^anyone surprised? i thought that i would get flat out rejected! but i will take the deferral</p>

<p>arrrggg cant wait for friday and decisionsssssss... tho i know that once again nothing new will pop up on wolverine access</p>

<p>Wait, are you saying they only make decisions on Fridays? Because that would save me a lot of time checking Wolverine Access the other 6 days of the week. I'm thinking my decision will take 14 weeks (it's been 8 so far...). Just remember for everyone who didn't get a decision yet: It's better to get nothing than to get a deferral/rejection.</p>

<p>hahah my friend's app got finished 11/28 and she got her decision today...deferral..is it me or U mich not rejecting anyone ?</p>

<p>i had a topic earlier bout when decisions came out, someone said that htey usually come out friday morning at midnight.... and its pretty much proven cuz everyone alwasy lists acceptances here on friday, and yea the not rejecting anyone thing is bothering me too</p>

<p>Do decisions come out CST or EST midnight?</p>

<p>Yeah. I'm thinking most deferrals are rejections because most won't get off the list. Sooo I'm scared that I'll get deferred and then never accepted.</p>

<p>BTW...would u mind mentioning your friend's stats- the one who got deferred?</p>

<p>are deferrals sent via email or just snail mail?</p>

<p>Acceptances- online. Deferrals/rejections- mail.</p>

<p>per the complaint about rejections- I'm sure they are rejecting people, but it is unlikely that those people would talk about it... Also CC'ers undoubtedly represent a more dedicated and more qualified sector of nations college applicants so this is really a hard website to judge off of.</p>

<p>And as sad as it is, A LOT of people who got deferred last year were rejected in the end. I know the waiting sucks, but the school really does want to make sure they evaluate everyone completely and fairly...</p>

<p>They usually make decisions on Friday? I also received my admission email letter on Friday, midnight. Interesting</p>

<p>omg....im screwed then...i just cruised through my essay because i didnt think they would care....damnit</p>

<p>sooooo i'm guessing by the lack of posts that no one got in today?</p>

<p>What do you mean? Wouldn't people know by midnight if they got in? Didn't we just talk about this?</p>

<p>Okay, I don't know where you guys get your information that decisions come out on Friday mid-night, cause I've seen them come out on everyday of the week, ranging from times from 12 PM to 12 AM...</p>

<p>And deferral doesn't equal rejection. The "myth" is that 50% of deferred applicants get in. Though it's probably not that high, it's still probably above 25% (guessing here...). And as further proof, I myself was deferred mid-Nov (app complete late Sept), then accepted mid-December</p>

<p>So if I get deferred in January and they ask for my transcript when can I expect a decision by?</p>

<p>I also was accepted to LSA on 1/26. Got the e-mail, and just got a packet by snail mail.
My app was complete on 12/18.</p>

<p>People who just got accepted: Would you mind posting your stats and saying if your are in-state or OOS?</p>
