<p>Looks like you could have been a competitive application. Say, have you ever been suspended or anything? Is there a large amount of students at your school accepted into Michigan State University?</p>

3

<p>How late did you apply?</p>

4

<p>I applied in early nov and yes I had a day of iss. I have been accepted at other schools and it didn't seem to be a problem, is msu really sensitive to suspensions? </p>

<p>The iss was because I had an exacto knife.</p>

5

<p>Hmm I find that really odd. You have a really good application. Your test scores are amazing for MSU and you have a solid GPA. I guess MSU really does take the ISS into account and they really don't like it.</p>

<p>Have you contacted admissions to ask them about the ISS? Or anything like that?</p>

6

<p>I feel like it has to be about the ISS because I applied in late December, out of state, with a 3.16 and 1140/1800 sat 26 ACT and got in.</p>

7

<p>Don't be too discouraged, lots of people got "deferred" from MSU. With your current application I'd say that you are likely to get in with patience. It couldn't hurt to send in a brief letter of continued interest to MSU (addressing why you feel that MSU is right for you) that might tilt your application from limbo to acceptance.</p>

8

<p>Well I read an post on here that nearly half of deferred students eventually get accepted, that was surprising.</p>

<p>Though if you have such a bad record, that may be your problem.</p>

<p>hopefully i'll get in, thanks for the input guys!</p>
