University of Michigan (UMich) (2025-2026)

[faint quest]

Yeah 100% it’s a good school

[inland crater]

what ab aid tho

[faint quest]

What’s that 😅

[frail bridge]

financial aid 😭😭😭

[inland crater]

i need basically full financial aid or else i aint going 😭

[faint quest]

Oh I got no aid yet 💀

Being in state helps but I am applying to a bunch of external scholarships

[molten monolith]

i’ve already withdrawn from everywhere just because i was scared they would somehow find out but the curiosity of my other apps is definitely nagging at me

[toxic narwhal]

[toxic narwhal]

[tender wren]

hey guys! is applying rd for ross as OOS even worth

how hard is it

[tender wren]

ABSOLUTE LEGEND

[alpine hawk]

im still confused so if i got deffered from umich ed does that mean decisions come out like when the ea ppl do or like rd

[lime cove]

i'm applying to umich engineering rd as an intl 😭 let's be delusional tgt twin we got this 💪

[tender wren]

Lets do this gang

[carmine summit]

im applying for engineering+ross

im x10 cooked

(intl btw)

[lime cove]

WE are in this tgt ig 😭

🫂

[carmine summit]

why am i so stupid

to select their new

[lime cove]

afaik tho ur hella cracked so

[carmine summit]

dual degree

im so cooked

[carmine summit]

im not

[lime cove]

i got flat-out rejected 🤑

[sonic birch]

It was always there btw they just decided to call it a separate program this cycle for some reason

They have it with lsa-ross too

[tender wren]

me too i got flat reject by ucji

uchi

[carmine summit]

oh ok

[sonic birch]

Like a quarter of ross is dual degree its not much more competitive than just applying to ross

[carmine summit]

but they take only 100 people in this thing

[sonic birch]

Sounds about right, ross only takes ~500

If you get rejected, you can still get into one of the two colleges tho

[carmine summit]

they explicitly mentioned on their website now

there is no fallback major unlike other programs like met and m&t

if we apply directly

oh wait wtf

they changed it to

when I applied it said they wouldn’t here

ig they were unsure

[left mason]

i always assumed they were separate

i am applying dual degree ross + SMTD

[sonic birch]

Yeah theyre separate for anything dual degree program, at least they were until now

Would be surprised if it changed suddenly

[full imp]

Yo guys

I submitted test optional application on common app but for some reason my official test scores show up on the applicant portal?? How??? Idek because I didn’t even self report these scores or officially send them

[cyan patio]

When will it come out

[marble warren]

Tomorrow

[cyan patio]

waiot r u lying because i was just about to submit an update

[marble warren]

Ofcourse I’m lying

[timid marlin]

did ur college counselor send them?

[drowsy tendon]

If it says test optional but they received your test scores they won't consider them.

[sand ivy]

The cube has been posted again

[covert quartz]

I have the craziest conspiracy: UMICH drops the Cube everytime they are done making decisions for a region. Maybe they drop the cube when they made decisions for the Northeast of USA, then again for internationals, and then again for West side of USA.

idk about deferred applicants

[gentle condor]

i fear the main umich instagram account probably has nothing to do with admissions 😭

[sand ivy]

This is more likely 😭

[covert quartz]

always a chance

[lime sundial]

Portal astrology ahh

[cyan patio]

Can I get into Ross w a 4.2 🤧

[prime wadi]

Yea

[lofty tusk]

If u have a 4.2 uw sure

https://tenor.com/view/missed-shot-basketball-lakers-gif-11423573

[cyan patio]

dont piss me off

[halcyon cobalt]

very scary

[cyan patio]

That wasn’t to be scary 🤧

[bright flower]

hey, im an international applicant from ireland and i’ve questions abt umich

i wanna apply somewhat to see if i get in or not but if i do get in i would consider going just depending on a few factors

ive never applied to a US college, only UK forms

i need to know about financial aid

and also what to actually apply for cuz i know in the us you have like majors which u need to declare but idk how that actually works

any help appreciated

[gentle condor]

you apply on commonapp.org

for financial aid i don't think you can do fafsa as an international but i think you can do the collegeboard css? the umich website will have more info on that

[merry niche]

Their funding comes primarily from taxes of the Michigan residents, so international students should not expect to receive financial aid.

[sand ivy]

Umich offers very limited financial aid (if any) to internationals

[clever river]

when does umich ea come out

[sand ivy]

Unknown

[shell veldt]

They apparently just dropped some?

[lofty tusk]

damn they actually did

not for me tho

[wicked knoll]

yeah they dropped

[gentle condor]

ea applicants or just postponed ed applicants?

[rigid cliff]

im a postponed ed and minees not out

[gentle condor]

nvm i saw the post on insta

theyre releasing in waves through january ig???

[lofty tusk]

same

[rigid cliff]

but my portal says im in EA

it says like dont worry

U-M has released an initial wave of Early Action decisions. If you haven’t received a decision yet, this is not a reflection of your pending decision. More decisions are on the way and will be shared by Jan. 30.

[wicked knoll]

mines released

not opening yet 😩

[rigid cliff]

brother

open

i believe for you my guy

[gentle condor]

what if you did 🥹

i believe in you

give us some hope

[rigid cliff]

much needed hope

[wicked knoll]

imma start crashing out in class 🙏

[gentle condor]

or cheering for joy!

[rigid cliff]

r u out of state jadyn?

[wicked knoll]

yea i got deferred from ed

[rigid cliff]

hmm weird then ig it truly is fully random

do u mind if i ask what state

[surreal sail]

Nothing sent yet

[rigid cliff]

cuz my friends in my state all didnt get it yet

[surreal sail]

U-M has released an initial wave of Early Action decisions. If you haven’t received a decision yet, this is not a reflection of your pending decision. More decisions are on the way and will be shared by Jan. 30.

