"Look under your seats! You get an acceptance! YOU get an acceptance! EVERYONE GETS AN ACCEPTANCE!"

i hope it's a free shirt or something, but that would be quite expensive
 
Does anyone know the chance of additional student hosts opening up? I could stay in a hotel but would rather avoid the extra cost.

And the more and more I research this school, the more excited I get. Hope to see some of you September 9th!!
 
I went to undergrad here and currently do research for the UM Health System if anyone has specific questions about the area feel free to PM
 
Just received an interview invite. I'm so excited!
 
I've been under review since 7/10... does that essentially mean a rejection?

Not necessarily. Pretty sure they don't review applications in the exact order they were received. They just may not have looked at yours yet (or mine, for that matter) 🙂:xf:

I feel like they would have put us on hold if they weren't interested.

definitely reassuring. please michigan! :xf:
 
I would imagine that of all the schools out there, Michigan would be the one to look at received applications in order. They surely have one of if not the most aggressive rolling admissions policy.

In any case, this is all pure speculation as we are not the admissions committee.

FWIW It's been over a month since I've been complete. They have likely seen my application, and probably doesn't interest them enough to give me an interview so early. I do hope, however, that I hear *some* news soon.

they look at each application multiple times, if you're still under review, it's a good thing
 
Go Blue! Let's see some more interview invites tomorrow morning 😍
 
I'm from Michigan but I went to undergrad OOS. Does anyone know if I should submit an application for residency classification? A few of my friends were asked to fill one out when they applied to transfer to the undergrad school. I was wondering how the process worked for the med school (or if it only matters for tuition, not admissions, purposes).

I am in the same situation and asked admissions about it and they said you only need to complete the form after you've been admitted for tuition purposes. So you don't need to worry about filling that out now.
 
5 interviews offered this morning...but not to me 🙁
 
at least we know that progress is being made. I think I said this before somewhere, but this process has taught me about patience (it was either that or chronic panic attacks, so I chose the former.)


whenever you feel overwhelmed - do something fun! For me, it's exercising.

*steps off soap box*

and of course, best of luck to all of us!
 
Do you guys think that the school you attended plays a big factor in getting early invites? I am starting to feel like it might
 
Anyone know if it would be possible to have someone help hook us up with tickets to the Michigan Notre Damne game? I am interviewing the thursday before the game and would love to check it out... (yea I am guessing its a looong shot

Funny, my best friend (who didn't go to my school) told me a while back, "You'll be fine; they really like people from [my school]."

That said, I'm not too quick to mark school attended as the underlying factor in early invites. If it is a factor at all, it probably has to do with a school's perceived personality (as it may be reflected in an applicant, and as it relates to Michigan's). Just a thought.

Tickets for that game will be really hard to find or very expensive since it's the first night game in the big house!

yea I figured as such, and I am slightly worried about the impression I would give if I asked the admissions rep if they had any way to facilitate that.... I just have always loved Michigan football anyhow and to be in town for such a big game...

Awesome - thank you! 🙂

Anyone receive info on the Thursday night dinner they allude to on the website? Or any previous applicants know when that starts? I'm looking at a couple of flight options and don't know whether it's worth it to get the earlier one for this reason. Thanks!

Do tell about this dinner? I am hungriessss
 
Do you guys think the dinner option is the exciting news for all applicants they were tweeting about?
 
Yeah I think that's what it was. Pretty exciting! Now I just want an interview here even more 😀

Newp. They announced the dinner on the twitter and the facebook, and then:

"Just finished private team meeting-announcement all applicants will like coming this month!"

Also, they said "all applicants"... Hm.

Do you guys think there's an advantage to interviewing earlier at UMich, especially before the first acceptance date?

Definitely. Michigan is very aggressive with their rolling admissions. Earlier the better.
 
Hmm I am getting into Detriot at 9:15pm... Guess I can't make the dinner. 🙁 I wish I had known about this before booking my flight!
 
Any non-automatic interview invites recently? It seems too quiet... Something is up!
