<p>I received a deferral letter on Feb 4th and didn't get any further decision yet. I have heard about that there are three types of deferral letters that maybe lead to different results. I want to find whether this statement makes sense or not.
SO are there anyone who received an acceptance and had received a deferral letter before? and may I know what type of deferral letter you got? thanks a lot!</p>
<p>BTW, I received the deferral letter containing "it's still good news."</p>
<p>example:
TYPE 1:</p>
<p>Thank you for your application to the U of M college of LSA. we are pleased that you have applied and are impressed with your acheivements. however, our high application volume, coupled with the very strong credentials of our applicants in recent years, has contributed to an increasingly competitive admissions process. as a result, we are writing to inform you that your app. is currently being deferred for further review. </p>
<p>while this is not the answer that you were hoping to hear, it is still good news. your app. is one of a group that remains under consideration. all final admissions decisions of admit, deny, or waitlist will be made no later than mid-april 2010. </p>
<p>please refer to the website for FAQ's about the admissions process and what to do next. strong fall semester grades may improve your status in the deferred pool of applicants. therefore, please ask your guidance counselor to forward your grades when they become available. </p>

<p>TYPE 2:</p>
