Hey BrendonSW, I noticed you were from Murfreesboro. Just a couple hours drive north of where I used to live. I have many friends in that area who went to MTSU and Vandy. Super conservative, but super beautiful if you find the right group of friends. I'm sorry to hear about not having any luck with the re-review. Were you offered any other scholarships or special programs? I am too looking into other scholarships, as the OOST is a killer. I look forward to meeting you in the fall!

Hi BellSW2016, Have you tried speaking with Tim Colenback? He is extremely patient and helpful, and really helped to ease my tension while I waited on admissions and scholarship information. His direct line is 734-764-5332. I am sure there are plenty of students that will either be declining or deferring their offers, so I would not give up hope yet. I had my interview back in the end of March, had my case go before the committee about a week later, and received my admissions and scholarship offer about a month later (so the end of April). Although I was never waitlisted, the process was still very nerve racking. I probably called them 5 or 6 times during that month lol. IMO, they would not continue to waitlist you if there was not a very realistic chance of you getting in. But you never know, I guess. Continue to call the office (maybe every week or so) for updates to show them that you are serious about the program. Basically show them your in it to win it, wthout annoying them of course haha. I will keep my fingers crossed for you Hi beepbop. I am thinking of applying to the MPH program at Umich this fall, but have not completely made up my mind yet. I want to get a better idea of the workload that the (MSW) program entails, and of course finances come into play as well

Hey guys! Has anyone here applied for a re-review for scholarship money? I was granted $8,000 for the first 3 semesters and $15,000 for the last, but as an out of state student, I'm still not sure I can afford this! That is still almost 40,000 grand in debt. ? Also, I want to introduce myself. My name is David (obviously). I received my undergrad in Public Health from UGA, and have been living and working in Florida for the past few years. I actually applied to Mich on a whim, not really thinking I would get in or be able to afford it if I did, but after researching the program and finding out their macro based program is one of the best, I am pretty sure I will be in Ann Arbor this fall! I have worked in the SUD field for several years now, as through life experience and education, it has become a passion of mine. I've been a long time lurker on these threads, stalking pretty much each and every one of you for the past several months as I have waited to see if I was accepted. I somehow was about two weeks ago, and received my scholarship info soon, after. The tuition is daunting though, and I'm torn between going to FAU in Boca and paying like 3,000 grand per semester or coming to Mich and paying over twice that. But I came up to Ann Arbor for my interview and to tour the school, and pretty much fell in love with it, especially Zingermanns Deli. ? Anyway, I am quite sure I'll be attending in the fall, although I am waiting to pay my deposit once I find out a little bit more about other scholarship opportunities that may arise. I look forward to meeting all of you, and thank you so much for answering all my questions this past few months without even knowing it ?
