Deferred in the Early Round? Prescriptions from the Pros

[Kristin.91]

<p>Dear CC member’s , </p>

<p>I had applied to University of Michigan - Ann Arbor through the Early Response program for Mechanical Engineering for fall 2010 and i have been deferred. I haven’t sent them any mails yet, but Michigan truly is the place I want to go to in the United States. I am an International and My stats are good according to my curriculum (Which IMHO is hard). I have a 1980 SAT score and I have held many leadership positions in my school and have written good essay’s. </p>

Dear Kristin</p>

<p>After multiple individualized and comprehensive evaluations of your application to the University of Michigan College of Engineering for Fall 2010, we believe that you have something uniquely valuable to contribute to our campus. However, our high application volume, coupled with the very strong credentials of our applicants in recent years, has contributed to an increasingly competitive admissions process. As a result, your application has been deferred for a final decision until a later date.</p>

<p>Your application will be re-evaluated, and a final decision will be made based on how your credentials and academic achievements contribute to the composition and quality of this year’s freshman applicant pool. All final admissions decisions of admit, deny, or waitlist will be made no later than mid-April, 2010.</p>

<p>Please refer to the website Office of Undergraduate Admissions: FAQs about the Admissions Process for Deferred Students for FAQ’s about the admission process and what to do next. Strong fall semester or second trimester grades may enhance your status in the deferred pool of applicants. Therefore, please ask your high school counselor to forward your fall semester or second trimester grades when they become available.</p>

<p>Be sure your U-M ID XXXXXXXX is on all materials submitted to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.</p>

<p>We hope your interest in Michigan continues, and you have our best wishes for an enjoyable and successful senior year.</p>

<p>Sincerely,
Theodore L. Spencer
Associate Vice Provost and Executive Director

<p>^^ this was my deferral letter. </p>

<p>What should I be doing in order to gain admissions (even though there is practically nothing) ? </p>

<p>P.S.- I can NOT retake my SAT’s since I have my final examinations going on.</p>
