When you guys say that they sent you a package, what do you mean? I want to know if it's the same package, and how good a sign it is to be a recipient of it. I received a package that contained information about Mich, and a letter from the dean that had a "we love to get (my undergrad) grads!" I also received a waiver, which I know Mich doesn't do often. Hoping that I hear positive news tomorrow, however unlikely that may be when I consider the date my application went complete.

My packet had two info booklets (one was a 100 reasons you will succeed at Michigan or something like that), a note indicating a fee waiver and a typed note with a hand written message at the end directed at my interests.

Mine was the same as Abyss'.

I really don't think it reflects the likelihood of an acceptance. Those are generally sent out to everyone in a certain range of their stats, much like fee waivers. At the end of the day, your stats are going to be a much, much more reliable predictor of acceptance than will any mass mailing.

I forget where it says it on the website, but ive seen it recently... michigan said around 1/2 of applicants offered a fee waiver are admitted

As a Lostie, I'm not upset that Michigan's tweet about the Dharma Initiative has translated to more votes for that option.

Edit: conjecture

I've read that as well. I believe it is in the faq on the admissions page.

I'm convinced that my being admitted or rejected will come down to my "Why Michigan". Luckily, I think my "Why Michigan" is pretty damn good.

I was expecting to see a lot more acceptances today after the tweet yesterday... Is it possible the emails are automated and will actually go out tomorrow at 6am???

I'm pretty sure the emails are automated, but I don't know if any will go out tomorrow or not.
So far I don't think there have been any on weekends and tomorrow might as well be a weekend, so it's anyone's guess.

Fingers crossed though!

I am going to just sit here and gaze at this gif/post and all of its greatness.

Edit: I love how the link name is "THE-MORTIFIED-PUNTER"

Seriously? Huh. I've never heard of anything like that. Good on Michigan if that's the case. The more I hear about them, the more I like them.

That's what struck my curiosity. I didn't apply to Michigan last year, but they also did not offer me a fee waiver. I thought they were among the schools that did not offer fee waivers (unless you had evidence that paying for the application fee would be a financial burden).
