Notes: Thank you very much for your application for admission to the doctoral program in the Department of Psychology at the University of Michigan. The qualifications of the applicants this year were simply amazing! All of the challenging academic work and research efforts represented in the applications were very impressive. As a result, there are many candidates for admission that are very promising scholars; yet, we cannot accommodate all who are qualified. I regret to say that you will not be offered admission to the program this year. Over 1,000 students applied, and about twenty will comprise the entering class this fall. A major factor in admissions is the fit of the student to the faculty scholars we have in residence, even though many candidates show the dedication, achievement, and preparation needed to succeed in graduate school. My hope is that you will find a good match with another program, or another route to the bright future ahead of you!
