Hey everyone, I applied to the University of Michigan and I was wondering if anyone knows around what time they usually release decisions. Any personal experiences on this would be super helpful!
The University of Michigan (UMich) typically sends out admission decisions in waves, rather than all at once. Here's a general timeline based on previous years:
- Early Action applicants: If you applied Early Action, you should expect to hear back from UMich by late January
- Regular Decision applicants: For those who applied under Regular Decision, decisions typically start to come out in late February and continue through early April.
Again, these are just estimates based on past years, and the exact dates students hear back vary year to year. It's always a good idea to regularly check your email and UMich applicant portal for updates or requests for additional information, to make sure you're staying on top of everything!
