engineering only

I’m lsa

[placid ruin]

I'm in a similar boat

[proud peak]

hmmmmmmmm

[warm lava]

Either way i’m pre med so i can’t do a combined masters :(

[proud peak]

if it is, then i didnt know about that

many schools have 4+1 programs so i assumed it was just for lsa and eng

but yeah it looks like it is eng only

[placid ruin]

Its engineering only

Yeah

[warm lava]

ok ok

[proud peak]

damn

good for me ig 🤣

[warm lava]

Ty for making me aware of that tho! i knwo there’s the preferred admission thing too which is cool but sadly they don’t apply to me

[worldly pivot]

wait who said sugs is for eng only???

Current University of Michigan undergraduate students studying Computer Science-LSA or Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Data Science (Eng or LSA), or a minor in Computer Science are eligible to apply to the CSE Sequential Undergraduate/Graduate Studies (SUGS) program.

LSA CS and DS qualify

[proud peak]

well sugs was instated for BSE -> MSE and since CS ands DS are offered in both eng and LSA, I assume they extended the program to LSA students in cs and ds

it is as good as eng only for everything except cs/ds

[worldly pivot]

true ig 😂

[proud peak]

im not sure why the program isnt extended to more degrees though

[sharp obsidian]

Did anyone hear back from the LSA international scholarship

[neat pawn]

has anyone heard back from kesslers😭😭😭

[neat pawn]

when i emailed they said all scholarships by the 15th except for a couple programs and aid mid to late april but im going to assume 15th since that’s what i got in an email before

[unique onyx]

my potential roommate heard back

[neat pawn]

oh wow

[sullen acorn]

Bwah

[tribal pelican]

GOT INTO ROSS

RAHH

probably won’t commit tho- idk let’s c when financial aid comes out

[tribal pelican]

pls ignore me being cringe😞

[unique onyx]

conrgatstt::3

[tribal pelican]

thank u! congrats on ur commitment <3

[wet imp]

Where else are u considering?

[manic verge]

how’d it go

[silver herald]

congrats!!

[velvet prairie]

Got Ross too, prob gonna commit :>

[tribal pelican]

a bunch of other schools 😭 just bc my aid hasn’t come out yet

[ashen merlin]

Does anyone know if you can transfer to ross while in umich

[unique onyx]

yes u can

https://michiganross.umich.edu/undergraduate/bba/admissions/UM-applicants

[steep wren]

is transferring to ross harder than double majoring in ross

[neat pawn]

sorry do yk if she’s out of state or in state

[unique onyx]

out of state

[unique onyx]

uhhhh

[steep wren]

ah i see thanks

[worldly pivot]

bro really posted a pic of carlo's insight here 💀😂

[unique onyx]

LMFAO

[tired mantle]

Has anyone not received their fin aid offer yet?

Like is there a way to check it that I’m unaware of? Because it thought it was just an email.

[proud peak]

yes

but there was an estimate sent out, just not the official thing yet

afaik

[tribal pelican]

i havent!

not even an estimate..

[tired mantle]

I haven’t gotten an estimate either LMAOAOAO

[proud peak]

hmmmm that is odd

well some have been saying official aid packages come out tmr

[proud peak]

also there is a spot to access your estimate from Wolverine Access if you wanted to check to see if you do have an estimate on file and just werent emailed for some reason

with a guest or "friend" account that is

https://wolverineaccess.umich.edu/ > New and Prospective Student Business > New&Prospective Student Center > View Financial Aid Document Status > 2025 > Award Summary (sub-tab at the top within the "Financial Aid" tab)

That shows the exact same information the emailed estimate shows

Perhaps you do have an estimate and weren't emailed the webpage (the emailed estimate has a much fancier looking webpage but the data displayed is identical)

[tired mantle]

It just says $0 💀

My only concern is that I was admitted for Urban Technology, which starts Winter 2025.

But like. I still need my aid before then 💀

[proud peak]

well either they just never did an estimate or according to the estimate you are receiving 0. if it is the latter, i wouldnt worry too much about it because my estimate says 0 for need based when according to all resources online i should be receiving like 13k in need based (i am in state though, so take that into account)

[proud peak]

yeah if your enrollment semester is later than F24, you may not receive it as early as others, but like i said - apparently official aid packages should start to be sent out tomorrow

[crude marsh]

when do waitlists start coming out

[pulsar crater]

after 5/1

[warm lava]

i haven’t even gotten the estimate either and they said it’s on my portal and it’s not

[shadow basin]

You got the email?

[warm lava]

no

I meant like reps i’ve spoken to in person said it was sent alr

and it’s just not there on my portal

[silver herald]

I think estimates were only sent for ea?

[warm lava]

i applied ea. all my financial aid stuff was sent on time/early, they marked on my portal that they received both css and fafsa. can someone send a ss of where it’s supposed to be and on which portal? i checked the admission portal/enrollment connect and it’s not there, and i checked wolverine access and it’s also not there

[vague zenith]

Make sure you go on wolverine access>financial aid info for students using a friend account>prospective student portal>view financial aid offers (tiny text)

[shadow basin]

It's not supposed to be on the portal

Like how i got it was through an email

And a link at the very bottom

[shadow basin]

Didn't know this was a thing

[warm lava]

thanks y’all, I ended up finding it today?? but they never sent me an email at all 😭😭

[silver herald]

a2c to the rescue!

[shadow basin]

How were u able to log in to wolverine access

[vague zenith]

Make a friend account

There's instructions online

[neat pawn]

someone ping me if you get official aid notice/scholarships today

‼️

[proud peak]

same

[brave totem]

Are there any substantial chances that I can get accepted from the waitlisted pool?

[warm lava]

Do they let you know if you didn’t win any scholarships or is it just if you don’t get anything you assume you got nothing

[neat pawn]

uga sent out an email to say they’ve finished sending out all scholarships so i’m thinking they’ll do something similar

[warm lava]

ok tysm i hope they do the same lol

[unique onyx]

real 😫

[livid bolt]

I feel like hella ppl got waitlisted so prolly a very slim chance this yr

Literally all of my friends were wait waitlisted or accepted to umich (2 a 7 wl)

[tired mantle]

My offer still hasn’t shown up. It still says that I don’t have any aid

[vague folio]

anyone’s fafsa show up as received on enrollment connect, but not showing up on wolverine access?

[unique onyx]

yup

[vague folio]

same, i’m assuming your estimated offer is only based on css and not fafsa?

[shadow basin]

Everyone's like that

[vague folio]

any idea of when updated aid offers will be released?

[shadow basin]

@proud peak dyu know😭

[proud peak]

I was told this in an email from UM:
"Due to the delay with FAFSA, universities have been delayed with official packaging.
Unfortunately if it goes past May 1st, you will have to go off of your estimated aid notice but the lateness shouldn’t bar you from receiving maximum aid."

So they are pretty much saying if you don't get your estimate by May 1st, oh well, just commit already!

you need to know what it will cost? fuck you!

(you can request a 2-week extension, although they don't like to tell you that)

[vague folio]

thanks! department of education really screwed everyone over this year

[proud peak]

yeah

[neat pawn]

i’m stressing sm about kesslers ahhh

[frosty yew]

mog

[crystal trout]

NICEEE

[velvet prairie]

anyone know how do you double major ross + another school?

like whats the procedure

[pulsar crater]

how are you still a prefrosh

or...are you actually planning on graduating in 3 yrs

[frosty yew]

bud

I just don’t want to get the college role

I like my lavender

[pulsar crater]

ohh

[frosty yew]

like

Look at this guys color

@worldly pivot

Piss peach color

[worldly pivot]

piss peach is crazy

it's not even bad although lavender is indeed better

[pulsar crater]

