Michigan (AKA Hogwarts) c/o 2016 Applicants Thread 2012-2013 Forum

[sitwaitwish]

Checking in! Submitted my application Dec 2. Haven't received a log-in ID email. The email said about a week. Did anyone else have to wait a little extra longer for a log-in?

Thanks! And Congrats to all admits!

usually takes a bit for your app to go complete. took about 10 days for me to receive mine.

Thanks! And hopefully you'll hear back soon!

I waited 12 days.

I've been complete since 10/29, should I be expecting a ding or holding out some hope?

I submitted 11/16, and I'm stilling waiting for status checker. Michigan and Harvard are two schools that seem to have completely ignored me.

I emailed Michigan a few days ago though, and they told me that my file is actually complete and in queue for review and that the status checker email will be coming my way this week. It's Tuesday today, so I guess I'll wait and see. At least they actually got my file.

Sigh....

If you don't get it by the end of this week, CALL. I called them yesterday and they told me if I didn't get my checker by the end of next week to call them again. They also mentioned that they generally give out status checkers on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, so hopefully this week you'll get yours. The admission staff is ridiculously nice and helpful so don't hesitate to call if you don't see any movement

Thanks! I'm definitely going to call this Friday.

Accepted via status checker this morning! Regular decision received about a 4.5 weeks after app went complete

At one median, above the other 75th

Heres hoping a few more RD applicants hear some good news today

Cograts! Makes me nervous though. I'm ED and i still haven't heard. I'm thinking of doing an email to the admin com just to reaffirm my reasons for UMich. Almost like a waitlist letter, before i hit the waitlist.

anyone else in my position?

Right here. But they have to tell us something in the next four days, right?

You'd think. Michigan seems to be really dragging its feet this year.

It makes me nervous, that is for sure.

Got my packet today. 2 gig flash drive? PSSSSSSH!

Had a nice handwritten note on my acceptance letter, but no scholly info. Did Darrow invites come in the packet, too?

No you get emailed. There was a first round already, but I imagine they'll do one more round for those admitted this month. There's an extra essay due next month.

Any chance a December re-taker could still get invited for the Darrow you think? My app's in and completed, just waiting for that score to get released.

I haven't posted in this thread for a while, but I just wanted to let everyone know I got Dean Scholarships in the mail. 10 000$ x 3. (168 3.92).

Hey guys.

Looking for advice based on those who have been following this cycle at Mich.

I have a 169/3.64 on file right now, but I also retook the Dec LSAT. There is a chance I did better on the Dec test but also a chance that I did worse as I am awful at judging post LSAT performance, and so for many schools (USC/UCLA/Cornell etc.) I've submitted my apps and asked them to flag it for review now rather than waiting for the Dec score (most have obliged), thereby mitigating the risk of a lower score and getting my app in earlier.

With my numbers, am I an auto-ding for Mich? And if you were me, would you submit now and tell them to mark it complete or wait and hope for a better score?

Graciasssss amigos

You're by no means an auto-ding. People with similar and some with lower numbers (I think) have gotten in. It is later in the cycle though so I don't know how that will affect your numbers. I applied with very similar numbers in mid-November and am getting nervous because they've sent out so many acceptances already. So this wasn't all that helpful, but I hope it gives some insight, anyway.

Just checked, and I'm in! 174 / 3.83.
Sent 10/27, complete 11/08.

Sad thing is I checked this morning when I got to work at 6:20am, and it hadn't changed yet.
Law school cannot come soon enough! Congrats to everyone else admitted!

Congrats!

Do you happen to remember what the "Last Updated" message was this morning?

[polareagle]

I'm sorry I honestly don't. I assumed it was dated today, but I didn't check very closely.

[UMich11]

think the rest of the ED decisions will fall tonight?

[DaRascal]

Desperately need this. Cycle's been bad so far. Have decisions been coming out every Tuesday night for sure?

[Paraflam]

Dean Z tweeted last night that all ED decisions will be finalized by Friday; everyone who is no-offered will be rolled into regular decision. I'm guessing I'm part of the latter since I haven't heard back yet.
