Early Action UM Acceptance Decisions Begin Today
My fellow MGoPeople,
Today is the beginning of the next four years for those high school seniors who have earned acceptance in the University of Michigan. Emails *should* start going out today and everyone who applied early action will have a decision by December 24th. I bring you this message, as a high school counselor, to congratulate those of you with kids and/or students that will get the fantastic news of their acceptance today! As an alum, I remember when I got my acceptance packet in the mail and how elated I was to go from a tiny ass town in Michigan to Ann Arbor. The best four years of my life were spent in Ann Arbor and it's not even debatable. My wife, whom I love dearly, still doesn't understand my passion for Michigan football and basketball. Even though I have tried earnestly to explain that it is something that doesn't leave you, even though you have left campus.
TL;DR - Congratulations to all the new members of the University of Michigan class of 2024!

And if you get deferred, it isn't over. Take it from somebody who got in after getting deferred originally.

And an additional hope added, even if you end up never getting into Michigan, you can still be a fan of the Maize and Blue and attend another institution of higher learning. Believe it or not, you can even land a great job with degree from another school. LOL

I spent a year at Washtenaw CC. There's always hope.

Seconded. I was deferred and had essentially decided that I was going to Penn State instead when my UM acceptance letter came through in the spring. Greatest day of my life excepting my wedding day and the births of my 2 kids.

the day you lost your freedom and the day you gained 120k in future debt x2?

Oh I remember that day!
Am I right fellow out of staters?

2003, recieved it in the mail.
December 18th, 2019 at 9:41 AM ^
I graduated from high school in 2003. Seeing that big packet of information in the mailbox, there was only one explanation!

Congrats to all the new Wolverines!
And to anyone who maybe doesn't get the best news in the world today, take it from me that dreams don't die in an email. Had a rough second half of high school and ended up getting deferred and later rejected. Worked my butt off at a safety school and made it to Michigan in no time flat. They just want to see that you want to go to Michigan more than anything else in the world

Back in the days of rolling admissions I received my acceptance letter on Oct 7th. Made senior year very relaxing.
December 18th, 2019 at 10:31 AM ^
I got mine about the same time. The first thing I did after breathing a sigh of relief was to throw away my filled-out, but never submitted, MSU application.

Have two kids waiting to hear. Wonder why UM strings out the notices. Other schools are able to give a specific day and time when early decisions will be announced.
December 18th, 2019 at 9:42 AM ^
Probably so they don't get sued for not having them done when they guarantee they would. LMAO!
December 19th, 2019 at 4:03 PM ^
Both were accepted, 1 LSA and 1 Engineering.
December 18th, 2019 at 10:26 AM ^
May the odds be ever in your favor.
December 18th, 2019 at 11:11 AM ^
I can’t help but feel sorry for this generation who will never experience the anxiety of going to the mailbox and knowing, before you even opened the letter, if you’d been accepted based solely on its thickness.
December 18th, 2019 at 11:55 AM ^
I was an idiot in high school and waited super late to apply. I was lucky to get in. Always apply early if you can
December 18th, 2019 at 12:02 PM ^
Good luck to everyone and regardless of outcome remember that you're life won't be irreparably altered wherever you receive an education.

Well my kid is only 3 so I have time. Ha!
paying for UM seems like the real hurdle though. Unless public schools become free it’ll be $80k per year by then!! At least
