Complete as of today but not sure if it's been that way the last few days or whatever. I doubt there's any concrete information on when to expect a decision?

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... ring#gid=3

obviously its all anecdotal but there's a section on the front page that looks at average times between submit and complete and compete to decision.

Currently at 60+ days since complete. Guess I'm above average.

I went complete in October. Didn't hear back until last week! It's never over 'til it's over. I would highly recommend sending a Why Mich if you haven't already --- and trust me, it was the easiest "Why X" essay I've written this cycle. So many amazing things to talk about.

+ a million. I sent a late Why Mich, and I'm pretty sure that's what saved me from a waitlist/rejection.

In today via snail-mail! I had stopped checking my online status check. Splitter, went complete way back in October. Submitted app the day it opened.

Congrats! You've certainly been waiting long enough...

[Slytherpuff]

Complete at last. Maybe I'll be lucky and get a decision this month?

[anagram]

Is there any reason why Michigan takes so long to give a decision?

Went complete way back in November and haven't heard a peep, apart from an email letting me know my app hasn't fallen behind a couch or something.

173, 'above average' (int'l), no Why Michigan.

I have been sitting at "Incomplete- In progress" for about a month now... Although I have submitted everything. At what point should I start bothering the school?

and....still no decision. Yes, the "we're sorry this is taking so long" e-mail was very nice, but that was nearly 3 weeks ago. Getting antsy over here...

Same! been complete since the first week of October and sent "Why Mich" after that email. I really just want a decision

So I love Michigan Law's program and sent in a "Why Michigan?" only to realize I sent in the earlier draft...I was so that person and re-sent them the final version...

So embarrassed I guess I just wait for them to ding me now...

I highly doubt that. I found a typo in my resume, sent them a new copy, and still got in! If anywhere would cut you a little slack, it's UMich --- they are SO nice! I am positive that this kind of thing happens more times than they can count. You're human, you found a mistake, and corrected it!!

GOOD LUCK, TRY NOT TO FRET!!!

No worries! I seek to reduce stress levels where I can!

At least it was an earlier draft instead of a "Why Michigan" that's actually a "Why Penn"...

had my darrow interview yesterday -- eeeven more casual and conversational than the js1. really got the vibe that Mich is just as chill as the conventional wisdom suggests.

can anyone with personal experience confirm?

Yes. Michigan is very down-to-earth, collegial, and friendly. True across the board: admissions, professors, admin staff, everyone.

Gahhhhh congrats! I would kill for some sweet, sweet Darrow love.
Alas, I believe that I was accepted far too late to be considered.

looks gorgeous too... im just worried that there is a pretty significant tradeoff career-wise, especially since i do not want to practice in the midwest

Checking in. I received my status checker today. Applied 1/30. Good luck everyone, especially those who have been waiting for a long time.
