Dude that means I met some of you during the 1/14 interview (I wonder who's who though haha). Congrats to everyone who got in and rooting for the people who are deferred!
There is a Slack pageDoes anyone know if there is an accepted student group page yet?
Per the admissions director in the admitted students slack group: "We will be sending out our admissions scholarships via email in March. We do not have you apply for scholarships at Michigan, nor are they based on MCAT or GPA".Does anyone know how good Michigan is with aid/merit stuff?
Thanks for letting us know! How do you join the slack?Per the admissions director in the admitted students slack group: "We will be sending out our admissions scholarships via email in March. We do not have you apply for scholarships at Michigan, nor are they based on MCAT or GPA".

Np! You will get added by the admissions team, it’s not something you can look up and join. It was a few weeks after I was admitted that I was added to the slack group.Thanks for letting us know! How do you join the slack?
Trying to hang in there. There have been some recent updates to the acceptance tracker.How are we feeling my fellow deferred?
Prompted my question. I wonder if these updates occur before or after decision notification... Probably the latter 🤧Trying to hang in there. There have been some recent updates to the acceptance tracker.
I think it's the latter based off what I've observed!Prompted my question. I wonder if these updates occur before or after decision notification... Probably the latter 🤧
I can't see the CYMS tool at all yet.Are any other deferred applicants seeing alternate list on choose medical school tool?
I see this as well, but the Date/Time Received is when I received my initial Deferred Decision... don't think it's any further indication of our status. Also a bit confused because a different school I was WL at is not appearing on this tool?Are any other deferred applicants seeing alternate list on choose medical school tool?

Yes, they are doing a hybrid thing with limited in person visits and online eventsDoes Mich do second look?
Do you know the date?Yes, they are doing a hybrid thing with limited in person visits and online events
CYMS is only available if you have an acceptance. This includes if you have an alternate list designation.I can't see the CYMS tool at all yet.
They have four different in person visitsDo you know the date?
Have not heard anything… Debating on reaching out to ask when we can expect to hear a decision?Any deferred applicants hear anything? They said “by March” but I’m not sure whether that means mid-March or late March.
I’ve also considered. Seems like it’s gotta be soon, but I’m also terrified to find out.Have not heard anything… Debating on reaching out to ask when we can expect to hear a decision?
I would tell your friend to email the admissions directorMy friend currently has a full tuition scholarship from a T50 university. He received a half-tuition scholarship from Michigan and dosent qualify for need based aid. Does anyone know who he should email to try to negotiate aid. I think if he got a little more (10-20k) he would 100% choose Michigan.
nope, not yet.Has anyone gotten the email from the financial aid office to request our COA?
nope, not yet.
I received the email last Thursday.Has anyone gotten the email from the financial aid office to request our COA?
Haven’t heard anything. I figured it would’ve been yesterday but I guess not. At what point is it acceptable to call?Have any deferred applicants heard back yet? It's already mid-March
Nothing for me, got deferred back in November. My CYMS portal says Alternate ListHave any deferred decision people heard anything?
I think all deferrals do. We are supposed to get updates soon, but I thought it was supposed to be by mid-March.Nothing for me, got deferred back in November. My CYMS portal says Alternate List
Nope, I’m in the same boat. I really thought it would be today.Any word for the deferral pool? I feel like it is technically still “mid-March” but we might be approaching “late-March.” Or am I grasping at straws?
