I'll take that chance too...Let's hope they haven't updated it because "to minimize anxiety, the final-decision indicator won’t appear until a couple of days after a decision letter has already been mailed". And instead of updating it to keep saying Complete they hold off updating "Decision" until a few days after it is mailed.

good point. The users didn't specify that they were deferred, so there was no D next to their status. I didnt bother to look at the decision date. whoops

[Objection]

My status didn't update today. First non-weekend day that happened with Michigan.

Something going on behind the scenes, perhaps?

[silver11]

Mine updated today...still says complete

[Objection]

Mine too

[silver11]

I think we'll find out on the 18th if past cycle is based on Thanksgiving date. I was hoping it was based on start of November...

Why was she banned?

Quick question: Those of you who wrote a DS for your Michigan App, did you just work it into one of the optional essays or as a separate essay?

I hope you're not right about the blank page thing, but I think you probably are. I went complete after you but before vidhartha and mine still says complete. I want mine to be blank too!!

Why was she banned?

self imposed exile. She's welcome back at any time so it's not a *real* ban. She just loves the sweet sweet taste of TLS too much.

I worked it into one of my optional essays. Specifically, I submitted my DS (with a slightly altered conclusion) for Essay #7.

wow congrats! did you apply for both summer and fall? were you an ED applicant?

[waitingforanswers]

Thanks! I was a regular applicant. I checked the box for summer or fall so they gave me the option.

[silver11]

Congrat, but jealous!

[just a girl]

Congratulations!! Have you decided on Fall or Summer?

I hate tardiness!

[silver11]

It was supposed to be last week if you go by placement in November and today if you go by Thanksgiving. They really need to continue patterns because anxiety kills.

[just a girl]

they must be starting to court people for the darrow...maybe i should have applied regular decision!

Why? Are ED applicants not considered for the Darrow?

[just a girl]

Oh, I didn't realize that, but I guess it makes sense. Have any ED people on LSN gotten a Darrow?
Are you looking to receive $$$ from Michigan?

[Pathfinder]

no one has received a darrow, but some have received money, which is pretty generous of them. I mean, they have to attend the school, so the money isn't meant to sway their decision (because it's nonexistent)

[waitingforanswers]

they must be starting to court people for the darrow...maybe i should have applied regular decision! silly me, i thought applying early meant i would hear early... congrats, though! any idea when they will actually start sending decisions? don't they know that they're late??!

Thanks but I can't imagine I'd be considered for a Darrow. I assume they base their scholarship decisions on numbers and mine are nothing special(4.0/169). I can always dream though...Also, she said they weren't sending decisions until a "later point" which is a very uninformative statement.

ok i'm a bit confused...
I just received my online status check ID. I logged in for the first time and found that my status was complete. how is that possible? I submitted my app a bit late for ED (around the 9th), and my app wasn't even requested until the 14th, could I have really gone complete in 4 days? is there some kind of mistake? I'm going to jump for joy if i'm actually complete and being considered as an ED applicant!
