Michigan c/o 2020 applicants (2016-17) Forum

[harmcharm]

Ok, I'll break and do the neurotic check-in. Above both 75s, been complete since October, but no news. I know a lot of people are in the same situation, but did anyone else NOT receive the "thank you for your patience" email the other week? I checked the status checker thinking it meant I was dinged, but no change. I think they forgot my app existed.

what the hell, Michigan...I was accepted just over 2 weeks ago, so could be receiving my aid award (fingers crossed!) any time now. I'm not particularly impatient, but I'm looking forward to it. I received the consumer information and the offer follow up e-mails today! really stressing me out here.

If it makes you feel better, I got into Michigan on November 22, and I haven't received any scholarship information to date.

Same. I'm not a bad applicant either. Above LSAT > 25 and GPA > 75. It would be pretty bizarre if I got $0, considering Michigan gives out scholarships to ~80% of students.

Finally went complete today. It took about 4 weeks, so really I shouldn't be surprised, but it seemed like forever

My understanding is that everyone can expect an email --- even if they're not receiving any money.

I'm also on the "it's been two weeks, where's my scholly info?" train

Got an e-mail asking for supplemental info regarding in-state status. I don't know how well that speaks to my chances if at all, but it was exciting to hear anything back.

Also best wishes to the folks who got dinged. :\

Damn, I don't know how the Int'l non-GPA works, but is there any word how that typically weighs on an application? Do International students have a more difficult time in general? Best of luck to you. You obviously have a killer LSAT at least, so I imagine you'll get some love from a top school.

Yeah I got that checking in email when everyone else got theirs.

I don't think it weighs a lot on an app. I'm an int'l applicant and my LSAT is right on 75th but I got in pretty early in the cycle with a decent scholly. I assume that it only denotes a stronger emphasis on the rest of you application.

From a school's reporting perspective, a non-existent GPA has no impact on the medians. It is essentially like a median GPA.

However, internationals have a tougher time getting jobs with visa uncertainty, accent issues etc. And due to lack of funding, many actually don't end up joining LS as well. I believe this is the difficulty in marketability is the only difference between a median GPA domestic student and an international student without GPA.

One small point that is in favor of internationals though is diversity.

Submitted a Why Michigan last night after getting the "thanks for your patience" email last week. Hopefully this helps - I think Michigan's my top choice at this point!

Applied for the first preview weekend! Subsidized hotel is really nice - 3 nights for $60.

Is it too late to apply to Michigan? Numbers are at or above both 75th... even if I apply and get in do I have a shot at any money?

I think not getting YPed is going to be a problem for you, but it's worth a shot if you can whip up a good "why Michigan". I'm sure they'd hand out $ for those numbers but it may be difficult to convince them you actually want to go there when you apply this late.

Yeah I'm comfortably above both 75ths, applied in mid Oct, and have heard nothing since despite writing why Mich. The YP is real
