I think this should also depend on what type of program you are looking for. DU has a much more hands on based approach with a lot of opportunity for field work whereas, CSU is research based. After going to CSU, I found that this would not be a program fit for me because it was very narrow in opportunity and doing work within the field. I believe they require you to take four research classes. Consider what you are trying to do in the long run! A lot of research based schools prepare you for further education whereas, activist schools prepare you for work in the field and the realities you will face. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!! It took me forever to find schools that would fit me best. After all of my applying, I wish I would have done a little more in-depth research due to looking for a very narrow field in my MSW. You will end up where you are suppose to be but think bigger picture and which programs YOU would best fit into! Hope this gives you some insight. 

From my reading, if your application status says Complete, they have made a decision. If you do not have notice on Wolverine then you most likely are either wait listed or denied. Wait list's and acceptances get an e-mail sent to whatever e-mail they stated on the application that they have reached an admissions decision (sometimes takes a few days to come into your regular e-mail after the decision is made) and it states the decision on there. Denials get decisions through snail mail. This is what I have learned from knowing students at UofM and from reading different articles. BEST OF LUCK!! UofM is one of the hardest schools to get into Even being wait listed is an honor. Ann Arbor is an amazing city, the faculty for the MSW program are top notch, and the resources available for any specialization are fabulous. A good way of looking at it, if you are denied from ANY program, maybe they knew you would not flourish in their program and that they do not have the resources to support your goals and future endeavors The waiting part is the hardest but take a deep breathe and know that you are not alone!!!! 

I feel your pain of rejection.
