clearbluesky22 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Has anyone heard any news from UM SSW in the last day or so? Still waiting to hear....Thanks! I'm waiting too, it seems that they sent out a bunch of decisions last week, but nothing since then.
JTexas Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I applied the last week in November; application was marked "complete" on 11/28. (Looking over all the posts here, sounds like I was a bit late in the game!)

(Looking over all the posts here, sounds like I was a bit late in the game!) Well the good news is that they must let you know by March 1st, so if worst comes to worst, only a little over a month to go! I feel that you may hear back relatively soon though, as you only applied about a month after I did. What is your concentration? Best of luck!
Melissam5 Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Hey, all. I'm new here so be nice I got a really odd letter from U of M today saying they're waiting to review my application again... so I didn't get accepted. Or denied. Or waitlisted. Anyone else have any experience with this? - Melissa Edited January 27, 2014 by Melissam5

Anyone else have any experience with this? - Melissa Did you apply by Dec 1st? I know people who have had that happen in past years, who have been told that their applications have been "held". It means they are waiting to make a decision on your application until after the application deadline of March 1st, so they can see how you stack up against the rest of the apps who didn't make the early deadline. I know people who have been accepted after this happens, so I don't think its necessarily a bad thing. Edited January 27, 2014 by clearbluesky22
Flowerchild24 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I applied on 11/14, and my official decision letter came on Monday, but the unofficial letter came on the 19th. Hope that helps!
shambhala Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 I applied on October 31. I grew a bit impatient as I saw others who applied after me receive their decision letter. So I called the school and they transferred me to a counselor who looked me up and told me I was accepted and should receive something in the mail within a week or so. Don't t know if that helps, but that's my story.
jarenolds Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I got my unofficial acceptance yesterday and applied around the 22nd of November I think. I also applied to the University of Chicago around that time and am waiting to hear back from them. I'd really like to go to Michigan but all kind of depends on what type of scholarships they offer, it is pretty expensive for out of state students.
MissNatural Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 I got accepted 2-3 weeks ago. I am just waiting on the scholarships letter and then I will decide. Its stressful!!!...I am trying to decide what school to go to!

Blue Wolverine Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 For those accepted - What is the median GPA or range? Is there any info about this anywhere?
U-M_Detroiter Posted February 5, 2014 Author Posted February 5, 2014 For those accepted - What is the median GPA or range? Is there any info about this anywhere? The average GPA is 3.5, I'm not sure they have the statistic for median range available. They don't have a minimum GPA though, so if you have a low GPA but make up for that in other areas, you should be okay.
casualrunnergal Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 I got an acceptance e-mail from U of M today! Still waiting to hear back from Columbia, and I was wait-listed at Smith, so I'll have to see what happens.

I applied to UM on 11/28, but I still haven't heard anything.
halshima Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 I applied on dec 1. Still nothing from u of m.
U-M_Detroiter Posted February 10, 2014 Author Posted February 10, 2014 I'm wondering if they take longer to decide on advanced standing students?
U-M_Detroiter Posted February 11, 2014 Author Posted February 11, 2014 I' didn't apply as an advanced student . Ah, just a thought, haha. Have you checked on wolverine access?
halshima Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Yeah I check often. I called today and they informed me that they'll have a decision for me by March 1st. Its making me nervous.
JTexas Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Just got accepted! Found out by checking Wolverine Access this morning, have not yet received any emails about it, but WA stated it would be forthcoming. I applied 11/28.
