So am I, you should have received one...make sure everything is up to date on your AMCAS because they said they send secondaries to "all eligible applicants"

+11 denied access

 

[twentyeightmiles]

I think they might not all be going out instantaneously -- someone got theirs a while ago, while mine was just recent. I was verified 7/5.

Mind sharing your stats?

 

[hoosierdoctor13]

Everyone REMAIN CALM. Let's go with Occom's Razor here. The emails might be sent out alphabetically, or totally random. Michigan doesn't pre-screen their applicants. Everyone gets a secondary.

[aaronrodgers]

They fixed it.

 

[Dr. Brightside]

Just got the fixed link! Ann Arbor native here, didn't get in for undergrad but hoping to get some love this time around.

 

[zasxd]

Anyone else still not have access after getting the second email?
Opps nevermind I guess I clicked the first link again

 

[cresent]

Best of luck, everyone. I got the secondary last night but didn't actually check it until this morning when I got the second email.

Same as last year but without the leadership one

 

[twentyeightmiles]

Mind sharing your stats?

3.99, 524. Glad this is the first secondary to go out since it's one of the only ones I'm already finished! Best of luck, everyone

 

[twentyeightmiles]

Also be ready to list three interests:
"Please list three areas of interest (e.g., symphony, orchestra, drawing/painting/ceramics, research in specific area, joint degrees, athletic interests/running/softball, ballroom dance, Spanish language study, international travel/work/study, etc.) you would like to pursue while at Michigan."

 

[Dr. Brightside]

Are you all putting anything for the "Is there any other information you would like to provide to us at this time? (optional)" Would it be appropriate to write a small "why Michigan?" essay or an adversity essay or something, or is it more for explaining something on your application if needed?