[lofty tusk]

i still didn't submit eci is that why my decision is not out

[rigid cliff]

i also didnt submit

[rigid cliff]

did u submit ECI form

[wicked knoll]

i was going to submit today 😭

[light meteor]

rip

[wicked knoll]

i had my draft done too

[granite radish]

Why did I just get my decision?? Is it out??

[rigid cliff]

yes

some EA decisions

[wicked knoll]

did you open yours

[toxic narwhal]

mines released too

idk if I want to check it or not

[granite radish]

I got into ross!

[wicked knoll]

holy shit

congrats

[rigid cliff]

out of 10 friends who EA, none of the results came out we r all OOS new jersey

[remote sail]

Didnt come out yet

Ohio

[gentle condor]

im nj too and nada

i wonder how often they'll be doing drops?

[remote sail]

I think they only released in state and ed deferred applicants

Based off of what ive been hearing

[signal stratus]

Im EA OOS CoE and got it

[remote sail]

Where?

[thorny tartan]

My son ED, got deferred, and just got in!!!

[signal stratus]

Florida - applied in as CS

[remote sail]

Hm i guess there really isn’t a pattern here then

[thorny tartan]

OOS

[gentle condor]

did they email yall first?

[signal stratus]

yea

[remote sail]

Yeah im wondering how often they’ll be dropping the decisions

[gentle condor]

ok so i dont need to keep checking ty

[signal stratus]

on instagram they said throughout the rest of Jan till the 30th

[remote sail]

Oh darn

[gentle condor]

my guess would be weekly but thats just based on vibes

no basis behind that

[signal stratus]

what an odd time to release them

[remote sail]

Where does it say throughout?

[prime wadi]

A wave of EA came out

[rigid cliff]

same weekly on mondays at 3pm

[signal stratus]

like by Jan 30, so i assumed if they're doing it in multiple rounds "throughout"

[wicked knoll]

congrats to him!

[rigid cliff]

id assume every monday

guys this is making me nervous

[rain oriole]

Did any postponed ed applicants get in?

[rigid cliff]

it seems like a lot of ED deferrals are getting in rn

and mines not out

[wicked knoll]

^^

[remote sail]

So is it every week on a monday?

[rain oriole]

Oops

Congrats

[gentle condor]

we will find out next monday ig

[rain oriole]

Same

[gentle condor]

by*

[remote sail]

Do yall think it will be weekly waves?

What an odd time to release?

Jan 5th

[signal stratus]

I wonder how they determine the waves as well

probably astrology BS but seems weird. did they do something like this last year?

[rigid cliff]

no last yr was all EA on the same day oos and in state

i think this is bc of deferrals from ED

[granite radish]

I’m oos and I didn’t ED for those wondering

[rigid cliff]

they have so many EA now so they r separating into waves

[remote sail]

Do u think it’s bc of record num of apps 😭

[rain oriole]

Was this mainly in state ED deferrals or out of state

[rigid cliff]

lowkey can we make a poll like "did ur decision come out today, if so, were you EA, ED, in state, out of state" like that

[remote sail]

Some oos kids got in too

All the ED deferred kids got their decisions back today it seems

[rain oriole]

Not me

[rigid cliff]

im ed deferred mines not out

[remote sail]

Oh what

[rigid cliff]

and ik others who didnt

[remote sail]

I guess this really is random then

[rigid cliff]

it seems fully random

have we seen any rejections/deferrals today?

or only acceptance

[rain oriole]

Ru in state

[rigid cliff]

nah oos

[rain oriole]

Me too

[remote sail]

When did yall get the decisions email

[signal stratus]

3:23 EST

[remote sail]

Bruh that’s like

So random

[signal stratus]

I thought they emailed me to say they were deleting my app lol because i had no clue it came out this early

[remote sail]

Wth

[granite radish]

2:23 CT

[rain oriole]

Are all the decisions acceptances?

[remote sail]

Wait did everyone who received their decisions get in

[rigid cliff]

thats what im wondering

it seems like it, ive also only heard ross and coe get in

havent seen any lsa get decisions

[remote sail]

I applied to coe oos

Havent heard back

[rain oriole]

Same here

[gentle condor]

selection bias imo

theyve said the waves are no indication of ur decision

[remote sail]

Yeah prob is selection bias

[rigid cliff]

true but ive only heard acceptances, idk if i believe them

still insane how early they are releasing these tho, jan5 EA is unheard of

[gentle condor]

ppl who got rejected arent gonna go and broadcast to the world immediately

its a selection bias

[sand ivy]

Same

[gentle condor]

although i wouldn't be surprised IF this round had a higher acceptance rate, since we've seen mostly deferred ea applicants, who are on the stronger side of applicants

[modest gull]

i got lsa

crazy early

[remote sail]

@signal stratus what were ur stats like if you dont mind me asking

Chatgpt said it will most likely be multiple drops and not just two big waves

[sand ivy]

The decision wave is probably regional

If I were to guess

[signal stratus]

Which stats specifically?

[remote sail]

Like testing, gpa, honors etc

[sand ivy]

Dod you get acceptef?

[signal stratus]

they seemed sporadic, some OOS some IS

[signal stratus]

yea

[sand ivy]

Congrats

[remote sail]

Im trying to see if there is a correlation if anything

[sand ivy]

Mm nvm then

[signal stratus]

SAT 1560
GPA 4.8/5
Honors: Various research awards, oral presentations, FRC

Main ECs were self-directed reserach in augmented reality and computer vision, with a lab position at a university

STEM community service and helped teach research/mentor science fairs for middle schoolers

and then some school stuff like Student Council, math club team captain, debate team captain

[remote sail]

I have pretty similar stats idk

[rigid cliff]

jeez

[remote sail]

I have usa physics olympiad and usaco gold

[signal stratus]

i prob wouldn't read too much into the wave of decisions

[signal stratus]

BRUH

i think USACO GOld is probably more prestigious than mine

[remote sail]

Well u got in tho

I havent yet so

🙏

[sand ivy]

I don't think anyone should

[signal stratus]

exactly @remote sail

[sand ivy]

Anyway congrats on the acceptance!

