@poopyhead I got into UNC, which is where my heart was set on, and I actually officially accepted on Tuesday! So I'm officially graduate school bound. 

Again, I'm sorry. That's really sucky. Especially because they didn't even give you any idea!

Hey! Congrats! So you have declined your offer from Michigan? I got the email on Tuesday that says they have given out the first round scholarships.Did you hear any positive response about funding?And I am still waiting =,= for admission

Of course-- I actually submitted my application in late September (I think the 27th)! My recommenders submitted their recommendations by 1 Oct. However, I didn't receive an email telling me my application was complete until the middle of December! I studied abroad over winter break, that's why I wanted my applications to be done EARLY. Doing that, however, has made waiting a g o n y. I heard back from UNC in Feb., and Texas and Michigan on the 1st and 2nd of March, respectively. So Texas and Michigan had my applications for five months! I remember when I got back to the US, I checked my application status on Michigan's website to see if anything had happened... and it said that my application had been completed in January. Long story short, I think Michigan takes their sweet time. 

I wouldn't worry too much about it. I know a LOT of people are still waiting on their Michigan acceptances. I think the first round (that I was part of) is for the people that completed their applications early. I have heard they normally do three rounds. Since they don't have a deadline for their offers, this makes sense. Most schools do however... UNC's is 15 April (like most other schools), so I need to know about scholarships soon!

I hope this eases your worry!

Thanks for your kind response. That really helps!! Hope that you can receive scholarships and see you there in Michigan!

No - I submitted mine on January 15. It disappeared at one point, though.

Me too can't see the application link . Does it mean anything?? Which program did you applied to?

Hi magatay! Congrats! I got accepted to UW too. Do you want to go there?

I am in a very similar boat!!! UM is really expensive!!! I'm out of state, so two years there would almost be as much as my four year undergraduate degree from an in state school!!!

I would recommend waiting. Unless UW is pressuring you to accept now, nothing bad can happen if you wait. Just in case! I really empathize, too. Waiting to hear about funding has honestly been harding than waiting to hear of acceptance!

May I ask when did you complete your application to Michigan with all of your materials and LORs submitted? I submitted mine before Jan 15 and due to delay on my recommendations my application was complete in late February. Last week I emailed the information school and they said they are still reviewing. I really want to know how long this phase normally takes.

Which one do you want to go to? I was admitted to Texas, UNC, and Michigan (got in 2 March), but I am deciding between UNC and Michigan. My choice is ultimately going to come down to finances, so as of now I'm leaning towards UNC, but I'm waiting to hear back from UMich about scholarships...

What are you planning on focusing on? Is money an issue? I think those are the two most important factors to consider.

Hi Herringk,

I am deciding between UW and Michigan(though I didn't have the admission yet).If Michigan rejects me then I will definitely go for UW.

I want to focus on Children's services and technology if I can. I like Michigan but the tuition is so expensive almost twice that of UW. I don't think that I can get any scholarship or aid. Maybe I should just wait for the admission result before I make any decisions. But waiting is so excruciating:(
