<p>Obviously, a lot of us have been deferred. When are deferred decisions usually sent out? Basically, I want to know if I'm going to have to wait until April. </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Deferred decision </p>

<p>Question
After I applied, I received a decision letter stating that I had been deferred. What does that mean?</p>

<p>Answer
The University of Michigan receives over 25,000 applications for 5,200 spaces in our freshman class. As a result, admission is competitive and all applicants will not be offered admission. Students with strong credentials that are not offered admission on first review are deferred until mid-April, at which time final admission decisions can be made on candidates who were previously postponed.</p>
