- At this point in the cycle, many applicants have submitted their application and are wondering, what's going on? When will I hear back? What's taking so long? In this episode, Dean Z gives you a peek behind the scenes in admissions and teaches you about Michigan Law's process in rolling admissions.

I think I’ve watched this video well over ten times just trying to not overthink while I wait. Go blue! 💙💛
Thank you for always being transparent Dean Z! Hoping for an A from UMich!
These updates make my whole day!
I think you should do a video on “yield protecting.” People talk about it as if it’s a thing. If it is, do schools do it begrudgingly or is it just part of the system?
Dean Z, I cannot thank you enough for making these videos. I found them very helpful, and it made me excited to apply to UMich!
Hi Dean Z (and Dustin, of course)!
Thank you for this! I applied mid October, and Reddit is stressing me out
Every time I listen to Dean Z talk, I think maybe I should add UMich to my application list. Thank you Dean Z, and thank you Dustin for keeping up that video every 13 seconds rate
Great video! Love the candidness. It is incredibly helpful to hear about how the offices work (and it makes me grateful for all the hard work you guys do!). How are ED applicants right now? Is there also a backlog? A lot of us (on the Reddit/in a Slack group) haven't received date changes/the rest of the little updates that might indicate something is moving with our application.
Dean Z will always be the real MVP.
Does Dean Z review every application? I love her she's the queen of the world!
I think you should do a app reading on my application from this cycle!
I think lots of us would benefit from a practical discussion on a future vlog how the applicants get sorted for review. In other words, is it done by a formula that somehow multiplies LSAT and GPA? Are they read from strongest to weakest? Also, do you believe T14ish schools engage in yield control and WL people who seem likely to accept a higher ranked school?
Thank you! One last OCD question… am I correct that law schools medians are based on the overall cumulative UGPA, or is it only the cumulative UGPA from the degree-granting school? In other words, no community college boost in the latter scenario from classes a student might have taken before starting at the degree granting school. Thanks!
Dean Z, you mention awaiting winter grades for some KJD applicants. What number is reported on ABA stats for these students - the UGPA at the time of acceptance or the time of graduation?
Hello Dean Z and Dustin and others, I hope you are well. I'm not sure if this is significant enough to warrant a whole video, and I know the answer is probably "get off of Reddit" but I'm a bit too far gone for that, but there is a bit of mythos surrounding things like "date changes" or even "addresses going long" on application status checkers. Would you be able to speak a little on the meaning of indicators like those? Thanks :)
