Got my acceptance from UMSI yesterday. But I've decided to attend another school that's more affordable and better organized.

Hey Congratulations on the offer. What course did you apply to at UMICH and what other schools did you get admit from?

[umsigma2]

Thanks I much! I will be doing the software development with UX focus. Also got admit from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign for Computer Science. Those are the only schools to which I applied.

FINALLY got my acceptance today! Do any of you know where to accept an offer, as I can’t seem to find where to respond in Wolverine Access lolll

Or perhaps it takes a few days for my status to be updated into the system?

Congrats! The acceptance letter says it can take 2-3 business days for the portal to update in Wolverine. I received mine as well today but I have already accepted admission to Simmons with funding so that’s where I’ll be headed in the fall!

Thanks for replying! Guess I’ll have to wait another 2-3 days then.

Congrats on your acceptance to Simmons too!!!!!

Does anyone know if there's any kind of groupchat/facebook page for admitted students?

I haven't seen anything, but I'd be interested if anyone else has. I received my acceptance a couple weeks ago. 

[Kellysususu]

I am just wondering if anyone got rejected or it is just letting everyone waiting for a rejection?

[Har5hraj]

@Kellysususu I was wondering the same thing. Really tired and pissed off at this point of waiting without any conclusive communication.
According to a post here, they sent out some acceptance last week on Friday, hopefully they'd do the same this week (Fingers Crossed)

Applied for Data Science track at UMich.

Got acceptance from UMich and University of Texas at Austin (only applied to 3 programs). Decided to go with UT Austin because of the overall cost and location.

When do the credentials for the Wolverine portals get sent and do we need it to know the response to the application? It appears I was never sent these credentials and I wonder, am I the only one with this problem?

Same here, but I guess they will post the results soon.

I see, thank you for the responses

Has anyone that accepted heard anything from the school? It’s been crickets. No emails, no mail… I feel like I should be doing something to prepare for the move. I don’t even know what day we register. I’m assuming that’s during orientation? Are there dates yet? I need to let my job know. I was accepted last year and deferred due to Covid. Is there a group set up anywhere? Thanks!

Did they send an email about this? I hadn't heard anything so I shot them an email last night asking.

I’m an international student so it was mentioned in the visa application documents they sent me.

Thanks. Is it virtual or in person?

I think that’s still to be decided. It is required that we “be present during the full week of orientation” though.

*Edit: They sent a new email just now regarding next steps. Check your mailbox!

Wait - this wasn't mentioned anywhere that I saw. Did it say anything about if we are unavailable? I may not even be in the country at that point...

It didn’t say anything about if you’re unavailable during the orientation. I suppose you could wait for the email that should be coming these few days to set us up for Canvas, or maybe just email the school to ask.

I missed my email from UMSI somehow, so after waiting more than I should have (partly my fault), I have been accepted. Has anyone heard about funding yet? Are there any groups of accepted folks w a group me or something?

All funding has been given out for the most part. If you weren't accepted in the first or second wave, the likelihood of being awarded a scholarship is extremely low at this point.
