<p>3 years ago, "deferred" basically meant that if you pulled great senior year grades, then you were in.</p>

<p>the past two years, "deferred" was basically a rejection. I thought over 50% of the deferred kids got accepted later on, but this year, most of our graduating class that got deferred ended up getting waitlisted or rejected.</p>

<p>Does anyone have any actual statistics? Predictions for next year about what "deferred" will actually "mean"?</p>

<p>also, is the rumor true that admissions is supposed to be a bit easier compared to the past two years for michigan?</p>

<p>I thought that next years admissions was supposed to be harder because there are more seniors next year...</p>

<p>Admissions were definitely more competitive this year than past years. I saw several people get deferred and then rejected with 1300 SAT, 3.6 UW GPA's.</p>
