urban_geographer_planner Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 For those who applied to UMich - I took a cue from last year's forum and decided to check Wolverine Access to see if my decision was ready, and lo-and-behold, it was! - the site says "an official admissions letter is being processed and will be emailed shortly" atlplanner, eastcoastplanner and planningapplicant 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stop making sense Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 Looks like someone has heard back from Harvard already, and given that last year’s decisions came out during the first week of March it seems like this week will be the week. I’m not expecting an acceptance but it would sure be really nice! TomorrowsParties, planningapplicant and eastcoastplanner 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also didn't give me a date that I need to decide by. The email I got just said "Let us know ASAP", which I thought was not very helpful lol. jade888, TomorrowsParties and oatmilklatte12 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericplans Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 ok, so I'm going nuts. Nothing much at all coming out of the two schools I applied to. Anyone have any sources besides TGC that you recommend checking for signs or signals of movement from specific schools? Applying for PhD here.
