How is a deferral possible in rolling admissions?? Does your letter then give another date by which they will respond?? What does it say??

By Rmehney (Rmehney) on Sunday, December 21, 2003 - 11:04 pm: Edit

A final decision will be made no later than Mid-April

By Jinhamasaki (Jinhamasaki) on Monday, December 22, 2003 - 01:30 pm: Edit

By Jinhamasaki (Jinhamasaki) on Monday, December 22, 2003 - 11:22 pm: Edit

A 3.8 unweighted is good, and your SAT score is above average. You havea big difference between scores though...

I'd say you have a good chance. I'm not sure how competitive their computer science is though.

By Subparasian (Subparasian) on Tuesday, December 23, 2003 - 10:25 am: Edit

cmon now! don't hijack this... measure your chances elsewhere... this is for people who were either deferred or rejected.

Hey ya, I applied Mid December. When should I expect my rejection letter? Thanks

By Subparasian (Subparasian) on Thursday, December 25, 2003 - 03:39 pm: Edit

It is rumored that they do it in batches, but i think about a 2 month(7-8 week) waiting period is expected. (Me and a few friends applied Nov 6 and got it back Dec 23)

By Peacemakeriv (Peacemakeriv) on Thursday, December 25, 2003 - 04:11 pm: Edit

sorry

By Gameguy56 (Gameguy56) on Wednesday, January 07, 2004 - 04:40 pm: Edit

Becks, also consider applying to UIUC, if you want to do Computer Sci, UIUC is just as good as michigan(maybe even better) , plus you'll have a better chance because you will be in-state

By Becks777 (Becks777) on Wednesday, January 07, 2004 - 06:03 pm: Edit

Yeah, i have applied to UIUC but the admission officer told me that they dont "consider location"- meaning instate/out of state when applying to UIUC. Is that true or she just said that coz there were several out of state people at the meeting that time

By Subparasian (Subparasian) on Wednesday, January 07, 2004 - 06:31 pm: Edit

It's probably true... because Illinois is not a small state (chicago, springfield, etc). State residency only helps if the public university has a shortage of qualified in-state students. In florida, for example, like 95% of the students are from in-state, so they definitely aren't short of in-state students, thus, residency is meaningless.

goddamn those adcoms over at umich are takin there jolly ole time on those apps. i sent all my stuff in oct. 22 and not a word.
