The
University
of
Michigan’s
College
of
Literature, Science and the
Arts sent an email Monday to
prospective transfer students
congratulating them on their
acceptance to the University
and inviting them to LSA’s
Transfer
Student
Days
in
April.
While
normally
a
moment of celebration for most
students, the email was met
with confusion and questions
— students who received the
email had not heard back in
an official capacity from a
University office in regards to
their admission status at the
time of LSA’s email.
Addressed
by
Transfer
Recruiting
Coordinator
Kristin Heinrich, the email
was
reportedly
sent
to
prospective
students
still
waiting
to
hear
if
their
transfer to the University was
accepted or rejected.
“Congratulations on your
admission to the College of
Literature, Science, and the
Arts!” the email read. “I am
sure this is an exciting time
for you. Are you interested
in
learning
more
about
LSA? Do you want to meet
current transfer students and
professionals
from
across
campus who are here to help
YOU? We invite you to attend
one of our LSA Transfer
Student Days in April!”
Prospective
transfer
student Paris, who requested
to remain anonymous as to
not impact her admissions
decision, participated in a
dual-enrollment
program
through a local community
college and took a gap year
after that year. Instead of
being able to defer her
enrollment to universities
through
the
gap
year
program, she had to apply
as a transfer and was
waiting to hear back when
she got LSA’s email.
Paris said she noticed
the first email but then saw
other students replying to
LSA’s email saying they
hadn’t heard from the
University
about
their
admission status until this
moment — she was in the
same situation.
“I check my email every
hour waiting for colleges
to get back (to me),” Paris
said. “But I woke up from
a nap and refreshed my
email and saw two new
emails
from
the
LSA
College of the University
of Michigan. The first
one was ‘Congratulations
on your acceptance, this
must be a really exciting
time for you,’ and the more
you scroll down (through
the email chain) the more
people are like ‘Is this a
mistake? I don’t have any
official letter, my application
status is exactly the same.’”
After
seeing
the
email
chain, Paris logged on to
Wolverine Access to check her
admission status, which was
still unavailable at the time.
“Right
when
I
opened
it, I thought this is too
convenient,”
Paris
said.
“Already, going to Michigan is
such a dream that to just wake
up from a random nap and see
that I got in, I was like hold
on, I’m a little skeptical. And
to see that everyone else was
a little skeptical, I was like
‘yeah, I’m right.’”
University
spokeswoman
Kim Broekhuizen wrote in
an email statement the LSA
email was mistakenly sent to
prospective students and is
being handled by LSA.
“LSA accidentally sent an
email to the wrong group,”
Broekhuizen wrote. “(LSA)...
reached out to the impacted
students directly.”