[remote sail]

Are you committed to umich?

[signal stratus]

No i was just EA. I guess its now my lower bar.

[remote sail]

Oh

[wicked knoll]

wow

[rigid cliff]

i would cut off my foot for an acceptance but thats just me

[remote sail]

Did you open ur decisions? I think everyone who got decisions so far here were admitted

[rigid cliff]

open ur decision bro its looking like all acceptances

[remote sail]

Yeah fr

[rigid cliff]

a kid in my county got deferred ED and accepted

[remote sail]

Yea seems like most deferred applicants got their decisions back today

[rigid cliff]

it looks like today is all acceptances and mostly ED postponements so im cooked

[remote sail]

They probably gave priority to the deferred ed applicants

[rigid cliff]

they also probably realized like oh sht we accepted like nobody ED

[remote sail]

It says explicitly on the instagram it doesn’t reflect our decisions though

They’re probably releasing it in batches for class balancing purposes

[rain oriole]

+1

[rigid cliff]

one can hope

[naive egret]

when is next wave?

[rigid cliff]

this is gonna be brutal if its every monday

im gonna have ptsd every 3pm monday

[naive egret]

lmao

[rain oriole]

rip

[remote sail]

It clearly says it’s not a reflection of our pending decision

I don’t think that’s how it works

[signal stratus]

Can we get a poll of people who got decision today and what their decisions were?

[remote sail]

And i dont think umich has any reason to lie about that

[rigid cliff]

^^ and can we ask if they were postponed or if they applied EA

[rain oriole]

Did you guys do ur ECIs

[remote sail]

This is what gpt said lmao

[robust thicket]

@rigid cliff did u open it yet

[sand ivy]

What are its sources lol

[remote sail]

Idk

[rigid cliff]

mines not out lol

today has to be all acceptances

[robust thicket]

oh i thought u said u have an application update

[robust thicket]

i think so

[rigid cliff]

reddit, discord, tiktok, everywhere im seeing no deferrals

[robust thicket]

2 kids coe and 1 kid lsa got in from our school

[sand ivy]

I hate this so much lol

[rigid cliff]

^^

cuz why is it this difficult and secretive

its kinda disrespectful to applicants

[timid marlin]

I'm INNNNNN!!!!

[sand ivy]

Congrats!

[rigid cliff]

AYYY LETS GO BRO

[rain oriole]

Congrats

[remote sail]

Ts what gpt saying

[sand ivy]

I know it said not to worry but I'm worrying that I didn't get a decision yet lol

[timid marlin]

ty man!

[rigid cliff]

u were ED postponed right?

[sand ivy]

Ask it for its sources chatgpt genuinely invents shit up

[timid marlin]

u in?

[rigid cliff]

not out for me.....

[robust thicket]

so im assuming second wave doesnt even come out tmr

[rigid cliff]

were u postponed ED? and LSA right?

[remote sail]

Prob mid jan

[rain oriole]

Is it every Monday

[remote sail]

We dont know

It’s probably mid january though

[sand ivy]

Probably in 2 weeks

[robust thicket]

yes

its roughly 7-14 days

[rigid cliff]

their ig comments are all ED postpones who got in

today looks like all ED deferral acceptances

#cooked

[remote sail]

@wicked knoll

I think u’re in bro

[cosmic orbit]

Anyone know how many of the decisions came out?

[gentle condor]

its chatgpt 😭😭😭

[remote sail]

https://www.michigandaily.com/news/academics/students-recall-uncertainty-around-admission-decision-deadlines-and-using-online/#:~:text=Many students told The Daily,out over a few days.”

[signal stratus]

"User mgorereddit echoed" 😂

#1 source for UM right there

[cyan patio]

Ugh I have to wait till January

Do they do it by area.?

[native pike]

So UM is doing waves and NOT one wave now and one wave on Jan 30?

[remote sail]

collegevine

https://www.collegevine.com/faq/98823/michigan-ea-decisions-release-date

last year they released it in batches too it seems

[cyan patio]

Is it by major or area.?

[native pike]

Dw they wouldn't come out and explicitly say that it's not a reflection of your pending decision unless it's true

It's not by major bc I didn't get one and I'm CoE

[remote sail]

im also coe

[clever river]

seems random some are oos, some are instate

[remote sail]

most instate kids got it back today

probably instate+deferred ED got priority

[cyan patio]

What.? I thought deferred ED was gonna be RD

[remote sail]

im seeing mostly instate+deferred ED+a few oos get theirs back

[remote sail]

no

they're moved to EA

[cyan patio]

Bruh what was the point of having an ed than

So it’s just random?

I would’ve applied Ed if I knew they’d be deferred to ea

[sand ivy]

I hope so

[gentle condor]

imagine if umich just didnt have the time to read all the ed applicants so they just deferred them all 😭

thatd be really funny

[cyan patio]

Honestly what if they did do that

Because who is deferring them to ea??

[gentle condor]

its the first year of ed - i think they just didnt wanna overadmit

and be stuck in ea and rd rounds with few spots

[native pike]

have there been any EA rejections?

[cyan patio]

Any Ross people hear back

[wicked knoll]

i got in

!!!

lsa

[remote sail]

congrats bro

knew u got in lmao

[covert quartz]

anyone deferred from ed get their result today?