I think yellow is better

the Umich yellow

[worldly pivot]

it's maize not yellow 😭

[pulsar crater]

alright, the UMich Maize

I think that looks better than both pink and lavender

[worldly pivot]

nah purple the best color

[frosty yew]

get out

no wonder ur a ucsb kid

can’t tell maize from yellow

smh

[pulsar crater]

isn't maize a kind of yellow tho

are you so unhinged you are gonna tell me "no"

[frosty yew]

bud.

no

are you going to say UCs are yellow and blue and thus equivalent to umich since it’s blue and “yellow”

we are DIFFERENT

[pulsar crater]

I don't care what you say, umich is yellow and blue

what u saying is like saying "Oh this is not a car, its a lamborghini"

[frosty yew]

they should reject u for this heinous crime

oh wait app season is over

[pulsar crater]

umich waitlisted me so...

[frosty yew]

same thing

[pulsar crater]

lmao 💀

[silver herald]

thats so fucked up 😭

[silver herald]

i agree with this

among the UC's themselves there are variations

like berkeley is cool and regal and our colors are "berkeley blue" (like navy blue) and "california gold" and they're so pretty and then you have ucla with their basic ass primary color blue and yellow

[proud peak]

expected when you call maize = yellow

smh

[pulsar crater]

Lmao 😭

[terse parcel]

did anyone hear back about the scholarships here?

[shadow basin]

Heard that lsa scholarships are rolling out

Ik someone who got it a few hours ago

[terse parcel]

alright thanks a lot

[median plume]

I'm wearing a UMich engineering shirt and so many people have come up to talk to me 🥲

[neat pawn]

oh really so they weren’t all out yesterday

[proud peak]

same

or no one has talked to me but i am also wearing my umich eng shirt today lmao

[worldly pivot]

prob bc ur instate 😭

[proud peak]

yeah pretty much

oh my guitar teacher asked me about it

he is one of those kinda pretentious, educated people

he is cool

[neat pawn]

anyone know anything about lead scholars

[median plume]

I just withdrew my application

It hurt

[worldly pivot]

good luck at the columbia!!!

[neat pawn]

im so scared i wanna go so bad but the way aid offers don’t come out until like commitment day is crazyyy

[median plume]

Thanks!

[neat pawn]

if i end up not going i’ll be so devastated like my in state options are so bad 😭

[median plume]

Manifesting for you

Are you engineering?

[neat pawn]

yas

[median plume]

I just rejected the scholarship they offered me

[neat pawn]

i’m kinda worried bc a lot of people alr got the automatic scholarships

[median plume]

So maybe you'll get it 👀

[neat pawn]

omg manifest 😇😇

[steep wren]

oh we dont find out abt merit based scholarship until commitment day?

[median plume]

I think it depends. I got mine ~1 month ago. Applies EA tho

[unique onyx]

all good bro

have a great time at columbia 🙏🏻

congratulations and best of luck

[median plume]

Thanks you too 🙏

[hardy lichen]

you mean the one for international students?

[velvet prairie]

what is a good MLC/Theme Community for Ross?

[vague folio]

todays the first day to be able to ask for an enrollment deposit extension

[warm lava]

hey i have question about the HSSP MLC. which one of these is correct.
“ If two first-years wish to live with each other, they should request each other as roommates in case they do not get into the program. If a student is admitted to HSSP, they would be living with another HSSP student. HSSP students can room with the student they select as their roommate if the other student is also admitted to HSSP. This happens as part of your room selection process run by the UM Housing department website. “

and this elsewhere “Michigan Learning Community applications take precedence over roommate requests. If admitted to an MLC, successful applicants' roommate requests may not be considered. HSSP specifically does not honor roommate requests - it plays a big part in building our tight-knit community!” which one is correct? i got into the program, can i request a roommate if i meet someone or does it not work like that

[tribal pelican]

ross aid is ass

low income and i only got 20kish aid

sigh :c

[unique onyx]

i think if they're a part of HSSP you should be able to request. i think the second statement refers to general roommate requests, not HSSP specific

