Just getting this started for all bound to A2 in the Fall.

It was my top pick and the first to notify, so my choice was easy...

I'll be doing PhD Communication Studies

 

Anyone else decided yet?

I haven't heard back from them, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Does anyone know if you have to get invited to the visitation weekend to be accepted. I'm hearing different things.

 

You are accepted and then you get invited for the prospective student weekend. That's what my acceptance letter said. Good luck!

I'm sure this greatly differs between departments. In the EEB dept we are invited to recruitment weekend with interviews, etc. Afterwards, we're accepted/rejected/waitlisted.

I'm heading to Ann Arbor as well! Looking forward to it. Would love to hear where people are looking in terms of housing - more expensive than I had anticipated given the midwestern location.

Yeah, please share any info and tips you might have. I'll be moving with my husband, a dog, and 2 cats!

Congratulations, everyone! If you're looking for housing options, Cribspot is an off-campus rental website built by UM students. We've created a grad student housing guide to help acquaint you with the local neighborhoods and get you started on your search. Then you can check out our Ann Arbor housing map to help you find a place. Good luck!

Thanks! These seem like good resources.

Officially going to UM this fall. Anyone moving there from the west coast? 

I was accepted in February to SNRE and will be moving there from Seattle.

Also, if anybody is looking for a roommate for fall, please PM me. I'm looking for a place starting in August.

I will be attending this fall and planning to move in around early-mid august (I am flexible on this)
I wonder if anyone made it to the recruitment weekend here? I am an international student, therefore it was not possible for me to make a visit. I am curious what your general impression about the city and the uni (regardless of the program) is?
Also, I am looking for a room, feel free to pm of you are on the same boat, and/or need a new roommate.

Thanx.

I just got back on Saturday from their recruitment weekend, and I loved it! Everyone is really nice, you can walk everywhere, and the city is just really cute. Central campus is really big, but really nice. Very different from what I'm used to, but it seems calm.

 

Edit: also, I see you're in anthro, so feel free to pm if you have more anthro-related questions.

Will you be in the PhD program there? I think your building is only 2 or so away from mine. I'm so excited to go to UM!

Yeah! I'll be a PhD student in their conservation ecology program. I'll be in Dana, so you're probably right. I'm pretty thrilled as well :)

Did anyone here get the Rackham Merit Fellowship? If so, are you attending the Rackham Summer Institute?

Posted

I got the RMF (decided against going there), but it sounds like a great program! I'll be doing the same thing at UCSD, and it's really a great opportunity. It gives you a headstart in research, an opportunity to meet people in other disciplines, an opportunity to adapt to the city, plus a pretty good stipend.