[fathom iris]

ayyyy

i only know 1 person irl who got in

[wicked knoll]

me!

[covert quartz]

oh congrats! Did you send an LOCI and when did you send if you did?

also what major

[thorn aspen]

Shocked rn

Got in OOS engineering EA

[wicked knoll]

i didnt send it in

the intended major was lsa data science

[sand ivy]

Did you ed?

[covert quartz]

wow. Congrats though

[sand ivy]

Congrats btw

[thorn aspen]

Only EA lol

So shocked

Thanks!!!

[sand ivy]

I see

Congrats!

[wicked knoll]

thank you!

[clever river]

are u oos/intl/instate

congrats!

[remote sail]

what state?

[marble warren]

Bro what is Michigan doing ts is so bizarre

They’ve never done anything close to this

[thorn aspen]

NY

[remote sail]

they have

[brave elm]

If you got in this first wave does that mean your app was stronger than others?

[clever river]

no I dont think so

[remote sail]

i have a perfect act score, usa physics olympiad, usaco gold, mit summer camp and still havent gotten anything back

[cosmic orbit]

any idea if they'll roll out now or just do the rest in a few weeks?

[wicked knoll]

im oos

i got deferred from ed

[remote sail]

probably next few weeks

it seems like the first batch was full of admits though

[marble warren]

I was in the middle of doing my last brown sup and hoped I could just drop it lol but I didn’t get anything yet

[cosmic orbit]

any chance schools like wisco and UNC that usually follow umich drop some too?

[remote sail]

if i had to guess, i would think most people will receive their decisions next week

[cosmic orbit]

damn that soon?

I was js assuming all this would come the 23rd or 30th

[sand ivy]

UW drops 30th

I think

[covert quartz]

if i sent in my LOCI now, do you think they'd factor it in? Ik you may not be an expert, but what do you think?

[cosmic orbit]

i dont think theyve announced it

[remote sail]

def not

too late for that

[covert quartz]

got it

[remote sail]

u got deferred ed?

[covert quartz]

yeah for oos engineering

[sand ivy]

Oh no it says on or before jan 31st

[remote sail]

didnt they release like over a month ago

[runic nexus]

Oh, got in!

[sand ivy]

Congrats!

Literally everyone got in

I feel like

[runic nexus]

YESS WE DID IT YAYAY

[remote sail]

oos?

[covert quartz]

a little less than a month ago but I got busy with writing other essays so I got to lock in on this now

[runic nexus]

Yep! OOS for LSA

[remote sail]

stats/ecs?

[clever river]

ea or ed postponed

[remote sail]

were u deferred ed?

[runic nexus]

EA

[runic nexus]

Uhh 4.67 GPA, 36 ACT, 1590 SAT, various ECs 😂

[remote sail]

bruh i have similar stats and still havent gotten my decision back

did i get deferred

[runic nexus]

NAURR I’m sure it’ll work out! They said that decisions will be coming out in waves — I wouldn’t worry about it too much! This is just the first of several I think LOLL

[remote sail]

yeah i mean i would hope so right

[runic nexus]

Yep! You’ve got this!!

[remote sail]

they said explicitly there is no correlation but at the same time everyone who got their decisions back today got in so

[odd ore]

I just got in without sending it

[covert quartz]

if you don't mind sharing, could you dm too, ur stats/ecs?

[odd ore]

sure

[runic nexus]

I think it’s just the first wave of acceptances — they may focus on sending it out in batches so it’s more manageable than everyone all at once. I know it’s kind of disheartening and confusing, but I’m sure it’ll work out in the end for you!

[remote sail]

yeah i would really hope so

i interned at umich my sophomore year and i thought i wrote a rlly good sup

idk now tbf

hopefully they release more acceptances

[covert quartz]

bro ur getting in

[native pike]

When is UNC gna drop?

[sand ivy]

No clue

[runic nexus]

Oh, that’s so exciting! I’m sure it was great! Again, don’t worry about it too much — what’s meant to be will be 🙂‍↕️

[native pike]

I think you're overthinking it. They don't just read all the apps and think oh let's only send out the strongest applicants rn. Knowing ur stats you'll be fine and if not there's always other schools

[remote sail]

🙏

[remote sail]

yeah i overthink a lot srry

[native pike]

Wait wait it's okay we all do in this process

Just know your worth & that most of the process is js waiting

[surreal sail]

very similar stats

we can only wait

[lament frost]

might be doing by region asw

[sand ivy]

I feel like it might be this

[covert quartz]

anybody get in from nj area (mainly south jersey)

[surreal sail]

which region

i'm EA from CT, no decisions here yet

[flint token]

is ts out??

[flint token]

oh ok

[left mason]

my friend made ross OOS central jersey

proud for him

[flint token]

ah ok

[left mason]

how is ross RD?

[surreal sail]

is your decision out yet

[left mason]

i applied EA then had to move applications to RD because i’m dual degree SMTD ROSS

only way to do it is via RD

[surreal sail]

ah

[left mason]

my friend did ED ross, deferred, accepted today

[surreal sail]

i remember you from the princeton slaughter

[left mason]

yes bro screw then

them

i’m still salty

[surreal sail]

WE are going to harvard

[covert quartz]

congrats to your friend. I am from south jersey area so maybe it might not be by region

