Just because U of M says no, that doesn't necessarily mean the others will, too. There are so many X factors involved in admission, it's completely unpredictable.
I sympathize though. I got my rejection from Stanford tonight. With the wrong letter in my envelope.
Admission makes no sense, then. Arrgh. Why do we do it? Why do we pay these people money to jerk us around?
...Crimeny. I paid $70 to be rejected.
And yeah, I read about the letter thing--wrong name and everything. Ouch. That is like a double-shot of rejection. They not only reject you, they don't even remember who exactly you are.
I paid Stanford $120. Bastards. I sent them an email to confirm - 'cause yeah, wrong letter - and also to rub it in a little that they fucked up. I hope whoever stuffed the envelopes is appropriately embarrassed.
It's a small, petty revenge, but it made me feel better while I was trying to get over the fact that I am going to have to move somewhere it snows and where rock-hard avocados are $5 each.
And you gotta figure that money is going towards the salary of the person who sent you the wrong letter. You're totally not getting your money's worth. If they're not embarrassed... well, they really ought to be. Bad enough that you've been rejected, but to get someone else's letter...! Egad. That's hitting a new low.
And sometimes the snow isn't so bad. But there is nothing that can save you from overpriced avocados. You are doomed.

Is that anything like the Force being with us? Because I'd be really happy if the Force was with us. ;)
Ah, graduate school woes.
Thanks for the birthday salutation!

These universities are cruel. :(
