uhg - just got the official UMich rejection email...

ok thanks! there goes that theory!

agreed! best case, you wake up to a glorious acceptance... worst case, you stay up constantly refreshing your email in vain and are exhausted at the end with no new info. I defintiely vote for Sleep!

curious... For anyone who has actually heard from Michigan, did your app ever say Complete on the Wolverine site?

you can start a Wolverine Friend account, but apparently it's not really working anyway. My app (and others on here) still says "application not complete" but the dept has assured us that the Wolverine status is not necessarily accurate..

agreed... maybe they can't do a blast email because of the problems with the Wolverine site?

only every 19 seconds? i'm impressed by your restraint!

Michigan purgatory for me as well...

dying laughing!!! (and at work oops!)

any claims for the UMich waitlists? My hopes for Michigan are plummeting as I type....

haha i was writing my previous post when you posted this!! yes... i was very surprised by MIT's system then again maybe it was developed in house so they dont have any fees associated with systems like ApplyYourself, etc...

I don't know of one, but I haven't looked for one either. I'm guessing not though... their system seemed pretty bare bones.. ex. having to cut and paste the recommendation requests and send them ourselves; and cutting and pasting the SOP into a text box rather than uploading any pdfs... could be wrong though.

Congratulations!!! btw I'm enjoying all the lurkers emerging from the shadows!! welcome

welcome! I'm not losing hope for UNC yet!

well if it makes you feel any better, I haven't heard from anyone except for one rejection... i'm hoping that doesn't mean I was a "High priority rejection"!! I just really wanted to have an acceptance early on in the process to relieve some stress... but no luck... now i'm just hoping for an acceptance period -- anytime, anyplace, any delivery method!

very odd that no one as claimed a UMich rejection..... anyone? anyone?

politic*|government use that in the search field... should catch mostly everything... i hope!

so how were the Michigan rejections communicated? the board says email, but were they personal emails, or emails from a generic blast email acount?

back from the driving range already??

I second these questions!

Congrats!!

definitely a valid question.. esp considering how many people on here regularly have applied to UMich.... and since there has seemed to be a bunch of trolling this cycle.

does anyone elses's Wolverine Access page say "application not complete"? the actual app was complete, and I had called the dept to see why the Wolverine site wasn't updated. They said everything was received, so not to worry. Of course now I am worrying!

OK thanks!

Congratulations!! what's your subfield, if you don't mind my asking?
