For sure for sure... I recognize that every school has its mix of students--gunners, slackers, whatever. And I know that every school is going to kick our butts at one point or another. I guess I was just curious if anyone else got those vibes and are just shaking it off because it's UM? Or if other prospectives felt like it was friendly and awesome and don't know wtf I'm referring to. I mean who knows, I could've simply gotten unlucky with a group of students who I personally wouldn't want to study with lol

I felt a stark contrast in vibes between my interview here and my interview at Tufts. Tufts felt much more laid-back and friendly.. that school is very into student well-being. They even have a well-being course for D1 year. UM definitely felt more traditional, rigid, serious, etc. Part of that is the difference in caliber of applicant attracted. The entire UM class is made up of strong applicants.

The first point I made to myself when debating this was: what am I trying to accomplish with my education? I didn't come this far to look for somewhere I can clown around at. I want to be shaped into the best health care provider I can be, be exposed to cutting-edge research, provide for the underserved, and have opportunities for post-grad education.

Towards the end of my interview at UM, I started really talking to the other interviewees and dental students. I liked everyone I talked to! The people in the fb group seem awesome, too. I think it's more of a function of everyone expecting UM to be high intensity and having on their game faces. It's absolutely possible to be high-performing and also laid-back and fun to be around. I put my UM deposit down without thinking twice.

edit: Not downplaying the importance of student well-being! Very important for everyone to consider.

Really great points, thanks for such a well thought out response! And agreed, everyone on the Facebook page is sooo nice it's crazy!
 
So the next round of acceptances will be in February? Even for those who interview in January?
 
Interview #9 out of 9! This is so crazy, interview invitations to all 9 schools I applied to! So grateful! While Michigan is a wonderful school, I've already accepted another offer. I hope some other deserving person gets this opportunity! 🙂

When did you receive the invitation?
 
So today is the one year anniversary of my rejection from U of M (and UDM). I’m hoping I don’t hear anything today... I know it would be a sore subject, but has anyone else?

Still praying for an interview invite for the 19th or 26th.

I haven't received anything since 07/31/17 stating they finished processing my application and it was ready for review. ISS.
 
Got an interview invite for january 26th! Actually quite shocked given my stats and the fact I'm out of state. Probably accepting the offer from my state school so might not go to this interview.

Hello,

So, I got an interview for the 19th, however, I was wondering if anyone knew when they will let us know their final decision?

What was your AADSAS status before changing to "invited for interview." My status is currently "received/application complete" and its been like that for a while. I have above a 3.8 GPA and a 24 DAT, and I'm IS, but I did apply late so I don't know.

If you don't get an interview invite within this time span, you shouldn't be waiting to receive one?

Hey ruzzah, Munger is a graduate student apartment that's on central campus and it's about a 10 minute walk from the dental school. There are two apartment options: 6 person or 7 person. In both of these options, you get your own room and attached bathroom with a shared living area and kitchen consisting of 2 fridges, 2 ovens, 2 microwaves, fully furnished, etc. You live with other graduate students, such as medicine, law, pharmacy and business. 6 person costs ~$950/mo and the 7 person is $902/mo. This cost includes everything, such as rent, internet, utilities, etc. There's a built in gym on the 8th floor, study lounges, and some other cool amenities Munger offers.

Is that rate per person?
 
ruzzah said:
Hi another quick question- how does one go about parking if you live in munger?
Click to expand...
Most residents who have a car buy a spot from other apartment owners who don't use their spot privately. Also, I know of one who just parks on the streets for free, but you also have to be lucky and hope there are spots available. I don't think anyone bought parking from the university itself, and Munger does not offer a designated area to park.

Hey, did they mention at the interview anything about the waitlist? How many people are on it and how many spots are still remaining?

Hi!
For Munger, I was wondering if the rooms are sound-isolated? Is it harder to study with so many people in the apartment?

I would say they are pretty well insulated. Keep in mind that you are living with graduate students, not undergrads, so they do not make much noise anyway. My roommates are really chill and we communicate to each other when we have exams and stuff coming up so that they aren't hosting parties on those days.

Yes, of the 60 that interviewed after December, 24 will be given a spot and usually about 10 of those turn down the offer. We should hear back next week or the following. Good luck everyone!
 
I believe we all hear back final decisions (waitlist, acceptances, denials) the week of Feb. 5th
 
Also just waitlisted! I really hope there’s still a chance! This is my number 1 choice!

Did you interview? I never got invited, patiently waiting for my inevitable rejection lol

According to their post history, they were rejected after an interview 🙁 I'm sorry

The rest of us who never interviewed will have to face the silent rejection it seems
 
Does anyone know how many people are on the waitlist?
