+1 and I wonder how big the WL is this year if it’s not ranked+1, I didn't realize they don't offer relative rankings/tiers for the waitlist anymore

Our email says “ You are being placed on our waitlist now. Candidates are not ranked within the waitlist”.Where are you all getting the impression it isn't ranked or tiered this year?
I was waitlisted on 11/20 and my portal has said this since that date:
WAITLIST - At this time, we are unable to offer you admission to this year's entering class. You are being placed on our waitlist. You may check here after March 15th for more information about your relative position on the waitlist.
At this time, we are unable to offer you admission to this year's entering class. You are being placed on our waitlist. We appreciate your patience. You are welcome to update your application using this portal at any time.What does your portal say?
Had an offer from another school, notified UMich, but I still wasn't offered anything. I believe this has to do with UMich basing it off of parental income, whereas other schools base it off of your own income if you are an independent.Anyone know how receptive Michigan is to increasing/matching scholarship offers? Received an offer today but have a full tuition offer elsewhere. I really love Michigan but that OOS tuition is insane
not yet, been waiting to see my relative position on it i thought that was supposed to happen alreadyanyone else on the waitlist hear anything yet?
yeah no mention of it in my portal, just in my initial waitlist email. that's such a racket im trying to plan the next four years of my life rn any insight on my position would be helpful lmaoApparently they changed there minds on that. Check your portal, I bet it no longer mentions the relative position after 3/15 thing.
Aw man, really sorry to hear that Are you going to visit campus at all? You might be able to talk with their financial aid office in person and discuss the other financial aid offers you've been given. I know they seemed pretty stern in their emails about negotiating, but things can always change! If your offers are drastically different, it might be something that they'll reconsider. It's always worth a try!Got my financial aid estimate today and I am honestly crushed- it is a dream school for me but the aid they offered is pretty bad Does anyone have any advice for negotiating?
Also wondering this. Maybe they are underestimating aid packages to err on the safe side before FAFSA is sent out?Does anyone know if this is just a Michigan issue or if it has something to do with the new FAFSA calculation?
I figured that the people who received packages already filed FAFSA and maybe Michigan is just on top of it more than other schools. Maybe I’m wrong though.Also wondering this. Maybe they are underestimating aid packages to err on the safe side before FAFSA is sent out?
Yes, I already filed the FAFSA but they still didn’t offer me any financial aid although my parents are teachers who don’t make much.I figured that the people who received packages already filed FAFSA and maybe Michigan is just on top of it more than other schools. Maybe I’m wrong though.
This is so relatable. I know it may be different when I have that income, but seeing the number for loans is unimaginable.The question now, can doctors really pay off half a million dollars loans and how long does it take to pay it off?
Yes, I have been receiving the update emails as well. Have not received anything else yetFor those who filled out the Google form for other aid packages, are you all getting the emails about updates being released tomorrow? Have some been slowly trickling out or are all going to be released at once (hopefully) tomorrow
nothing its killing meHas anyone gotten any waitlist updates or heard of any movement?
I emailed the admissions office today. Will report back soonTrying to not be neurotic and be patient, but assuming still no news? Waiting on WL since October without the update in March 🙃
I did see that they accepted more than last year, so maybe a bit less WL movement? Complete conjecture though
CTE is 6/9?I called this afternoon! I was told they had not extended their PTE deadline (but who knows about other schools/how this affects them). When I asked when we could expect to hear something, she mentioned mid-June or July (presumably around the CTE deadline). When I asked about hearing anything in May, she just said she hadn’t heard anything from the director or dean about movement in May (not sure if this means up to this point in May or for the rest of May - though no movement within the month of May seems kind of crazy)
Not sure but that’s what I see when I google itCTE is 6/9?
Im guessing little to none this year? The combination of: no ranked WL, the email from admissions, and no word on movement yet has me thinking thatStill no waitlist movement? I wonder if they were able to fill the entire class without moving to the waitlist
You will get added to the Slack by the admissions team a few days after your acceptance. There is a group for housing and an excel sheet to find roommates.Is there an accepted students Facebook group/group me for roommate finding
