So i sent in my updated transcripts (with increased GPA) and notified Michigan about them after that "please be patient email" hoping it would speed up the decision. STILL nothing. Complete early November and above both medians. I don't understand whats going on!!!!!!

Yesterday I got my big yellow folder with the flashdrive and a note from Dean Z. I can't decide if Michigan is seriously the best or if their Recruiting is just on-point. Either way they're doing something right and I'm feeling pretty good tbh.

Their recruiting is fantastic. I'm really impressed.

Hey everyone. I got a letter from UMich dated 1/21, but my envelope had clearly been opened. Was there anything in this other than just a one-pager about faculty/areas of law?

Mine was open, too! Like not even mildly open, but like ripped open. It had a one pager and a book about curriculum and faculty. I wonder what happened to this group of mailings!

Super weird. (Aren't you the fellow Coloradoan? Maybe some bizarre-o problem with the CO USPS?)

Mine too. I'm going to assume it was that crazy storm wrecking havoc on the mail.

It wasn't too badly ripped so I think it's just the one page letter and the booklet.

Mine was really badly ripped up as well, so there's no telling.

Same thing happened to mine. No postmark that I could find, but the ASW said they sent it ~1/15, and I didn't get it until 2/2. Had the one-page letter and booklet in an envelope ripped almost entirely open on two sides.

My letter was dated 1/21. But yeah, I thought it was very strange that both sides were ripped. I find it even more strange that so many were ripped and that at least both of ours were ripped similarly.

Mysterious Michigan, I guess.

Maybe a crazy party happened in the admissions office and the acceptance letters got destroyed during a sword fight then they were drunk sent by someone.

Or maybe angry ghosts or a bunch of squirrels in the campus mailbox. :wink:

See a lot of black squirrels these days around the suburbs and small cities just outside of Detroit.

This is probably a weird thing to admit but squirrels are among my top 3 favorite animals, yet I had never seen a black squirrel until you posted that picture so thank you for that.

Above both 75th percentiles, complete since early November, and haven't heard anything since their email apologizing for the fact that it's taking so long...

I don't have a good feeling about this :(.

I'm closing in on 60 and it hasn't stopped hurting, so I guess I need to toughen up...

Checking in! I've been following for a while but I realized I never posted my acceptance. I don't know the exact date but I received my big yellow envelope on 12/10 I believe? LSAT<25 and GPA>75 with pretty good softs for an undergrad.

Good luck to everyone! I know I wasn't originally thinking about Mich as a top choice but I think their recruiting has been so on point :)