[left mason]

yes bro please🙏🙏🙏

[surreal sail]

umich might be my first acceptance

[left mason]

yeah i’m not sure how the decisions came out

[surreal sail]

i kind of half assed the lsa supp so maybe not though

[left mason]

i got one decision back so far and it’s a fat rejection

[surreal sail]

same boat as you

and i thought your ec was cracked

[left mason]

my ross portfolio is amazing plus artifact is holy niche i bet one of one in us

[left mason]

yes i thought so too

guess i didn’t fit the profile 💔💔

[surreal sail]

i used your account to lock in for ap chem lol

[left mason]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[surreal sail]

got a 5 ofc

[left mason]

yessirrr means a lot boss

glad to hear it

we need to finish the last units 😂

[covert quartz]

dw they might've done it for yield protection

[left mason]

soon after we finish first semester we’ll finally be free

[surreal sail]

yeah i noticed it was empty after unit 6 or 7

[left mason]

perhaps haha

[surreal sail]

didnt use the site though i think i follow you on reels or something

[left mason]

we’re about to hit 100k on instagram 🙏

[surreal sail]

yeah i do follow you on instagram lmaooo

[left mason]

new vid tonight maybe after i submit last of my apps

[surreal sail]

this batch was good yeah

[robust thicket]

near 0 rejects for the first wave

but second wave will have rejections but still very few

and its mostyl defferals second wave

[surreal sail]

i only wrote 500 words for the lsa supp so maybe me

[robust thicket]

third wave i think its a 50/50 or swayed more towards rejections

[surreal sail]

decision acc said that the timing has no bearing on the actual decision

[robust thicket]

theyre lying

[left mason]

brooo i’m scared now ross RD OOS

[robust thicket]

historically the first wave had more acceptences, second wave had more defferals, third wave had more denials

[clever river]

source: trust me

[robust thicket]

yeah the wave your in isnt a automatic indicator but its something

no

first wave consisted of very strong applicants

[sand ivy]

Did like anyone get rejected though? I haven't seen anything other than acceptances

[robust thicket]

good grades good ec's all around cpmpetitive student

[flint token]

crap

wait would CS be diff

[surreal sail]

theres no cs decisions out

[robust thicket]

i think the second wave is the reason why people say Michigan has a lot of deferrals

[flint token]

oh lesgo

[robust thicket]

COE or lsa?

[surreal sail]

lsa

[robust thicket]

are u sure

[prime wadi]

MY BESTFRIEND GOT IN ITS HER DREAM SCHOOL

[robust thicket]

im pretty sure kid from our school got into lsa

[surreal sail]

for CS? hm

then it might be regional idk

[flint token]

im coe

lowk forgot there was 2

[robust thicket]

yeah no cs is out

[sand ivy]

Umich doesnt admit by major anyway

[flint token]

oop

[surreal sail]

except CS

[robust thicket]

why is cs any different

[sand ivy]

Oh really?

[robust thicket]

its js more competitive

[surreal sail]

they do advance selection its too popular

[flint token]

cuz they say so

[robust thicket]

shi

[flint token]

On your application, you indicated an interest in advance selection for the computer science program. Advance selection consideration is made only after an applicant has received an admit decision from their primary University of Michigan college. Once an advance selection decision has been reached, that information will be displayed for you here.

hm

[robust thicket]

oh so its essentially two rounds of admissions

im guessing friday or next monday

[remote sail]

i havent gotten anything back w perfect act, usapho, usaco gold, mit camp and neither did my friend for anthropology w perfect act, nhd natls and other history shi

im from ohio

she's from tx

[robust thicket]

theyre not messing w you bro 💔

are you oos

[remote sail]

ohio

yeah

deferred

they're capacity constrained appararently

[left mason]

LSA or engineering

[remote sail]

people on reddit got rejected w 1550 and 3 published papers

[remote sail]

engineering

and my friend for LSA

[robust thicket]

rip bro

[surreal sail]

probably a troll but its not an entirely green wave

[clever river]

is the first havnt seen any

[remote sail]

they only accept 400 kids in ed for engineering

so like ~80 asian males cap

[robust thicket]

that cant be true

[prime wadi]

Yeah like 20 kids got into umich from my school

[remote sail]

u can search it up

[flint token]

yield protect inc??

[prime wadi]

Not me yet

[robust thicket]

are u deadass

[little parcel]

YO CHAT HOW MANY PPL GOT IN ED

[remote sail]

i havent gotten anything back yet

neither did my friend

[robust thicket]

i got deferred ed

[remote sail]

i got deferred ed from cornell if that's what u were asking

[prime wadi]

My bsf did too! She got her decision back

[remote sail]

are u in state

what region

[covert quartz]

did you apply engineering for cornell?

[prime wadi]

Yes big feeder

[surreal sail]

okay yeah this must be region based someone posted an ea acceptance in #✨-celebration-station

[remote sail]

yes

[robust thicket]

congrats to her man

[surreal sail]

lot of NJs on reddit

[robust thicket]

oh we arent a feeder school at all and 3 kids already got accepted

[prime wadi]

Depends because I haven’t heard back

[surreal sail]

where is everybody from here

[remote sail]

cornell engineering is murder i know an isef finalist who got deferred as an asian male

[covert quartz]

Yield protection man

[sonic birch]

Btw i read my admissions file and grades/test scores + achievements are only one category

[remote sail]

it's not

[prime wadi]

Hehe..Michigan

[remote sail]

i applied ED

[covert quartz]

idk u got gold medals from every engineering discipline and a perfect act

[surreal sail]

what would you say they prioritize

i had strong stats / transcript and weaker ecs

[remote sail]

doesnt matter when there are kids with IMO/AMO/PhO medals

[covert quartz]

true

[remote sail]

stats dont matter after a certain point

[robust thicket]

stats dont matter if everyone applying has a 4.0

[covert quartz]

i might be cooked cornell rd engineering. I think they might put my application into acceptance on accident, a possibility I look forward to

[sonic birch]

Well they idk how much im allowed to say but theres 5 categories and ur grades/test scores were only one of them

Definitely look more at essays and ecs

[remote sail]

you shouldve applied rd to cals or cas

[surreal sail]

huh

[robust thicket]

what was your score

[flint token]

yo thank gosh i switched to CAS last minute

[remote sail]

cornell engineering accepts ~850 new freshmen 400 in ed and 450ish in RD

[rigid cliff]

so no one got rejected/deferred today then

[surreal sail]

i talked to someone who did umich for undergrad and he said most of the time is spent on your transcript

[remote sail]

of course they have class balancing within those numbers

[sonic birch]

For?

