Well, not sure what you mean by impact, but I was trying to gauge whether they'd gotten to me in the rejection pile based on completion date. Which I think generally follows pretty chronologically at the rejection stage. Thanks!
I think they only send decisions earlier if the 20th falls on a Friday, weekend, or holiday. You will probably hear right on the 20th.
I have a friend who was rejected pre-II today as well. Interesting to see that UMich is starting to make cuts. Sorry to hear about your rejection.
I am so nervous
Application complete in Mid-July. II on Labor Day for an interview in late October. I don't feel comfortable sharing exact stats but lets just say I didn't think I would get into Michigan in my wildest dreams. Fortunately they care a lot about extra-curriculars and life experiences lol
How'd your interview go? I just keep thinking again and again about my interview... It is possible to still do well overall if my application is strong but I screwed my interview a little due to awkwardness (didn't say anything wrong or bad though).?
I'm sure you weren't as awkward as you think! They know everyone is nervous and that is okay. I totally feel you though the month between my interview and my acceptance date was the loooooongest month of my life. I felt okay about the long interviews mainly because during those I didn't even feel like I was being interviewed. But I dissected the hell out of every thing I said and did during the MMI. I think it's hard to gauge how you did on those because you don't get a lot of feedback from the actor or other person in the room...I had no idea if I was saying the right things or was totally out of line.
I'm still an applicant, so take what i say with a grain of salt, but imo, in med school interviews, especially one at a top tier school like michigan, nearly everyone will at least do "fine". the question is who really stands out?
Makes sense... To be honest, I didn't think I would even get an interview being out-of-state and having a relatively lower GPA. I had a pretty crazy life and I think that might be what got their interest.
It sounds you and I are in similar situations. All we talked about during my interviews was all the weird and random stuff I have studied and done in my life. They seemed to care a lot about what I learned from those experiences, even if they weren't medical-related, which I thought was pretty awesome.
Yeah i saw that. Congrats to all of them.Some people are getting acceptances today based on UMich Twitter/Instagram
Btw dont get nervous if you dont have anything yet. From what Ive seen Umich undergrads seem to get the good news in person the day before the emails go out.Some people are getting acceptances today based on UMich Twitter/Instagram
They've been rejecting people this week. But they were pre-II, so who knows.
Merit scholarships are sent out April 17th I believe.
I believe it's actually March 17, according to this "Next Steps" web page! A whole month earlier than expected

I second this. The whole thing was low stress and a lot of fun. Especially the Untour.
I wouldn't underestimate it. While 60ish% is still decently high, that still means almost half of the interviewees dont get in.
I third this. Also at the beginning the dean gives a great motivational speech that got me super excited
Practice the MMI format to get a sense of the time limit. I had my friend Google a couple MMI questions and I did them in real time. The UMich career website has several actually. Review your application and make sure you can talk about everything on it. I know that seems silly but it is the easiest way to prepare for the two long form interviews. If you submitted your application months before your interview you might not remember everything.
Did you check your spam email box? Maybe you got something last week?
You're in, check your "checklist" in your portal. The actual notification was that video Carol sent you last week that I disregarded bc it seemed like marketing spam haha, so I'm guessing you did the same.
Eh. Shouldnt be much more than usual. About 60% post-II acceptance still adds up.
