I am also wondering about this too! Also, why are some earlier applicants still under review while others have their files review complete? What makes some files require further reviews?
As relatively new students not on the Admissions Committee, the actual logistics of pre-II application review are still beyond what we know, but candidates are definitely reviewed more than once during this phase. Final decisions (post-interview) are all made on a regular basis at the AEC meetings, and generally updates aren't considered in this phase. A lot of the selection for UMMS is made during the pre-II stage, so it takes a long time to thoroughly review candidates (small interview number, but higher percentage of interviewees accepted, as opposed to schools that interview 1000+ and admit a smaller percentage of interviewees). Sending updates and expressing continued interest would be the best way to position yourself to get out of pre-II limbo if your file is still under review (updates can definitely lead to winter interview invites, even for those who were complete 4 months ago). I'm not encouraging 5000 people to submit updates this afternoon, but that would be my best advice if Michigan is your top choice school. It's hard not to be antsy, but we wish you all the best of luck with the waiting game!
11/15 and 11/22 are already full and scheduled, but later dates are still being filled/offered. The remaining interview dates on the calendar are 12/6, 12/13, 1/10, 1/17, and 2/6, and each day has ~40 interviewees.
Sorry, late to the game here. Where is information like this published?
You can download the powerpoint file from the Admissions website
This is awesome! Thank you!
That makes me feel better knowing about the other status too! This is my #1 school choice and I'd love to interview here. I just hope that they don't solely rely on scores when determining who to interview!
congrats!!!!!ACCEPTED!!!!!!!
How are you determining this? 1. Did they update it since I last checked (yesterday)? 2. Where does it say the # of interviews remaining?

It is newly updated as of yesterday. Look at the pie charts!
Yeah, their admissions tracker is updated. Download the powerpoint and look at the pie charts.
The PDF and MD tracker both worked for me.
We interviewed the same day 😀

Why does mine keep double posting! Grrr.
ofcourse not 🙂 there are so many people deferred or waitlisted (waitlisted people dont have as good of a chance as deferred people though). So, these people plus the interviewing ones sum up the total of the 47 remaining seats.
Ah yes. I forgot about deferred applicants.
That's sad for me then (IF I even get as far as an II!!) oh well--at least I have other options, I just really had my heart set on U of M 🙁
So that means there's 10 fewer spots for this year?
We also have several people in our class who deferred last year -- Michigan tends to get a very high yield each year. The target for # of acceptances is the same as last year, so it shouldn't affect things much at all (we had 347 acceptance offers in my cycle, and according to the tracker it's still 347). Not to worry. It's more of a tribute to Michigan's flexibility with each person's career plans, and their admissions system accounts for those who want to do an extra year of research, work for TFA, travel, or do other crazy things with a gap year. Some other schools are very rigid/less flexible with taking a year for enrichment after you've enrolled. Accepted students will all get an email in late May/early June about the potential to defer for a year if the class size is above 170. If it's <170, they'll turn to the waitlist and not actively encourage deferrals, but you're more than welcome to ask for one.
Thanks for the clarification!

You'll be invited to join the class facebook page and on there will be an updated picture profile! Also, there should be a link to the pdf on your application page
