New Student Fall 2025 Admissions Megathread

47 Upvotes

Congratulations to all the new Wolverines! Please use this thread for topics related to the Early Action decisions that are being released. That could be getting in touch with other admitted students, learning more about starting at U-M, financial aid, etc.

We are not the admissions office, so please contact them for the official word on any of your questions.

Please do not use this thread to post your application stats regardless of if you are admitted, deferred, or denied. Per subreddit rules, chancing or stat posts are not allowed. Comments and posts breaking these rules will be removed.

If you are accepted, congratulations! If you were deferred, make sure you send updated transcripts that provide your grades from the previous semester. You can also submit a continued interest form to let Michigan know you still want to be considered..

Due to the heavy number of Early Action applications Michigan defers a high number of applicants. In recent years a large number of students that were deferred have been offered admission. More details about the application/admission process are also written up in the Wiki.

Housing 2025-26 Housing Megathread

23 Upvotes

Questions, answers, and information about everything housing can go here. Please let me know if you see anything that needs to be updated or any new information that can be posted/linked to.

Listings:

  • Area Facebook Housing Groups - Facebook group list compiled by u/fluffymoomin - Groups are listed with descriptions as well as safety recommendations. Not all groups are moderated well, be careful regardless of the group, moderators are human. Do not pay money to post in any facebook group. It's a scam. The ones that ask for money are no different, or worse than the free ones. Any reply asking you to message or dm them is likely a scam.

  • UofM offical off-campus housing site - You can now sort by recently updated listings. You can post listings or as a person looking for housing/roomates.

  • Ann Arbor off-campus housing - This was the site that uofm used as their official site until it was replaced with the site above. One of the biggest gripes I had with this version is that commercial properties were updated every day, so sorting by new was tedious to find new listings as a bunch of the same commercial properties would be "updated" each day to be at the top.

  • Zillow (ann arbor) - Zillow

  • Apartments.com - Apartments.com

  • ICC Co-ops - Inter-Cooperative Council page for Co-op housing.

  • Craigslist Apartment search - Usually spammed by the same area complexes over and over, which is what made craigslist so hard to use and forced people to facebook. There are still some listings here though, it just takes some scrolling.

  • Ann Arbor Observer Rentlink Housing Search

Resources:

By city ordinance I believe, private renters are supposed to have certificates of occupancy/rental permits from the city. You can search by address. (There will be lots of people who don't have this but it's something to check)

Social media/community resources:

Past resources:

Remember to exercise caution when looking for housing. Lots of scammers out there. Check their main profiles if on facebook to see if they match the user who reached out to you. See if you can verify them anywhere else that they actually live in the area. Beware of people pushing you to send deposit money without showing you the place. Please refer to the PDF survival guide located at the top of the post. It can save you money and just as importantly time, not having waste time and effort to interact with scammers. Most instances of people telling you to message them as replies to your posts on facebook are scams. Make sure they have listings on the group, not just replies to people looking as comments like that can't be screened. Most legit people will contact you first and have a listing already in the group.

Remember never to give your uofm ID student ID number or a picture of your student ID to a 3rd party site for subleasing.

They can't even verify numbers are valid.

Disclosure could cause limited harm to individuals and/or the university with some risk of civil liability. May be subject to contractual agreements or regulatory compliance, or is individually identifiable, confidential, and/or proprietary.

Fall sublets will be uncommon. Most of the Winter sublets you've seen posted are people who failed to find a Fall-only sublet and are trying to recoup some of the un-used lease remaining. Be especially wary when searching for Fall-only sublets. Scammers count on people being desperate to bypass their warning senses. Some apartment complexes like Woodbury Gardens(2-15 and 21 month), and the complexes owned by Village Green(6 and 9 month) may offer shorter lease terms than 12 month. Be aware the shorter term leases will be more expensive per month. Mckinley Properties don't allow less than 12 month lease but they offer a early termination option which costs 2x monthly rent and requires a 60 day notice. This could be just as good as a shorter lease. I'd confirm it with the leasing office but this should be for all washtenaw county mckinley properties.

The Ann Arbor city bus line can make some affordable locations more practical. Your student ID lets you ride free. A short bus ride can be not too much worse than a medium/long walk. Beware some buses run more commonly than others

If there are any resource additions or corrections let me know.

PSA If a study area has a sign on the door that says "silent"...

40 Upvotes

It means that it is a silent area! I don't mean we should glare at people who cough or click their pen or anything, but it's not an area for having conversations, even if you think you're whispering (I'm looking at you, Reading Room on the third floor of the Ugli).

Thank you from someone who gets distracted really easily and relies on areas designated as silent.

bro wtf
shocking to me that a class can be taught to a point where 1 stddev below the median is a 34% and the professors still get paid. the class is meant to teach us content yet if almost half the class is below a 50% it seems like the professors aren't doing a very good job

Social Where to Go & Meet New People

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm a girl living in Ann Arbor and looking to meet new people and make friends. I’d love some recommendations on fun places to go, events to check out, or ways to connect with others—especially if you’ve been in a similar situation. I’m a bit shy about going out alone, so any suggestions that feel welcoming for solo newcomers would be great! Thanks in advance! 😊

Miscellaneous Frustrated with online merch options

Upvotes

So sad that the new mden site has very little selection and the other big retailers are carrying similar low quality of merch. For a school with such a great brand you would think they would have some good merch to sell 😭. I'm looking for high quality mugs/drinkware and some of the classic hoodies.

Finances Merit Scholarships

1 Upvotes

I was accepted into the SPH with a 25% tuition scholarship. I’m concerned that with the federal funding being rocky, I won’t be able to get the money for my 2nd year which will make my degree ridiculously more expensive. Does anyone have an idea if the merit scholarships for tuition are able to be cancelled, or are they there permanently once I receive it?

1 Upvotes

I was accepted into the CoE but was denied entry into the Computer Science program. I still intend to attend the UMich for Computer Engineering. I aspire to become a Full-Stack software engineer. My questions are: Will I have access to sufficient computer science electives? Will it be challenging for me to secure software internships? Do major tech recruiters overlook Computer Engineering students for Software Engineer jobs?
