Michigan c/o 2015 Applicants (2011-2012 cycle) Forum

[LuckyinLaw?]

just got my status checker, submitted 1/9

same here

+1

+2

+3 I feel emotionally fulfilled....now all I need is a decision, although I suspect that I am in for a wait.

[ScrabbleChamp]

+1. I was complete for about 3 months before I withdrew... never received a decision. 177/3.7.

Thank you for sharing this info! I had a couple minor errors in my Mich PS and I was convinced that I would soon be getting the snail mail rejection letter.
<---needs to chill out and remember that 90% of this is a numbers game anyway...
Good luck, everyone!

Not sure if you took the full context of my statement. I was admitted to Michigan about 4 weeks after I applied... I was speaking about William & Mary when I stated I didn't receive a decision from them.

your file was probably misread or misplaced. when did u apply for michigan?

I applied to Michigan first week of November and was accepted the last week of November.

I applied in September (complete in November) accepted last week in November.

[Liquox]

hopefully that means good news at the end of the month for those of us still waiting...

Hi guysss! What is the consensus on sending in a Why Michigan now? I didn't originally submit one because I didn't think I had a shot at actually getting in. Now that I'm obsessed with the school though, I feel like I should let them know.

Should I do it in a LOCI? Or send it in an email?

i sent a why mich in loci format a month ago and i'm still complete everyday. i don't think it hurts though

Haha I feel your pain, complete since 1/13. Did you send it as an attachment to an email or just in the email itself? Sorry lots of questions don't want to bother Dean Z...

I may follow this route... even though I still haven't even gotten my status checker...

i sent it as an attachment to an email. idk if i would follow my advice though, i submitted in september and haven't heard back

[hyakku]

Daily post. Complete. I'm starting to realize we really don't have much time left to decide either. Most people have to deposit by April- may, and it looks like WLa don't even go out until next next Monday. Ive started tetatively planning for DC, especially since I hear housing in AA is almost impossible to get late. I'm not sure about everyone else, by either way I've gotta move cross country, not something easily done at the drop of a hat

Now to seduce an up and coming senator to be mah sugar momma in DC for the next three years....luxxe if we both end up there I'm gonna recruit you for my cause.

I think you mean 'mah sugah mama' but seriously...DC would be SO much more expensive than AA!

[wolverine10]

I got to Michigan for undergrad. People sign on housing in October/November; its absurdly early. Although its not as expensive as DC but as far as college real estate goes its fairly expensive, 650-1000 a month depending on where you are living

I pay almost $1,200 for a 2-bedroom that's not downtown. Expect to be at the top end of that, or more, if you don't want a roommate or want to be right downtown.

[wolverine10]

Yea thats true. I pay 620 but I live about a 15 min walk from the downtown bars and the law school. Luxury apartments built in AA are close to 1200 a month. All the affordable housing is gone by now though

This is seriously stressing me out.

Michigan, where are these waitlists at? I'm ready to wrap this up.

[charliep]

i'm guessing the 24th or 27th, but, hey, in the meantime we can still hope, right? (looks around nervously for approval)

A lot of us are in the same boat. we will find roommates. we will find affordable and convenient shelter in AA.

assuming, of course, that we get in.

This is all making me really sad...

[calverna]

I read an interview with Dean Tom from Berkeley where he writes that approximately 25% of their spots remain by the time the application deadline rolls around. I'm going to apply some wishful thinking and say this is the exact same for Michigan. And we're all going to get accepted. And I'm going to win the lottery.

*firm nod*

i don't think that it is a stretch to say that this is an "unusual" cycle. because apps are down, they are waiting until the end to make more decisions.

jeez, you guys are making me feel like we are the uncool kids stuck waiting while everyone else gets picked for dodgeball teams. KEEP IT TOGETHER.

I do feel that way a little bit. I was never very good at dodgeball.

That just made me laugh out loud. Think I should email Dean Z that I promise I'm not fat and have a mean throwing arm?!?! I'm good at dodgeball damnit! JUST PICK MEEEE.

I like this guy.

[T00L]

I'll put a tent up in the law quad. Sure, it will be freezing when the snow comes down, but I'll be a complete hardass by Feb.

If it's any comfort, you'll be so busy you'll barely know who you're living with. Especially if they are in a different section. I barely saw my roommate last year. I had morning classes, he had mainly afternoon. I came home in the afternoon to study, and he stayed at the library until ridiculously late studying.

[kennethellenparcell]

I like this thread. It makes me feel less like the awkward Asian kid in the back of the room with the bowl cut and the pimples. DON'T YOU ALL WANT ME AS YOUR CLASSMATE NOW?!
