<p>for one of my schools (michigan) people are getting 2 letters</p>
<p>1="you're deferred"
2="send us your fall term grades in order for us to have more information"</p>
<p>which is "better," or should provide a larger sense of security? clearly, if the school is sending out to different letters to "deferred" people then there must be a difference between the applicants..but does anybody know what both mean?</p>
<p>I think both of them are essentially the same thing -- in both cases, they are going to consider your application further. but #2 is slightly better because</p>
<p>1) if your fall term grades are really good, you have the opportunity to increase your chances.
2) you won't necessarily have to wait until April like the deferred kids -- if they get your fall term grades in January and they are good, you may get admitted in February.</p>
