What's the process for finding out if I've been accepted at the University of Michigan after applying? Do they send an email or is there a portal I should check regularly to get updates on my application status?
After you submit your application to the University of Michigan, you'll receive an email within a couple of weeks with information on how to create an account in the "Applicant Portal." This portal is essential as it serves both as your primary source of communication from the admissions office and as the location for your admissions decision, so do make sure you keep track of the login credentials!
You'll receive communications through emails prompting you to check your portal for updates. However, it's a good habit to check the portal in regular intervals just in case an email goes to spam or gets missed.
Regarding the timeline, early action decisions are typically released in late December while regular decision results are mostly released in late March. However, the University of Michigan has been known to release decisions on a rolling basis within these windows, rather than all at once.
Take note that these timelines might vary slightly from year to year, always check the University of Michigan's admissions website for the most current notifications and dates. Good luck!