[neat pawn]

anyone got official aid/scholarships today ☹️☹️ i feel impending doom😄

[sullen acorn]

🙋 im starting a generational debt

[worldly pivot]

Let me give u a tip to give u a head start then

Email UMich and tell them u don’t need any aid and give them to others that need it more

[vague folio]

hope y’all have better luck

[ashen merlin]

They only released estimates

Are they counting that as the official aid

[neat pawn]

i got the same email

god

[neat pawn]

i think so

[shadow mist]

anyone know how i can check my financial aid package estimate for UMICH?

i couldnt find it anywhere

[shadow basin]

You’ll have to access wolverine access

https://finaid.umich.edu/tools-resources/using-wolverine-access?utm_campaign=admits&utm_medium=email&utm_source=ofa_wolv_access_2024

[shadow mist]

found it

thanks

65k is crazy

looks like im going to GT

[shadow basin]

How much is gt for u

[proud peak]

i got this too

like wtf

no one has their aid package yet wtf you mean
"Your request to have your Enrollment Deposit due date extended was considered but unfortunately, we are unable to extend your deadline date.

We have checked with Financial Aid and you have received your package. As the University has provided all of the information needed for you to make a decision, we are unable to further extend your deadline."

We have checked with Financial Aid and you have received your package
no i fucking didnt 🤣

[shadow mist]

19k

[shadow basin]

Instate?

[shadow mist]

yea

[tribal pelican]

got my aid it was ass

atp like

might give up on ross

[neat pawn]

god

decomitting unless a scholarship i’m waiting for pulls through like now😭😭

[rocky flint]

Hello I'm really hoping I'm in the right place got a bit confused with all the channels 😭
I'm currently a Junior in highschool.I grew up in Michigan and stayed there until 7th grade and am now currently residing in Saudi Arabia, I'm wanting to move back to the US for uni and the univercity im mostly looking at atm is U of M to pursure CS. I was wondering do you guys have any recommendations to increase my chances of getting in other than working on getting 1400 or above on SAT I have a few extracurriculars such as a part time job and some clubs I started in school.
(Sorry if this is not written the best I have trouble putting my thoughts together at times I'm open to answer any questions)

[tired mantle]

Nah the fact that USC gave me better aid is actually crazy.

[silver herald]

extracurriculars will matter more than your SAT, also if you're starting college apps soon then focus on essays my friend had mid ecs and mid stats but banger essays and got in ea

[tired mantle]

I forgot that I start winter semester

[rocky flint]

Gotcha thanks a bunch!

[proud peak]

essays are huge and just know demonstrated interest in cs doesnt guarantee you will be accepted, the converse of this is true too, just because you dont have a lot of experience in cs doesnt mean you wont get accepted cs

so if you dont have much cs experience that you may see on something like a resume dont worry about it because i know several people (albeit mostly instate, but a few oos) which had practically no "experience" in cs but got advance selection cs because they were really academically strong candidates

[neat pawn]

100% agree with smrithi i had genuinely the most mid application ever but put effort into essays

[rocky flint]

Gotcha does make sense
I do have a decent amount of knoldege when it comes to coding in python did participate in an olympiad too tho not sure if it helps much due to it being a more specific fiel in CS

[proud peak]

yeah things like that help your application to anywhere a lot: math olympiads and what not

but as the others have said, essays are huge

[rocky flint]

Ill definitely make sure to focus on essays!!

[frosty yew]

mewing

[vague zenith]

@neat pawn did you submit any supplementary info for the extension request?

[neat pawn]

yes on the website but originally i was denied, i had to call them and explain my situation

[vague zenith]

Oh ic

[neat pawn]

yeah and they also said in an email that’s it’s only because i submitted a financial aid appeal and those aren’t being reviewed until after may 1st

and i mentioned waiting for scholarships and like something that happened w my dads job and stuff but none of that matters apparently 😄😄😄

[vague zenith]

Oh LOL

Wtf

[vague zenith]

This makes no sense tho

Isnt the enrollenent deadline may 1st?

