This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
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?
Once it has been accepted. However, keep in mind that Michigan will accept updates but it likely will not have any influence on admissions (per the interview day)

Does that hold true for even people that haven’t gotten IIs? I feel like that is more of don’t email updates after interview bc it won’t have an influence on your post II decision, but not necessarily pre II lol.

I’m right, right?

Please tell me I’m right.

I am uncertain about UMich specifically. However, the ADCOMs on here tend to recommend only sending updates post interview, post thanksgiving, or on waitlist.

Anonymous dudes on SDN who claim to be Adcoms? 🙂 Don't different schools have their own rules and they actually lay them out on their sites?

Yes, most schools are fairly clear. Some are not. I have not checked for UMich.
 
Did anyone else receive an email reminding them to submit their secondary even though it was already submitted? I submitted my secondary back in August and just got a reminder yesterday.....The portal makes it look like I have one secondary app open and another one submitted. I have called and emailed, but I was just wondering if anyone else had the same issue.
 
You seem to be very knowledgeable of this process. Do you think it would be a bad idea to call UMich and see where I stand in the application process? I’m thinking it’s a bad idea but I’m feeling desperate :/
They will likely not tell you anything. If students could just call schools and ask “where am I..?” Then the schools would be INUNDATED with calls. Which is annoying and overwhelming. So imma say don’t.

Thank you Mr. Dr. Prof. Patrick. I figured as much.
 
I wonder if Michigan will start sending out acceptances tomorrow...at my interview day they said by 10/20 but that's a Sunday?
 
People talking about Calimed or Walter adding a dash of funny to SDN...meanwhile this person here been throwing shade since forever. I love it
Let me know if I ever get as out of hand by them though. Trying to find the perfect blend between respect and humor.
 
I have Case/cclcm, it is full ride and I would be doing myself a disservice by not seeing if my mind will change on Cleveland...but even if UMich was like 50% tuition vs full ride most places......UMich. I have only 2 other schools I have not heard back from though that I would interview at if offered, will turn down the rest.
Are you saying you have CCLCM admission?
 
Has anyone gotten a follow up email aside from the initial one they sent at midnight?
 
Carol working late nights for us lol
Legit though, Carol is a godsend. When all of the students were saying “You're here for a reason unless Carol made a mistake, and she doesn’t make mistakes,” they were NOT exaggerating with how on top of everything she is. Goodness gracious (in a good way lol)
 
Awful quiet here today? Anyone who interviewed hear anything?