[sonic birch]

Which college is he in?

[robust thicket]

def some rejections but survivorship bias

[sonic birch]

I’m speaking for LSA and ross

I didnt apply CoE

[surreal sail]

he did data science

[robust thicket]

your mich admission

did u say u got your score back

[remote sail]

someone got rejected today?

[surreal sail]

no

[sonic birch]

Yeah i dont think i wanna reveal how the scoring works

Or my score

[robust thicket]

why not

[rigid cliff]

bro what

[sonic birch]

Thats either lsa or coe

[flint token]

anyone got in for cs

[robust thicket]

i mean up to you but its still public info

[remote sail]

are u talking abt the advanced selection?

[surreal sail]

one intl in #✨-celebration-station i think

[remote sail]

i applied as a meche but i put interested in the advanced selection

[flint token]

i saw

[sonic birch]

My score is definitely not public info, i also doubt the entire evaluation of ones admissions file is

[flint token]

idk what the means

[remote sail]

human eco?

[flint token]

i think ijust put cs as my major

[robust thicket]

no obviously not but the way they score is public info

[remote sail]

less competitive than CAS, COE, Dyson

[sonic birch]

Ya thats enough for yall to know

[rigid cliff]

be brutally honest guys, if i got deferred ED with 3.8 and 1490 and didnt hear an acceptance today, am i likely gonna be deferred again

[remote sail]

probably on the lesser competitive side

[robust thicket]

was it a 4

i mean its grades/test scores right

[flint token]

ye ig

[green sundial]

umich accepted a majority of ed with high sat/3.9+ gpa

so idt its representative of ea/rd

i think ur fine

[remote sail]

a lot of my friends from camp haven't gotten their decisions back

[green sundial]

u also showed demonstrated interest through ed in the first place and thats what waitlists a lot of people at umich

[robust thicket]

if i get double deferred im sliming you out

[green sundial]

but also remember

umich put out that anyone who got deferred from ed

[rigid cliff]

i feel like i remember u from a convo like a month ago, did u get in?

[green sundial]

may not get a result until april

[sand ivy]

This makes me thing its regional

[green sundial]

half of ed got lumped into ea

half of ed got lumped into rd

give or take

[robust thicket]

no decision

[rigid cliff]

broooo

[remote sail]

i think we should like lowk calm down

they're def releasing more acceptances

[rigid cliff]

yea ive calmed down a bit more

from like 3-4pm i was so upset w myself

[robust thicket]

1520/4.0

[robust thicket]

yeah a week from now

i was tryna lock out so i dont need to study for my calc final

[sonic birch]

No it wasnt 4

[rigid cliff]

every monday we come to this thread to trauma bond

[remote sail]

that's p soon bro

ut coming out in 9 days

[robust thicket]

so it was a 5

[remote sail]

usc in 11

umich idk when

😭

gt end of jan

[sonic birch]

Flowkirkenuinely

[rigid cliff]

yea january is hell month

[robust thicket]

if you got admitted and they prioritized high gpa/test score then theres likely no chance you got a 3

[sonic birch]

Do u know how the ratings work?

Its 1-5 for ross and 15-1 for lsa

[robust thicket]

1-5

oh only ross?

[sonic birch]

Idk which one ur talking abt

😭 🙏

[robust thicket]

which one did u apply to

[sonic birch]

Yeah lsa is 15 worst and 1 best

[sonic birch]

Both

[rigid cliff]

can u say the 5 categories

[sonic birch]

For ross?

[robust thicket]

their interdisciplinary?

[rigid cliff]

did u apply ross

[robust thicket]

business and engineering right

[sonic birch]

theres a dual degree program for ross + X

[robust thicket]

dual degree

yeah

shit

[sonic birch]

Eh u can do business + anything but yeah

[remote sail]

btw

this kid is an IMO camper

so

[sonic birch]

Yeah

[rigid cliff]

wdym

[robust thicket]

im gonna go w 3

[remote sail]

his ECs are kinda "STACKED"

[sonic birch]

Bet

[remote sail]

he camped for the international math olympiad

[rigid cliff]

oh helllll naw

[royal juniper]

umich dont geek me

[sonic birch]

I think that was just one line on my admissions file as well

[robust thicket]

a week bro

[remote sail]

ok but lowk imo is one hell of a flex tho

[robust thicket]

can you tell them to accept me

[sonic birch]

The “standout” on my application was one of my ecs actually

[remote sail]

did u get anything back or nha

[royal juniper]

nope

[remote sail]

what region

[royal juniper]

just checked actions

nothing to do

[sonic birch]

We have a lot of usamo ppl ngl its not that impressive

[remote sail]

[sand ivy]

Why do umuch need to be weird and not release everything at the same time

[sonic birch]

Yeah ill bust into the admissions office

[remote sail]

[royal juniper]

I'm gonna find you at transfer orientation buddy, this isn't an empty promise

[royal juniper]

wrong channel

[robust thicket]

50/50

[remote sail]

😭

[sonic birch]

Dude my duke interview was absolutely amazing

🙏

[rigid cliff]

bro ur talking abt uchicago chillax

[robust thicket]

if WE get in youre buying US

[remote sail]

ok so what were ur stats and ecs

[sonic birch]

Deadass bro

[rigid cliff]

[little parcel]

rd?

