michigan 2010 applicants Forum

Got the acceptance letter! They underlined "very" and wrote a note at the bottom saying my Americorps work was impressive. Guess it was looked upon more favorably than my good friends at TLS led me to believe. Unless I somehow get into NYU or Chicago, see ya next fall

Still red text for me.

I'm kind of confused about the whole admitted students site thing. Are people able to log in while their status is still "Complete" or does it change to something like "Decision Rendered" and they just log in before receiving the physical letter? Oh and can someone link the site?

I'm not gonna link the site but there are screenshots of it some pages back. Sorry, don't want to piss off Dean Z. I got on the site the 14th, my status went to decision on the 16th and I got the letter the 17th.

Do you remember when you got the email with the Status Checker information? If you don't mind sharing.

It's funny, I submitted Nov 9th, got the status checker over Thanksgiving, then again Dec 2nd (I know, weird).

That would be a safe bet. Three weeks seems to be the standard

I submitted on 11/17 & still haven't gotten the status checker. I was really hoping to get it yesterday. I did get an email to update my contact info because I'm an alum, but I don't know if that would hold up sending out the status checker.

BTW - even though I have a UMich ID & PW, I can't log into the law school status checker. It gives an error message, like I'm trying to access a nonexistant page or something. (Someone had thought that alumns could access the status checker early, but unfortunately, I can't.)

Also an alum and tried that yesterday. I too was disappointed.

btw, what do you have to update your info to? I dont think theres a law applicant option on the umich directory...

I don't really know! Most of my info in Wolverine Access was correct already, but I just added another phone number that I'd put on my application, so that the contact info matches the app.

Weird. Maybe call them? I don't really see what we can do b/c you can't change your affiliation at all (ie alumni, student, etc). that has to be done by them. and as far as I know they dont give you a new ID number or uniqname, so I don't understand why alumni are unable to use the status checker (assuming, of couse, they have recieved your application already and put it in the system)


EDIT: I just tried again and I can log into the status checker even though they havent emailed me with the link yet. So you should be able to log in with your previous Umich ID and birthday.

Their method isn't chronological according to application date, if that's what you're asking. I also submitted mid-October and have yet to hear anything.

Optional essays?

[rogerlodge]

No essays
No scholarship information, but wasn't really expecting much. Would it have come with the admission packet?

[mxc]

I don't think so. Maybe if you were being considered for Darrow, but even then, I think that is via a separate communication.

[thanksforthefish]

in via status checker =)

[GMVarun]

When did you guys who have recent acceptances get your status checker?

I got mine Dec 2, any idea when I might hear back? (I know there are people who have probably got there's before and haven't heard back ... I feel your pain. I've been UR at berkeley since 10/22). I am above both medians but not my much.

edit: congrats to all those who got accepted!

Question: Was anyone's email with the status checker delayed by more than a week? I called the admissions office last week about adding a "Why Michigan" essay to my file and they told me I went complete on Dec 9th and to expect a status checker email this Wednesday. It didn't come. Just wondering if anyone else had this happen to them. I'll wait until Friday next week before I call again. They're so incredibly nice at the office; I'd hate to bug them.

I called the admissions office earlier this month to enquire about the status checker. At that time, I was told that my application had been complete since 12/03 and that I should expect to receive my status checker soon. I got the status checker a week after I thought it would come. As next Wednesday is 12/23 and next Friday is 12/25, I think you should wait until 12/31 to call Michigan (if you haven't received your status checker by then).

I am just about to wrap up my first semester @ mich. Last final in less than 8 hours. Reflecting back on my awesome experience thus far, toplawschools came to mind.

Congrats to everyone who's gotten in, hope you guys end up attending.

Good luck to all of you still fighting, I hung in there till mid feb if I remember correctly.

In via mail, along with a personal handwritten letter. Surprised it came so soon... I am RD. No scholarship info. Is the consensus that that comes separately, though?

Hah-hah! Great username and avatar. Congrats on the acceptance.
