Hi to anyone reading!
I was deferred from the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor on the 19th. I wasn’t surprised but definitely very bummed as it is my top choice school. I’m making this thread for anyone in the same position as me, so we can talk about stats and share any anecdotal info from previous years.
Some background on me: LSA Applicant Undeclared
1510 SAT and 1540 Superscored (770 on both)
4.0 UW GPA
4.8 W GPA (The deferral letter suggested sending in 7th semester grades, and this is a 5.0 for me)
OOS from Maryland
Applying for Aid
IB Diploma Candidate
EC:
- Student-run countywide newspaper Section Editor
- Key Club Vice President
- Red Cross Club Event Manager in 11th grade
- Thespian Honor Society - inducted after participating in 6 or 7 mainstage productions
- Regional Student Government Elections Committee member for 2 years (9th and 11th)
- Worked during the school year and over the summer at an art gallery/camp
- Science, Math, Spanish, National Honor Societies but I only listed National I believe
Awards:
- College Board Letter of Commendation (didn’t get to include this in app, as I received it in December)
- National Spanish Exam Bronze Certificate
- Maryland Seal of Biliteracy (Will show up on my 7th semester transcript, don’t know if it did on app)
- I am 20 credit hours away from a special tassel for completing 260 volunteer service hours, so I will do this before sending in my LOCI
AP Exams:
5: Calc AB Subscore, Spanish Language, Gov, Psychology, English Literature
4: Statistics, European History, Art History, BC Calc
This thread is simply to share thoughts/advice and pass the time in this already daunting wait together! Thanks guys!
