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

[somedeadman]

Still waiting for them to review my app again. I got the email like two weeks ago that they would review my app again. So it just says complete still. I applied mid-NOVEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I applied in mid October and haven't heard a peep lol. Though as long as I get in, it's all good haha

Just got the funniest/quirkiest/nicest email from Mich asking me to apply! Claiming they had given me a fee waiver a while back - girrrrl! Show me the receipts!

Anyway, it was a really great email! Anyone else get this and considering applying?

As you'll likely continue to find, all of Michigan's correspondence are really fun and quirky. It's how they try to differentiate themselves from other law schools. Personally, I think it's a really good strategy; it definitely made me look into them more.

Agreed. They're less formal/robotic and more "human" with jokes and such.

I'll just add that I met with Dean Z for like 20 minutes recently and it was like meeting with one of those emails. She's adorable. It doesn't seem like it's just a marketing strategy (though it definitely doesn't hurt in that regard).

I'll second that. Just had a long call with her this week and those emails absolutely capture her personality, except that she's even more exuberant live.

Edited to anonymize slightly more.

Wish you guys could get accepted so I can start whining about the three weeks I've been waiting

I should probably know this since I'm OP but is there an email address specifically for admitted students who have admission questions?

In via email this morning. LSAT and GPA > 75, applied 10/12. I sent a mini LOCI after their "don't worry reviewing your application takes time" email.

How long ago did you send in the LOCI?

There's only room for one Cuban at Michigan... Don't even think about it

Hahahaha verdad que si, es mejor no pensar en eso... you know how many people would complain about us at the library? "Why they being so loud?" LMAO

creo que hay espacio para 3 cubanos, no te equivoquen! para que tu lo sepan!

Y para una boricua también

Looks like there's a wave going on.. Did any of your status checkers change before getting the email?

Nine days ago.

Looks like I was the first to notify TLS of today's little wave. This has long been a dream for me, and I'm honored to serve.

Great, thanks! I sent in a "Why Michigan" on Monday after we got that email last week so I'm hoping I'll get a decision next week on that same timeline.

Based on LSN data, looks like they are trying to raise their LSAT median to 169. Darn.

If so, they chose a really tough cycle to do that.

I mean hell, I hope I'm wrong.

I think that actually makes sense given the increase in 170 scorers this year. They might be able to grab enough to increase their scores.

Probably not- that 170 scorer increase is not offset by the absolute decimation to 169's and 171+. Schools like Columbia and HLS with huge class sizes are gonna need to accept anything 170+ with a pulse to maintain medians (or reduce class size).

As of now there are 1019 applicants with 172+. 582 of those need to go to Yale/Harvard/Columbia to maintain their median LSAT. I think they can pretty easily do that. Stanford and Chicago already have lower LSAT medians, so they get even more applicants that can maintain their medians. There might be a tightening at the 25th and 75th%, but I think the top schools will be able to keep it up.

This post gave me the sad imagery of someone excited about their dope 170+ score but then died

Does Michigan give scholarship info with the acceptance?
