Your unweighted GPA may hurt a bit - 4.15 on a 5.0 scale is a B/B+ average? Course rigor seems great (this is very important for Michigan), and test scores also look good for the most part. Activities are good, but nothing jumps out as extremely compelling the way you have written it here. Michigan is a reach.

Be prepared to respond to a deferral with a compelling letter of continued interest.

Got deferred. Do you know if I’m still considered preferred admission to Ross with my deferral to the college of LSA? Also what are my chances post-deferral?

Assuming you are admitted later on, yes Ross will still recieve your application and there’s still a chance of being admitted.
