2020-2021 Michigan

Well i guess you know better than UMich Medical school that decided to publish and more transparent that way than other SOMs.

Yes, I do. In fact, nobody knows better than me what information I will find useful. As transparent as some of the information they present is, providing 5 year averages only masks more recent data; it does nothing to clarify it. In breaking down the number of applications, interviews offered, or acceptances by school, the average has value because the numbers are relatively small and the average smooths out yearly fluctuations. For the total applications, interviews and acceptances, the average only obscures the numbers that are most valuable, which are the annual numbers, not 5 year averages.

For anyone paying attention who realizes the numbers only go up each year, presenting averages is not helpful. It only makes year to year comparisons more difficult, and there is little value to the average, because, as I said before, admission stats that are so old that they include the class that just graduated really have no relevance to me as a current or future applicant. But, you should feel free to enjoy them.

sounds like, UMich Medical school is not considerate of you (N=1).

Yeah -- I'd be in great shape if this were my biggest problem with the UMich admission process as a prospective OOS candidate! But, this is about your using a bad metric to calculate application increases, not their decision to mask their current numbers on the website (which by the way, we can get from MSAR when published!!!).

 

[HopeP]

this is about your using a bad metric to calculate application increases

You are getting ridiculous at this point, it is your desire to drive more YoY numbers that I didn't even mentioned. If you lack intellect to interpret posted metric correctly, onus is on you, if you spin it to justify your position, onus is on you. You remind me of another individual by name memelord or something like that last year, who eventually got banned due to toxic nature..

GREAT point!!!! So, applications are up 13% over last year's 5 year average. What is anyone supposed to do with this information??? I didn't post this -- you did! Why???

Yes, I'm the one who lacks the intellect to interpret data!!!

And you remind me of some over involved parent who is so desperate to be part of the conversation that he just posts non-sequiturs all over the place because he has no clue as to what is relevant and what isn't.

Dude, give it a rest

That is upto an individual how to interpret it with their best ability. If it is misunderstood and misinterpreted, it doesn't make it invalid information.

I didn't post this -- you did! Why???

Did I stop you posting anything? Yet, you question someone about their motive. Stop looking everything as others have malicious intent. And I don't want to turn this thread into another . So I end this conversation here at this point.

When they go low, you go high. End of conversation,

On a very different note...... if tomorrow is Labor Day, do we think they'll still send out IIs?

No -- this was already established by looking at last year's thread, and, if you can get past all the noise here, there was a post on Friday linking a UMich social media post telling everyone to chill until next week.

unsure what "chill" means but Ill try my best

 

[SpreadKindness20]

Dang :/ It kind of sucks for people who wait for committee letters tho. I submitted in July but my school took FOREVER to send my letters, which were finally received mid-August :/

I believe Michigan will start reviewing an application even if the committee letter is not yet in, if the letter is the last pending item in the file. In fact, they've said they'll sometimes even extend an II to an applicant before his/her LORs are in.

At Michigan, the early bird gets the worm, and they've indicated no interest in deviating from this practice even in light of COVID. So, take from that what you will.

It means try to enjoy the holiday!!

 

[babygreenbeans]

[nightwalker444]

lol you funny, pushing buttons here..
Edit: 2 II claims so far, this is very difficult for asymptomatic applicants.
Edit 2: Twitter has official announcement, UMich played well.

I just received an interview invitation, but when I went to scheduling, there was only one date available in mid-October. Is that normal? Did all the other time slots fill up? Or is there meant to be only one option?

[medemac]

So when they said they're taking a break, I guess they meant they're just doing it on Tuesday? lmao

I still hope I'm "one heck of an applicant, eh"
(tbh probably wouldn't have believed myself either)

 

[HopeP]

congrats to all IIs today, as usual if you can share stats, IS/OOS, URM/ORM and whatever else.

Lol people are bitter. Im so happy for your interview!! i think Umich only offers a day for interviews!

I don’t have one yet and it does make me feel a bit unnerved but I can’t understand why people think hating on others or putting negativity out will increase your own chances to get one. Lets lift each other up please!!

Some might say exceptional.

Congrats to the Mitch Tuesday winners 2020 , I hope 10% of you get in and the other 90 get in somewhere.

Looks like nine people aren't getting IIs, including myself /s. Tbh those type of posts are the reason I deleted Facebook.

To be fair the tweet hasn’t gone out yet so I’ll be over here telling myself I’ll get one

 

[mammd2021]

tweet is out they sent out 13 interviews

 

[saltedcaramelfrapp]

Only 13 today so that makes me feel slightly better about not getting one

 

[SnoBerry Peace Tea]

well only another week until next #UMichMedMonday

 

[ripmysociallife]

I wonder why they sent out so few today

 

[mammd2021]

shorter work week due to Labor Day maybe? tbh just a guess
