Is Michigan receptive to letters of intent? Would providing an update that a research paper I am a second author on has been submitted to a journal be worthwhile? Good luck to everyone on the next MichMonday!

The general consensus according to adcoms on SDN is not to submit an update for a journal submission. It's much better to update once the paper has been accepted/published. Just because you submit something doesn't mean it will get accepted (unfortunately). Good luck!

They have some really good financial aid and I will take that in to consideration at the very end, but if it is not an obviously overbearing load of debt (>250-350k) then it is very strongly a no questions sort of thing (if you are still reading UMich, more financial aid is ALWAYS appreciated).

Just to correct a minor thing, they go by U of M.

Does the University of Michigan send rejections during the week, or only on UMich Mondays? Or have they not sent out rejections?

I don’t think they really send out rejections until January

On my day there were only 2 as far as I know. Interviewed early September

 

[diasterdream]

Is there a point to hold out hope for UMich? Based on their interview tracker, there is less than 150 interview slots available. Complete in September.

I think 150 is still a good number. Who knows. Also, I dont think they review in order

[adventum]

not to jump scare people, but does anyone remember if there was a place to talk about gap year activities in the secondary or could i do so in an update?

 

[MontanaGirl2020]

doesnt look like they've sent any out today? their website indicates a reduction in the number of scheduled interviews

 

[premed20172017]

They're scheduling fewer interviews this year? Really? What was the reduction?

 

[MontanaGirl2020]

No but the number of scheduled interviews has been reduced by at least 10 since last Monday
Looks like people dropped their interviews

 

[MontanaGirl2020]

Wouldn't that mean that those interviews happened already? Like thats why they are no longer scheduled?

unlikely.

 

[mdloading]

Wouldn't that mean that those interviews happened already? Like thats why they are no longer scheduled?

no I don't think that makes sense because it's the total number of interviews given out (regardless of if they have attended yet or not). I would probably think they just calculated it wrong at some point haha. Probably just an oversight

I know there wasn’t, but I’m not sure about the 2nd part of your q. Depends How sick of a gap year job it is I guess

 

[Aktak]

So, was there no Michigan Monday today?

 

[diasterdream]

So, was there no Michigan Monday today?

Seems like it.

 

[Aktak]

Seems like it.

All day in class I began questioning whether it was actually Wednesday and not Monday due to lack of SDN notifications.

 

[deleted996731]

Lol just 6 more ii offered. Seems like things are officially in cool down mode

I’m just waiting another week and a half for CASPer results. I’ve got a good feeling for an II here!

I want your optimism!

MSTP interview received yesterday, submitted complete secondary on 10/1.

Edit: spent a summer there so they knew I was applying before my app was technically complete (was just waiting on MCAT)

 

[Etude No. 1]

complete 7/14 and radio silence...
edit: submitted secondary 7/14, submitted CASPer sometime later but not sure when exactly (never received an official "complete" email, only "secondary received")

I was a fool when I first started my application and didn't create/access my account correctly so now I *have* to open the link in incognito mode to access my application... do you think it would be okay to call the admissions office to check that my application is complete?

 

[Blue Lion]

I really thought we had a few more weeks before we started having single digit interview invite Mondays 🙁

 

[ochem_master2]

When should you send an update regarding a paper submission? Once you have submitted, or once it has been accepted? Also, should I take into account my authorship position when thinking about submitting an update?
