Think it's too late for me to get an app out with a reasonable chance of getting in? 172 LSAT and 3.6 GPA if it matters.

ur a lock

I think "lock" is overly optimistic, but your chances are great, based on numbers alone. Definitely throw an app in. It wouldn't be a waste of money at all.

You can use the search function in the thread. Lots of people have heard about money, others haven't.

In by email this morning!

Can anyone confirm if it's still a big envelope this year, or are they FedExing a box? I want to make sure they have the right delivery address. SO EXCITED!

Congrats! Big envelope Not much in it other than a formal letter and a little folder packet thingy with a bunch of information about UMich that you probably already know.

I received an email with my scholarship information maybe a week after receiving my acceptance email.

PS The Class of 2019 page has been moved to the other forum, so feel free to ask more attending-specific (as opposed to applicant-specific) Qs over there!

That's the kind of turnaround I'm hoping for! I'd love to hear about scholarships this week

i have so much hype for michigan but i'm having trouble articulating why. would anyone care to read my "why michigan"?

Don't feel pigeonholed into only doing it as a ``Why Michigan?'' (i.e. Essay One). I think you can make a really awesome discussion that intertwines some of Michigan's strengths into the other essays as well. That might be an easier avenue for you to pursue, as it helps you show more about yourself as well as how Michigan fits in with you. I always feel like the Why X essay is absurdly hard and oftentimes comes across as being insincere, whereas the other topics can be useful to combine both your own lived experience with some of Michigan's characteristics. FWIW, I wrote about one of the alternative topics and was admitted, so I can attest that it won't sink you.

Same. I did the second essay option, if I recall. I suspect it's a bit easier to get an attentive read when it's not the same "blah blah, Ann Arbor is pretty" stuff over and over.

pm it to me and I can give some feedback. I used to work at a writing center so I'm pretty good at helping with papers

Just got my merit aid offer. Honestly a little disappointed. The letter said they don't negotiate or rather 'compete'..is this actually the case?

I was accepted at the end of December, and I just got my aid information today. I am pretty thrilled.
