Waitlist Frequently Asked Questions

First and foremost, be sure to accept our waitlist offer by following the steps outlined in your admission decision posted on Wolverine Access. If you are submitting updated test scores at any time, you may email your score report to [email protected]. The Admissions Team will periodically email waitlisted candidates with updates on the process and an updated timeline.

When you accept our waitlist offer through Wolverine Access, you do not receive a confirmation email, but you will see a statement in Wolverine Access noting that you have completed the process to accept our waitlist offer. 

We do not offer individual feedback. Often, it is a very small margin that differentiates being on the waitlist and being admitted. We typically offer a waitlist webinar for those that are placed on the waitlist after Round 1 and Round 2 decisions are released.

The number of students admitted from the waitlist varies from year to year depending on a variety of factors.  The number of people on the waitlist also fluctuates throughout the cycle as individuals' circumstances change.

We will make decisions throughout the admissions cycle. Applicants waitlisted in Rounds 1 & 2 will be reconsidered in subsequent rounds. If there is any change in your status, we will notify you on the next notification date via Wolverine Access (under New & Prospective Student Business) where you accessed your original decision. If there is no change in your status in the subsequent round, we will keep your application under consideration as space becomes available in the class. The majority of decisions on waitlisted applicants will occur in May and June but candidates may be admitted or denied as early as January.

Please be aware that if you are a waitlisted candidate who is offered admission, you will likely need to make your enrollment decision very quickly, usually within 48 hours.

Although financial aid consideration begins once an applicant has been admitted from the waitlist, we strongly recommend submitting your FAFSA information as soon as possible.  In the event that you are admitted from the waitlist, having your FAFSA completed will expedite the financial aid review process.
