Re: Michigan ED 2011
I got dinged at UVA about two weeks ago (177/3.1). People with my numbers all got in ED, but I submitted my UVA app early with the plan of switching to ED if I got deferred at Mich...I got rejected before I got the chance (stupid of me to not wait to submit UVA's app)Kabuo wrote:I feel the same way.

Re: Michigan ED 2011
Ahh, that's terrible. I had the same plan as you but luckily got my apps out later due to taking the Oct LSAT I guess. It's a shame they'd probably get pissy if asked to hold your app in case you don't get into your first choice and decide to ED to them. I mean, it's sort of a business choice for us and the schools.

I'd like to. I just think that because of how people have found out in the past (admitted students site a couple days before their checker went to decision), we'd have to have heard by now.

Got my "you have been moved into the regular decision cycle" letter this afternoon. Status checker still says complete. The letter was mailed on the 13th. Boo

I'm complete too, still.
If we don't get in tomorrow, will the status checker update to "No Decision, Moved to Regular Decision" tomorrow? Or will there be some delay?
Could one assume if they can't get into ASW by tomorrow that they aren't in for ED?

Re: Michigan ED 2011
I talked to someone at the Admissions office today and they said they timed the letters such that we would GET them by the 15th (I had a complicated situation with the package delivery system at my undergrad being messed up, and my being out of the country for the next couple weeks -- and I was told my admissions package had been mailed on the 7th, so I'm guessing that's when others were as well).treeborn wrote:michigandrew wrote:Complete here as well.

I see. Do they deliver the admission/ deferral letters to your temporary address, or permanent address?
I am at home for Winter Break, so will not be back at my temporary school address until Dec 30. I'm also trying to send an ED out to UVA if Mich ED doesn't show me love, so if they send the letter to the temporary address, any advice for what I should do? I'd like to get the UVA ED letter out ASAP, ideally tomorrow if Michigan doesn't take my ED submission.

Maybe admitted students website but I think the status checker has a special option for ED deferred which I imagine would change by tomorrow.treeborn wrote:OK, so what's my best way to determine if I was deferred, without checking my temporary mailbox? hahahAreJay711 wrote: They send it to you mailing/temporary mailbox

Yeah, I was thinking if I can't get in ASW by tomorrow, that would be a cue.
Also, the status checker does have that option, and I do hope it changes tomorrow if I am deferred.

Re: Michigan ED 2011
I'm deferred to regular decision. Seems like they sent out relatively few ED acceptances, lots of deferrals.

Re: Michigan ED 2011
I had a similar situation to the above poster (though I knew I was in through ASW, but wanted confirmation), so I emailed the admissions office about my situation (undergrad mailing system stops deliveries tomorrow, and I will be out of the country till January 8th, so unable to check the mail before then), and someone from the admissions office called and confirmed that I was in, and should hopefully get the package tomorrow.treeborn wrote:AreJay711 wrote:Maybe admitted students website but I think the status checker has a special option for ED deferred which I imagine would change by tomorrow.treeborn wrote:OK, so what's my best way to determine if I was deferred, without checking my temporary mailbox? hahahAreJay711 wrote: They send it to you mailing/temporary mailbox

They only have 45 slots for ED, and I'm sure lots of applicants. so don't despair guys! There are lots more seats open in regular decision.cortnf wrote:I'm deferred to regular decision. Seems like they sent out relatively few ED acceptances, lots of deferrals.
