Re: Michigan 2011
In today! Way pumped. No email. No phone call. No status change. I just had a folder in my mailbox after work today. I also noticed my phone number has a / in place of one of the digits on the status checker. They included a flash drive, which is creative/cool.

Just got the WL email. Kind of broke my heart, but I guess I'm glad it wasn't a straight ding.

Wow, you guys are making me want to cry about my Stanford rejection, too. At work as well and have been feeling crappy, even though I saw it coming.

It is a really nice email though. I want to friends with Zearfoss. You know, in a non-weird way.

I think I'm going to stick it out until at least April 30th. My Vandy deposit isn't due until May 2 so why not?
Historically there hasn't been a ton of movement on the WL though, right?

damn I was hoping that perhaps no news was good news. But I got my status checker february 23rd so they probably just haven't gotten around to me yet.

Did anyone else find the waitlist e-mail a little patronizing? I am not worried that I could do the work at Michigan thanks...

I can see how it might come off that way, but I kind of liked the informal tone tbh. Made it feel like they at least really thought about me.chasgoose wrote:Did anyone else find the waitlist e-mail a little patronizing? I am not worried that I could do the work at Michigan thanks...

Re: Michigan 2011
"Let me acknowledge that your reaction to being placed on the waitlist may well be disappointment, or even outright annoyance. It may feel like a message that the Admissions Office thinks you're not capable of doing the work here. That would be the wrong conclusion to draw. Assembling a class is a difficult process, requiring a lot of balance and no small amount of prediction. And it does not operate perfectly..."
