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

[Thelaw23]

This is probably just me being paranoid, but I'm getting worried I was YP'ed or something....I'm above both 75ths.

App was submitted on 10/19, but not sure when it went complete because there were some problems with my status checker. It was definitely complete by 11/6, though.

Someone tell me I'm overreacting that I haven't heard back yet

Sounds like you definitely might be YPed. Look on LSN, they waitlisted a ton of people over 75ths last year.

And I'm in the same boat as you. Above 75ths and radio silence since submission in Sept.

Same here. Was already YP'ed by Duke and Virginia, or maybe something is terribly wrong with my app, idk. Lsat>75ths for all those schools, GPA hovering at the 25th or a tiny bit below.

well, we've got some conflicting levels of comfort, here, but I still appreciate all the speculation. I shall continue waiting...

Regarding the YP worry, did you write a Why Mich?

Regarding the YP worry, did you write a Why Mich?

Yes, I did. Worried that it wasn't convincing enough, though, because I didn't spend 5 hours browsing this forum beforehand to see how intense people get about their Why X essays...

[brinicolec]

I'm not an early bird. But I submitted my application around 11/12. But as of today 11/29, my status is still "incomplete- in process". Does this sound right?

I submitted about a week ago and am also incomplete - in process. I think you're fine.

I wouldn't get too worried yet. It seems like late-Oct. applicants are just now getting responses for the most part.

So you've been confirmed WL'ed at Duke and UVA? I didn't even know Duke engaged in those shenanigans.

I didn't write a Why essay for either. Duke put me priority reserve and UVA waitlisted me, yeah.

Well, without the Why essays, you might've shot yourself in the foot a little, especially because UVA seems pretty YP-averse.

I thought my LSAT score would make everyone love me, but I was wrong

Makes no sense why you'd be YP'ed unless you didn't write the Why Michigan because I had >> 75s for both.

To be fair, is it really YP if you're not above both 75ths, or even above median for both stats?

Same boat as you all. Above both 75ths, applied 10/12, silence.

[Thelaw23]

I think when you have 75> for both, then they can entice you with large scholarships and that stuff. Since I'm a splitter LSAT>75 but gpa=25 or a bit lower than 25, then they can't offer me those kind of scholarships.

If I put my stats into the LSAC calculator, I have a higher chance of getting into Harvard than UVA.

Also the cycle might just be very erratic for splitters, I don't know. I do regret not writing the why essays, though.

[Why???]

Same above or at 75ths and complete silence since complete

[yuppitsme]

In this morning via Email! Super Excited!!
GPA<25th LSAT=75th
Didn't write a Why Mich
Complete 11/11
(Hope this helps)

[Aquinas]

For what it's worth, I'm also above 75ths, and have yet to hear anything. Applied 10/25, went complete 10/31.Definitely feel the pain of those in a similar boat.

Would it be weird to send in a Why Michigan essay at this point in the cycle? I think I do have some decently compelling reasons for being interested in Michigan, some of which were not factors at the time I initially applied (namely, that my girlfriend got into Med School there and will probably be attending next year)...

Good to know info, just received from UM:

"Michigan Law provides a significant amount of grant aid to incoming students every year. You will be automatically considered for merit grants based on the information provided at the time you applied; we begin making the bulk of our decisions in January, and by the end of January, will be on track to let awardees know within two weeks of their offer; no separate application is necessary."

[airwrecka]

Well, my anxious posting in this thread must have tipped off the admissions dept. In this AM via e-mail

That is good to know! Yay! Also, the e-mail was weird. But mostly it made me smile & laugh, so I don't mind.

Yeah. I've liked all of their communication efforts so far. It's actually what made me start to think a few years in Michigan might not be terrible
