You hear back by the end of the month after you interview, so probably next week. A’s are also sent out in one batch that month but you might not get the call at the same time.
 
Anyone notice that the admissions tracker says they’ve made 158 offers already? That seems to contradict a few things Carol Teener said during my interview day. She said that Michigan doesn’t interview for the waitlist and that everybody has an equal chance regardless of when you interview. She also said that “because of AAMC traffic rules”, Michigan would only make enough offers to fill their class until March/April when people let their acceptances go. None of these can be reconciled if they’ve already made 80% of their offers until April.

I don’t think you heard her correctly. Medical schools have to fill their class in April (ie have sent enough admissions offers sent to match their class size) via AAMC rules. Michigan typically offers around 350 A’s per year as not everyone who get an acceptance will attend. Either way there are still plenty of A’s, chill.

i believe historically it has been closer to 330, including those off the waitlist. Either way though, I agree that there are plenty more on the way!
 
So I had the chance to speak with a couple students today (M2 and M3) about some curriculum stuff, as well as why the pre-SOAP match was lower last year. @Mr. Macrophage answered the match question in the Emory vs. Michigan thread, so I just wanted to address some changes that occurred this year with curriculum.
Most notably:
- M1 is a true P/F, which is great woo!
- M2, which is the clerkship year, used to have an internal ranking. However, with the change towards rubric based grading, the internal ranking has apparently been removed. Additionally, the clerkship grading has now allowed for both medical knowledge and communication (empathy etc towards patients) to be taken into consideration for your final score.

Another cool thing - the post-rotation feedback is taken very seriously! There are several students who have had preceptors who may have graded unfairly, mostly in primary care specialties where stress/burnout are very prevalent, and have had grades reversed with enough evidence (typically, a bad grade comes from one of many preceptors, giving enough evidence that the problem was unlikely to be the student)

In short:

2019: 97% (The future of health care: 164 students graduate from U-M Medical School)

2020: Cannot Locate

2021:
98.2% (Class of 2021 medical school graduates: leaders during the pandemic)

2022:
98% (Match Day anticipation: medical students reveal their residency futures)

2023:
96% (It’s a match: Graduating U-M medical students discover what’s next at Match Day)

2024:
93.8% (The wait is over: graduating medical students find out what’s next at Match Day)

There were some concerns about the 2024 match rate. @feeling_tireddddd talked to some current students, and it appears that a number of students (16) discovered a strong interest in a competitive specialty during their rotations, which led to a change in their specialty plans later than usual. Unfortunately, this timing presented some challenges, and 8 students (4-5% of the class) went unmatched before the SOAP process.
 
any idea why the portal says not to upload transcripts? i want to show off my fall grades :/ do they want us to submit offical ones to amcas or something?

The transcript you have isn’t “official” and could be tampered with (photoshop etc), so they want it directly from your institution. Probably need to order official one from your school and send directly to Umich or through AMCAS.
