Congrats to everyone who was admitted!! The FAQ of the admitted students page says that there is a UMMS Admitted Students Slack. Does anyone know how to join?

I haven't gotten anything either, but man, I am so excited to chat with everyone! You all seem like such fun people to be around. I'm hoping they send out the slack soon 🙏
 
If we already submitted 4 LORs can we submit mroe as an update?
“If applicants have more than 4 letters in their packet or submit more than 4 individual letters, and they are invited for an interview, they will designate which 4 letters they wish us to consider for the post-interview holistic review. Additional letters will not be considered.”

Also, LORs are not looked at or considered pre-II!

So, Michigan is super transparent and shares so much useful information on their website. I went searching and found quite a bit that I thought I'd share with you all 🙂

Interesting Data:
- Michigan interviews on average 457 individuals and accepts 371 individuals. The post-interview acceptance rate doesn't vary much between in-state and out-of-state, but they interview a lot more in-state than out-of-state students.

- The vast majority of interviewed and accepted students were complete in June or July.

- The average accepted and matriculated GPA/MCAT are about the same, but applicant GPA/MCAT is a fair bit lower.

- Over half (55%) of students receive financial gifts in the form of need-based aid (35%, $16,202 average yearly grant) or merit-based aid (47%, $40,191 average yearly grant). Given the percentages, it's clear that a large quantity of students receive both!

- Michigan is the only school I've seen that provides a match-rate pre and post SOAP (93.8% pre-SOAP, 99.4% post-SOAP). This is a massive deal, and it's great to see such transparency!
 
They also seem to be quite generous with merit aid which is super nice!
I have also seen/heard that they are relatively open to negotiation if you have other competitive financial packages, but would definitely need to get that fact checked