How can u submit an appeal after may 1st

[neat pawn]

i already submit an aid appeal but financial aid department isn’t reviewing appeals until after may 1st

[vague zenith]

Ohh aid appeal

I thought u meant extension

They're so fucking heartleas

Just extend the deadline

Every university is doing it

You're just gonna lower ur yields by acting like this

[proud peak]

yeah they denied my extension because they said having the estimate is good enough instead of seeing the actual aid package

[vague folio]

they didn’t even give me a reason

[steep wren]

hey current wolverines, how good is umich as placing undergrads in top grad programs? esp in the tech field like cs

how far away is north campus from central?

[velvet prairie]

mosher jordan good if ur engineer

[velvet prairie]

personally i wouldn't want to even think abt it

js try to stay away from it ;-;

[cold cypress]

yea

[proud peak]

im trying to get into baits just because that is the location i want but i am also gonna be on North for engineering classes

a lot of people will call me crazy but baits aint bad

but if you have all lsa classes then there is really no reason to want to be on north

i just like north better than central

but if you get assigned there go in with an open mind

a lot of people get assigned baits/bursley and go in with a closed mind and have a bad time

[cold cypress]

hmm ok

do u know if there a dining hall or gym nearby for either?

[cold cypress]

which do u guys recommend between baits/bursley? I'm majoring in lsa comp sci @proud peak @velvet prairie

[proud peak]

well i mean if you are on central i wouldnt necessarily aim for a north campus dorm but if you were to choose one i would choose baits

bursley has the dining hall but baits has better rooms

bursley rooms are tiny, baits has duo suites where two duos are connected with a private bathroom

some of them like a living room sort of thing

[velvet prairie]

bursley got 'em elevators and dining hall tho

i can't imagine myself walking outside the dorm in the snow of michigan at -5 C just to get food

[velvet prairie]

personally gonna go with bursley tho the suites in baits do seem better

but if ur doing comp sci perhaps consider some MLCs or theme community?

mrads maybe?

[crystal trout]

[dense crane]

[unique onyx]

[tribal pelican]

[crystal trout]

TYSM 😭

[fluid solar]

thanksss but i think if i get in i'll be in LSA undeclared

[tribal pelican]

good luck <3

[tribal pelican]

rutgers biz is p good!! they waitlisted me 💀 but somehow i got into other biz schools 😭😭

[crystal trout]

They were super tough this year. I’m in state like 10 min from the school and barely anyone got into RBS or even Rutgers New Brunswick at all. They’re really trying to rise up the ranks 😭😭

[tribal pelican]

i’m in state too.. did u apply to ross?? if so i hope u get off the waitlist :)

i’m about 1hr+ away?

[crystal trout]

I did but because Im waitlisted i cant go to Ross if admitted, only LSA. I'll have to try and transfer to Ross after my first year if I make it

Also tbh if you made it Ross then honestly rutgers was just yield protection for you fr

[sullen acorn]

is ross extremely competitive as well in its transfer process? I applied to LSA on premed track but am already considering business at ross now lol

[cold cypress]

LSA honors came out today

[golden hatch]

Got in for honors. Anyone know the impact of honors?

[unique onyx]

honors advising is the biggest pro for me. also honors housing if u aren't doing another MLC, honors classes, exclusive honors research/travel/etc schlarships, pre-med/pre-law advising, and special events

[thorny perch]

and put down that i would like to be apart of the college of pharmacy

[jagged bear]

[crystal trout]

At the earliest

But they go till end of June

[low fog]

Could start May 2

[fluid solar]

anyone know when LSA wl came out last year?

[crystal trout]

Looking through a bunch of Reddit posts from the last few years and it seems a lot of people who got in get it mid-late may, but others may get it latrr

[fluid solar]

🙏

[crystal trout]

Real

It’s fine imma just lock in for these AP exams and hopefully once they’re done, the decisions will be out

[fluid solar]

my aps and school finals will all be done by 5/8
