***The Official Univ. of Michigan Class of 2017 Interview/Acceptance Thread***

well. Let's plan it out. They give out only 300 interviews. Each interview date goes thru 30 applicants. So thats 10 dates. So far they started on 9/28 and11/16 was the last one for Pre-Dec. So I would assume that they have gone thru AT LEAST 150 applicants. Since we start school in Summer, they will have to finish the interviews earlier than the rest of the DS. So your prediction of end of January sounds right.

So according to vannuilh, he/she got an interview for January, so I would PM them to ask what day it is. IT will most likely be the first interview date for Jan. Since they only send 30 invites at a time to fill up one date at a time, you just gotta wait one week at a time.

When I got the invite on 10/11 for 11/9, I couldn't make that date, so they told me to sit back and wait until the 11/9 date is filled with other interviewees, then when the 11/16 date opened, I got put in that date.

Idk, if any of this made sense to you, but You still have a chance, and I REALLY HOPE you get an interview invite!!! 🙂👍👍 It's an AWESOME school.

Yeup! I'm pretty sure they said they're only holding 2 more interview dates in January (of 30 each, for the total of 60 interviewees in Jan). Therefore, I believe they've interviewed about 240 for pre-Dec, and then 60 post-Dec.

Good luck to all! I loved the school 🙂
 
If you didn't get any responses from them, am I waitlisted? Does anybody know?
 
Have you tried calling?

Does anyone know if U of M wants us to participate in the AADSAS Academic Update or to send our Fall 2012 / Spring 2013 transcripts directly to the school?
 
I called yesterday. If you still haven't received a rejection letter, you still have hope. They will make another round of acceptance in January if there are any open seats after this first wave.

I would email Ms. Pattie Katcher. She is very responsive via email. I love UM faculty because of this. But if all your pre-reqs are completed, I wouldn't worry too much about it now. I guess as long as you send it in by May I believe.
 
I haven't posted it yet but I might as well now. Accepted to Michigan and I'm excited!

Good call. I'll look into it on Monday and let you know what I find out.
 
Did everyone who got accepted complete ALL the prereqs? I didn't hear from them on Dec 3rd and I'm trying to figure out if its because I'm missing a prereq.. 🙂

What is Ms. Pattie Katcher's email address? I am kind of curious about my status. Thanks
 
You can just email Michelle DiMondo, and she usually forwards it to Pattie, They all see your email when you email to Michelle. 🙂

The admissions office told me that they prefer transcripts to be sent directly to the School after acceptance. Submit Fall 2012 transcripts when the semester is over and Winter 2013 transcripts after that semester is finished.
 
Got the call at 8:02am on December 3rd and YES, i was still asleep :laugh:

See you guys in June!
 
I want to be clear: Didn't Ms. Katcher say it was more or less irrelevant WHERE the socio. course was taken? In other words, sociology at a community college is fine?

I wonder why they even bother with it as a req...
 
I was told that I can take the class at any college or online.

Yea, not sure why soc is a req, but I'm taking it online through a community college near my house.

Also, to all those who accepted Michigan's invite, I just received a package in the mail with a car decal and a fleece scarf! Kind of cute, and a nice gesture for the $1500 deposit, hah. It was postmarked for the 21st, but got it today.

Happy Holidays!
 
Has anyone started looking into health insurance? I plan on doing it through the School, but I haven't been able to find any useful info on the website.
 
The health insurance at the school seemed a little expensive. I would def compare online before just accepting the schools plan. The benefit with the schools plan is that you pay in installments spread over three dates, whereas the others you will pay monthly.

Agreed. Just saw the insurance prices today and they're pretty crap-tastic, especially considering they're supposed to be a "group rate."
 
Anyone know when the next wave of acceptances are going to be sent out?
 
Do you guys think it would be appropriate to ask Pattie if upcoming interviews are for actual spots or wait list spots? I got an invite this morning and I feel like the class would be full or very close to full by now.

I got an interview invite too...was yours for this Friday? 1/11/13? I am going to be OOS for a different interview and I don't know if I can be back in time for Friday morning.

Does anyone know if there is another interview date later this month??

I got the email this morning and the only date was 1/25 at 8:30am...In your case I'm sure you can work something out with the school they wouldn't make you choose between interviews (at least i hope they wouldn't lol)

That's so strange that we have two different dates given to us...especially because the email says that only one date is open at a time. I'll have to call them and see, thanks so much for your help 🙂

Thanks.

Someone said they will be sending out another wave by the end of the second week of Feb.

To my knowledge they have not accepted anymore OOS students since dec. 3rd.
 
I interviewed on 1/11 and they told us they would be sending out decisions the first week in february (this week), and I met a girl who was in the last interview group who also confirmed that. So hopefully we will find out in the next couple days! :xf:

I also interviewed on 1/11! I called today and was told they are in the process of reviewing applicants, and will make decisions within 1-2 weeks. :luck:
