Re: Michigan 2010 Waitlist Only!
got it too. (seems like a LOT of people did. so much for a "very small group of strong candidates")
thinking about it. this seems like an interesting question to ask of us. kind of a double-edged sword.
if michigan is your top choice, saying you will wait til orientation might give them the impression that they can take you for a ride if need be. "this one is willing to wait, let's hold him until we are really desperate"
but saying you will only wait til end of june, does it mean they will release you after July 1st? you might lose out on opportunities that might come up later in the summer. though my impression is that most, if any, of the movement will happen in June.

Did anyone here get released? It seems like a lot of people are being kept on the waitlist.

Re: Michigan 2010 Waitlist Only!
haha. i agree. although im sure those of us posting in this thread are all people who very seriously want michigan. we all probably have competitive numbers, sent strong LOCIs, and believe that michigan is enough of a personal upgrade from our current deposited school to warrant the wait/switching costs.romothesavior wrote:Did anyone here get released?

there could have been a large number of candidates released, all of whom don't care enough, and probably arent following this thread to begin with.

+1, this is likely an unrepresentative sample.DOOM wrote:haha. i agree. although im sure those of us posting in this thread are all people who very seriously want michigan. we all probably have competitive numbers, sent strong LOCIs, and believe that michigan is enough of a personal upgrade from our current deposited school to warrant the wait/switching costs.romothesavior wrote:Did anyone here get released?

I got it as well. Yeah I suppose "a few strong candidates remaining" is a relative term.

Has Mich taken anyone off the WL yet? I'm wondering if they're looking for LSATs or GPAs...

Doesn't seem like a "very small" group... alas.

I received the email too.
Whether it is true or not that only a small group of applicants are still on the waitlist, I will continue to (naively) believe that this thread is an unrepresentative sample.

Re: Michigan 2010 Waitlist Only!
I'm starting to think the entire world got this email today, and that the way we answer will have greatly influence how they treat our apps. I think they're very clearly looking for people to eliminate themselves from the WL in some way. SIGH.

Sure hope "guarded and vague" is the attitude they're looking for. *fingers crossed*danidancer wrote:I'm starting to think the entire world got this email today, and that the way we answer will have greatly influence how they treat our apps.

I've sent 4 LOCIs already, the last one just a few weeks ago basically begging and pleading and selling my future children's soul's to the devil. They know I want to go there.IAFG wrote:i would definitely write them some "why mich" bits in your responsedanidancer wrote:I'm starting to think the entire world got this email today, and that the way we answer will have greatly influence how they treat our apps.

Re: Michigan 2010 Waitlist Only!
as i understand it, the waitlist drops were sent out via snail mail. if this is true, then it makes sense that the only people posting so far would be people who got the email...shuttlesworth wrote:Seriously, did anyone her not get this email?

Re: Michigan 2010 Waitlist Only!
I got in off the waitlist by via a strange phone call on May 25th, similar to the calls other TLSers reported getting, in which they were vaguely asked about their interest level in Mich.lawschoollll wrote:Has Mich taken anyone off the WL yet? I'm wondering if they're looking for LSATs or GPAs...
I had no idea where the admissions lady was going with the call, because she started by saying "we're not really making offers," but then talked about how much they liked my LOCI, asked me if I was still interested in Mich, and then told me I was in when I vomited the content of my LOCI all over her ears out of nervousness and desperation.
"Not really making offers" what???
After I hung up, I thought maybe it was some kind of satanic practical joke, but I got the mailed materials a bit later. I was too scared that they'd out me due to the scarcity of their offers and decide I didn't love them enough to post the full thing on TLS until I got Mich's physical packet.
Bottom line: If you get a call from Michigan, tell them how much you LOVE their law school FOREVER.
