<p>I am an OSS who was deferred. Looking through the threads I see lots of deferrals but no denials. Did everybody who didn't get accepted get deferred?</p>
<p>That seems to be the general consensus on here… apparently UM very rarely (if ever?) denies an EA applicant.</p>
<p>I’m sure there were people who were denied (the <3.0 UW GPA, few APs/honors courses, no ECs to speak of, low test scores folks who applied on a whim), but those people tend not to be the sort who are drawn to CC. This is an extremely self-selecting forum.</p>
<p>I hardly believe heard of anyone getting denied by Umich. Probably they just do not deny anyone in the EA round.</p>
<p>UMich just defers and waitlists all those who apply until they are either accepted or their applications falls into a black hole and they never hear back. Michigan doesn’t believe in “rejection”.</p>
<p>Guys, one of my friends was outright denied by UMich. Trust me, it does happen.</p>