[sonic birch]

Yeah for rd but last year

[rigid cliff]

did u get into duke

[royal juniper]

ecs were mid, stats were 4.0 uw and high 1500s SAT

[sonic birch]

We went like on for like 2 hours

[remote sail]

bro i have a similar profile

[royal juniper]

tuff

[remote sail]

still no result

[sonic birch]

Ya

[royal juniper]

umich will love us king dw

[remote sail]

umich edging us

[robust thicket]

your awards are crazy bro

[remote sail]

umich actually edging us

[remote sail]

awards are pretty decent but im also an asian male in engineering bro

[robust thicket]

im an asian male in business

[remote sail]

that's less competitive than engineering fs

[robust thicket]

im gonna take your spot if thats okay w you

[sonic birch]

Dw half of ross is asian males💔

[robust thicket]

deadass bro have you seen their insta posts

[remote sail]

bro i havent gotten any good news for the past 2 months

i need something

[sonic birch]

Definitely not vro ross is deadass chopped especially their dual degree program

[robust thicket]

me too bruh this is bad news to me

[remote sail]

oh ross

i forgot

[sand ivy]

Do you know any moroccans?

[robust thicket]

ross is a target school

[remote sail]

lowk ross is more comp than engineering

💀

[sonic birch]

LMAO yeah walk around in ross and youll see asian males everywhere

[robust thicket]

ross is way more comp

[clever river]

what is the deferral conversion rate for umich

[robust thicket]

low?

[sonic birch]

Nope

[remote sail]

guys ill do a backflip if i get into uchicago

[robust thicket]

they defer a significant portion so its gotta be low

[remote sail]

and ill also do a backflip if i get into either ut/gt/usc/umich

[sand ivy]

In all my schools I only find like

1 moroccan enrolled in a master's program

[clever river]

most of the wave seems like ed postponed getting accepted

[robust thicket]

are you apart of that statistic

[sonic birch]

Yeah but its also not for everyone, i joined ross clubs and am transferring out now

[remote sail]

yeah i think so

[robust thicket]

i genuinely think its 50/50

[remote sail]

did umich drop in waves when u applied

[sand ivy]

I hope to be a diversity admit

And proud

[sonic birch]

Umich only accepts 300-400 internationals every cycle, i only know 2 other people from my country as well

[robust thicket]

to where

im applying intl

[sonic birch]

Math + business => math + stats + cs

[robust thicket]

tryna be a quant

[sonic birch]

Already am

[robust thicket]

slide me 20 bands

[sonic birch]

I’m kidding

I’m broke💀

[remote sail]

umich doesnt yield right for engineering oos?

[clever river]

r u a current student at umich

[robust thicket]

😔

[sonic birch]

Yes

[sonic birch]

Yield doesnt exist at any T20

[remote sail]

yo pls admit me umich fr

[rigid cliff]

... um this is completely false

[rigid cliff]

michigan 10000% has yield

[robust thicket]

mich cares so much about yield

[clever river]

what do u think of the new ed cycle so far

[sonic birch]

You just have to understand each schools “perfect” applicant looks different and theres no way you fulfill that for 10+ T20s
They only yielded for ED, if ur EA or RD i guarantee u its not yield

[sonic birch]

Cooked

[sand ivy]

They do if I'm applying

Universities hate seeing me coming

[remote sail]

why would they yield for ed

they have to go if admitted

[robust thicket]

thats a good point

[rigid cliff]

if today was the only ED acceptances from deferrals im gonna be so mad

cuz then they should js come out and say that

[robust thicket]

its not

[sonic birch]

They only wanna lock in the cracked HYPSM instaters from the admits ive seen

But calm down yall aint allat to think umich is yielding most ppl😭 🙏

[rigid cliff]

ive seen like so many kids who got deferred ED get in today tho

[remote sail]

guys if i get into ut austin ill do a backflip

[rigid cliff]

it definitely exists, friend of mine last yr got into princeton and mit and got deferred waitlist michigan

[exotic mirage]

there is no yield protetion for ed...

[sonic birch]

Yeah but everyone here saying they’re yielding is crazy work

I’m sure like 2-3% get yielded, statistically that should be like one person here

💀

[exotic mirage]

for ea?

[remote sail]

@sonic birch can u read my umich essay

[sonic birch]

Yeah at least oos/intl

Instaters play diff game

[robust thicket]

mich is historically known to yield protect people

youre crazy to think they dont practice yield protection

[exotic mirage]

my friend lives in ann arbor and told me her school has a 40% accceptance rate there

[remote sail]

yeah i worked w their robotics team when i interned at mich

[robust thicket]

wraps bro

[remote sail]

pioneer highschool has like a 40% admit rate to umich lmao

[clever river]

instate + feeder will always be higher than most

[sonic birch]

Trust me they couldnt care less about most intl/oos applicants💀

[sonic birch]

Yeah thats why i said instaters play a diff game

[exotic mirage]

yup lmao

[robust thicket]

im gonna tickle you bro

[exotic mirage]

my umich essay was buns

[robust thicket]

ill be back in a week with my acceptance to mich alright

[remote sail]

yo ch4sst

can u check dm

[signal stratus]

Is the concensus today it was mostly deferred ED applicants?

[surreal sail]

there were a sizable amount of EAs too

[sonic birch]

Sure

[sand ivy]

Most likely regional

[surreal sail]

we might be clutching at straws here it could just be random

[sonic birch]

Type shit bro

[runic nexus]

Mostly, with a good amount of EAs!

[runic nexus]

Not sure if it's regional -- I'm from the Southeast and got a decision

[sand ivy]

Regional doesnt mean 1 region

[signal stratus]

yea im FL, and i know a few otherss scattered around

[surreal sail]

nothing from new england iirc

NJ is the closest

[sand ivy]

Like a specific set of admissions officers are like
Europe, midwest, south for example and they release that

[signal stratus]

I had ED people in my state that didn't hear back

[sand ivy]

Another group would be asia, east coast

Etc.

