2023-2024 Michigan

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
ii received now!! not sure when complete (never received an email. i submitted 6/30 however i didn't get my rec letters in until like 1 week later)
Is your interview indicated in the portal? My portal emails are broken (had to work with IT to get the secondary) so I would like to know if I can just check the portal and know if it would show I got an II somewhere. Thanks!!

the email for the interview invite had a link youd click to access the interview scheduling page (i.e i dont remember logging into the portal) though im unsure if its unrelated to the portal. if anything happens just email/call them they're pretty quick and responsive

You usually can’t view it after submitting
Save your drafts on your computer, junior!

luckily for Mich you can. Log in, and you should get an Access Denied page. The second sentence of the text should look like this. Should be able to click that application portal text, click the View Form HTML button and view your submitted responses

😀 Thanks all, lifesavers even wo MDs yet! Guess I'm just bad at tech... will save drafts on my dinosaur device moving forward
 
First one on SDN with an IS II so far it seems...
They send IS after OS every year. Trying to get those high stat applicants to stat pad. Plus having an 80+ LM makes them high competitive at any program and Umich is gonna wanna lock them down early. They definitely deserve to be part of the first group.
 
potentially stupid question but for the interview confirmation page thing they make you fill out, its asking me to list the letters i want the school to focus on when reviewing my application. does my committee letter count as a letter i can use, or do they want me to choose from the core of my letter packet?
 
I am OOS submitted app early July but no interview yet. Is it likely that they still send out more oos interviews or was that the last wave?
They’ve sent out 127 interviews so far (almost entirely OOS) this cycle. MSAR states that they offered 300 OOS interviews so there seems to be plenty of OOS interviews left for the cycle

They will only review from 3 letter writers if it’s the same as last year. Trying to be equitable so applicants with a committee or more letters (traditional applicants) don’t have an “advantage” or more letters.

no i understand that, but does the committee letter itself (not the X amount of letters you attach to it, just what's written for that singular letter) count as one letter you can use?

As of last year, yes, so it should be the same. However, if you have additional questions or want to be sure, reach out to Ms. Weeks, she's incredibly helpful and responds quickly.
 
Has anyone that has interviewed yet have any feedback? Was the interview more conversational or formal?
 
For those who have interviewed, did you get an interview confirmation email or anything to fill out? Just want to make sure I’m on top of everything!
 
I swore I wouldn't post anymore as I am a parent of an applicant and absolutely do not belong here (please forgive me), but for the benefit of the group, my kid received IS II today, LM 83, complete 7/3. ORM. IS IIs have been trickling in since 8/21; more to come so I'm told. Below posted 9:49am 9/25/23.

If you promised your "kid", @LurkingMom I wish you would keep your promise.
If you only promised yourself, then feel free to break it 🤔 I guess?
 
I'm baffled. You know the lingo and everything. Thanks Mom
Re: the lingo, I'm neurotic af and have had time to study 🤣. I am truly so very impressed by all of you. In my day, it just wasn't this hard. I know you will all go on to do great things and will have plenty of choices come the spring! <<backs into the shrubs before my kid realizes it's me>>

does everyone that has interviewed here have some sort of pub/first author publication?
My guy, chill. I'm right there with you in the desperate wait for an in-state II but it will be hard to figure out and isolate why some are getting IIs (besides being rockstars who we are all happy for 😉). I doubt everyone has such significant publications, though most will probably have some sort research experience.

Interviewed last year with a first author pub and was a key talking point in all my interviews. Not everyone else had those types of experiences though, if you have good extracurriculars and a story that’s what matters.

I received an interview here with zero pubs. I have a few hundred hours of research but it was not a big part of my app at all. I hope that gives you some hope!
