ok thanks! there goes that theory!

Really? All? That makes me feel better.
After talking to them, I was under the impression that all of the apps had this problem.
curious... For anyone who has actually heard from Michigan, did your app ever say Complete on the Wolverine site?
-
Thanks! (And sorry, I haven't heard anything yet but I doubt that's a good sign).
Where on the website does the status change?
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..
-
I feel the same way. I'd prefer an email blast rather than whatever is currently happening (alphabetical rejections? rejections organized by subfield?)
agreed... maybe they can't do a blast email because of the problems with the Wolverine site?
-
Mine does too. I'm still in purgatory at Michigan and UCLA too and refreshing roughly every 19 seconds.
only every 19 seconds? i'm impressed by your restraint!
-
Me too - and purgatory at Mich, but rejected at UCLA. ): I got the email telling me to check the website.
Michigan purgatory for me as well...

Hello. My handle is wemayet, and I am a GradCafe "search results" junkie.
It all started in the fall, when I was looking for application advice. I figured a little wouldn't hurt, you know? It didn't take long before I was spending most, then all, of my spare time reading forums. It didn't seem like a bad trade off for all the good feelings I was getting from what I was taking in. I grew to rely upon it. I needed it to get through applications. But even when applications were over, I still needed. I tried to quit cold turkey, but found myself going back for more. I think on purpose at some level, I had even lost my login for a while, hoping I'd forget. Then one day, I saw it. The first indication that someone from one of my schools had gotten an interview. That taste brought me back. Worse than before. A great hunger inside of me, I needed the information. On my tower, on my ipad, on my laptop... all browsers had a GradCafe tab. I'd hit that refresh button... dozens of times... sometime dozens of dozens of times in one hour. When I wake up, I reach for the nearest computerized device and hit refresh again and again. Someday, I hope to stop...

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

any claims for the UMich waitlists?
My hopes for Michigan are plummeting as I type....
-
also can we take a moment to appreciate how silly and old the Massachusetts Institute of TECHNOLOGY's application site is?
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...
-
does anyone know if there is a separate status checker for MIT? the original application website just looks like the application...
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.

Long time lurker here (for like... two years?). Am thrilled to claim a Michigan acceptance. Honestly, given my mediocre GRE scores I was convinced that I had no hope anywhere (had only applied to four schools to minimize the ego trauma). So glad that things worked out.
Don't lose hope, folks!!!
Congratulations!!!
btw I'm enjoying all the lurkers emerging from the shadows!! welcome
-
De-lurking to say that I feel like my chances for UNC are over since I didn't get asked for an interview. Does anyone know if they interview everyone?
welcome! I'm not losing hope for UNC yet!
-
I haven't heard back from ANYONE at all. Even schools that already put out rejections. This is torture.
This has me thinking of all the possibilities:
1. Low-priority rejection
2. Waitlist
3. "No funding" (torturous rejection)
4. They all just LOL'd hard at my application and forgot what they were doing afterwards
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?
-
Just realized that not all departments/entries are under 'Political Science' in the results listings (Maryland, I'm looking at you). Holla for more things to obsess over!
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?
-
Woah. Would you say that's because of fit?
back from the driving range already??
-
So has anybody's Wolverine access been updated - including those reporting receiving both acceptances or rejections? Anyone claiming the rejections? Were these personalized like the UCLA ones seem to have been or is it a blast?
I second these questions!
-
I got into UPenn with full funding! I'm completely shocked! Congrats to all other recent admits!
Congrats!!
-
Has anyone else (who didn't register this morning, immediately after we raised suspicions about trolling) received an email? I apologize for being skeptical, but I'm still surprised by how few people have claimed admissions or denials given that Michigan normally distributes notifications simultaneously. If I'm wrong, I apologize in advance but hopefully you can understand. We're all just looking for as much information as possible.
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!
-
my sub field is comparative, though the email came in a kind of generic format rather than from a POI
OK thanks!
-
Claiming a Michigan Admission!
Congratulations!!
what's your subfield, if you don't mind my asking?