[robust thicket]

for Michigan?

[surreal sail]

yeah

[robust thicket]

not true

there are several admits from ne

[runic nexus]

Yeah! I'm not sure, and I don't really want to speculate 😂

[surreal sail]

hmmm

which states

[signal stratus]

we're probably reading too much into it. 98% chance it really means nothing today who got what

[robust thicket]

mass

[marble warren]

What do you guys think will there be more waves?

[surreal sail]

thankfully CT is empty

[remote sail]

nothing from Ohio

[exotic mirage]

can someone read my essays...

[mossy breach]

they sent an email right

for the people that got decisions?

[flint token]

lol

[sand ivy]

There will be more waves.

[robust thicket]

yeah

[sand ivy]

Atleast 1 more

[robust thicket]

i think theres been 2

[remote sail]

ok guys dont flame me but i think it will go like this

[marble warren]

Why do you think that

[remote sail]

the next wave will probably be mainly admits + a few deferrals

[robust thicket]

you wanna bet

[sand ivy]

Because alot of people didn't get their decisions yet

So there has to be atleast 1 more wave

[robust thicket]

im sayin mainly deferals with admits

[remote sail]

the wave after that will be like 30% admits and 70% deferrals

[surreal sail]

deferral is chill

[remote sail]

and then the last will be like 50% deferral and 50% rejection

[robust thicket]

what the hell

4 waves bro

[marble warren]

No I mean will there be like multiple waves or will the rest all come out late January

[sand ivy]

No clue

[robust thicket]

there will be multiple waves

[mossy breach]

bruh the portal literally said will release until the 30th yall chill

[robust thicket]

trust me im an alum

[sonic birch]

How about yall just go out and wait cuz the decision wont change anyway💀

[exotic mirage]

the wording on the portal entails multiple waves

[remote sail]

wdym

you're a senior lmao

[covert quartz]

i hope i don't get up caught up in the waves.

[robust thicket]

you dont know that

[teal mantle]

Why didn’t anyone tell me it came out

[robust thicket]

youre funny

[remote sail]

prove you're an alum

[sonic birch]

What is umich cooking this year LMFAOOO

[robust thicket]

give me $50

[remote sail]

lol

ahahahaa

[teal mantle]

We didn’t get to poll bc nobody told me

[sonic birch]

💔

[remote sail]

no one got rejected

[surreal sail]

U-M has released an initial wave of Early Action decisions. If you haven’t received a decision yet, this is not a reflection of your pending decision. More decisions are on the way and will be shared by Jan. 30.

[remote sail]

everyone from this wave got accepted

[sonic birch]

Rip

[sand ivy]

Is it too late to put up a poll?

[exotic mirage]

bruhh theyre always tryingm to be diff

[sonic birch]

Wait are they deadass doing it in waves

Wtf

[remote sail]

yes

[sonic birch]

Last year it was just set dates afaik

[robust thicket]

yes bro

[sonic birch]

😭 🙏

[remote sail]

first wave came out today

[exotic mirage]

last year they all came out 30th

[sonic birch]

Yeah

[robust thicket]

this is def the earliest a wave has come out though

fifth of jan bro

[mossy breach]

no they didnt 💀

[remote sail]

prove it

[exotic mirage]

so like unless theyre doing the 5th and th 30th they logically have to spread it out right

[robust thicket]

hella early most colleges dont start releasing until mid jan

[exotic mirage]

otherwise thats hella unfair

[remote sail]

yeah bro

[robust thicket]

im guessing friday or monday

this friday next monday

and then there will be another wave after the next one

[exotic mirage]

i mean ed also came out early

[mossy breach]

literally go on reddit lmao

[robust thicket]

because the vokume of applicants is also crazy

[teal mantle]

Maybe it’ll be every Monday

Purdue does waves every week for rd I think

[lean pagoda]

Out of state ea nothing

[remote sail]

can u link it to me

[robust thicket]

well its their first year

[lean pagoda]

Might be getting deferred chat

[sonic birch]

Wait thats hella funny

Boutta see everyone lose their shit every week

🙏 😭

[exotic mirage]

they said "initial wave" and "more decisions BY january 30th" like we shuld just read the thing

[mossy breach]

"this is not a reflection of your pending decision. More decisions are on the way and will be shared by Jan. 30." ^

[robust thicket]

if i get deferred a second time ill genuinely be lost for hope

[exotic mirage]

if it was just one more it would be "first wave" and like "second wave"

[robust thicket]

hey you think ts funny

js wait till i get admitted and i see you at orientation

[remote sail]

okay so one person got rejected

[teal mantle]

I think that kid may be lying when he also posted this https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/s/428Mmy5w2w

[sonic birch]

It definitely is LMAOOO

[robust thicket]

sleep w one eye open

[sonic birch]

They pulling some weird ut austin shit

[remote sail]

this guy is like capping right

[sonic birch]

me when ut austin released rd before ea last year

[teal mantle]

He’s the only one who claimed rejections and I’ve seen at least a dozen acceptance claims

[remote sail]

yeah

[sonic birch]

Lets go frat hopping👅

[sand ivy]

I saw 1 other rejection but that's it

[robust thicket]

fuh yeah twin

[robust thicket]

i believe it

[sonic birch]

They love to see us rich rossholes

[mossy breach]

but also if you got rejected would the first thing you do be hop on reddit

[robust thicket]

yes\

[lean pagoda]

I just submitted an application update today

[exotic mirage]

your bio says you're FIFTEEN???

[lean pagoda]

Was ts not the move

[sonic birch]

Wait twin i cant bring a minor to frats youll need a fake💀

[robust thicket]
