I thought this would be a nice discussion to start. Being that Michigan is my top school and I just got deferred I though it would be nice to hear some encouragement and constructive criticisms from some other deferred students. I know it’s not the worst news possible, but it difficult to know how to feel at a time as stressful as our senior year. I think this discussion could be very beneficial to some people, especially me.
Same. My top school. A little disheartened (although I totally expected to be deferred). Kinda annoyed to be dragged through the mud all this way just to be deferred.
I agree and then to have to wait another month at least is very disheartening with all the anticipation.
same here. don’t know how to describe my feelings now. Does anyone know how much percent of the pool is deferred? Does the newest grade report really work? really hope to get in
@UofMorMSU I agree. I always just thought I would be rejected, so I guess this outcome is slightly better. However, I can’t help but think about April. What if I don’t get and I will have waisted so much time worrying.
Same here. We have a while until we find out what our final admission decision will be. I wish you all the best and I hope we all get the letter that’ll bring huge smiles to our faces! There’s not much we can do at this point. I’m trying to be positive but this is hard. At least we’re almost 2nd semester seniors! I’ll be waiting to hear from Michigan. Hoping for the best.
@aao2021 You said " to wait another month at least" … do you think UMich will reply as the decisions are made. I’m not sure how all this works, my apologies.
@koala888 You are so right! My mum keeps telling me that worrying won’t do anything, that I have to let my application speak for itself. I wish I could be that calm, but it’s difficult.
My son was deferred around this same time last year and ultimately got denied in March. My daughter just got deferred today (30 ACT, 4.4 weighted GPA). A friend who did not apply early action last year, and had lower stats than my daughter (28 ACT , 4.1 gpa) was admitted but not notified until April 7th ; so it could be a long wait.
I applied to the college of engineering and had the hail interview. Unfortunately, I got deferred. Anyone else in the same pool?
When do those who get deferred receive their results? Could it be as early as January and February, or only in April?
This past smester has been absolutely miserable. I picked the most rigorous course load possible so I could appeal to the admissions office and bring extra emphasis to my upward trend (3.5/3.6 freshman, 3.85 sophomore, 4.0 junior) and I was still deferred. After these semester grades are finalized I’m seriously considering just turning on cruise control and coasting through the rest of Senior year.
I spent the past couple months focused solely on managing a monster schedule with the incentive of acceptance to my first choice school. Now that incentive is gone and I frankly couldn’t care less . I was already accepted by Michigan State so that will be where I’m attending if UMich and my OOS schools don’t work out.
I feel burnt out and painfully mediocre.
@Filthy_Frank totally agree with you. I’m totally burnt out. Feel like I’m working hard for nothing.
@Yahyeet It would be too big lol.
Yeah same here
@Filthy_Frank the more the merrier. We can all struggle together
Was deferred today from college of engineering with a 34 ACT and 3.99 unweighted GPA and HAIL interview. All those deferred for COE do not lose hope many get accepted from deferral in January. It hurts now, trust me I know, but best of luck to all hopefully we get accepted!
When’re you guys sending letters of continued interest?
Deferred today from COE. ACT 34, SAT I 1550, 3.83 unweighted GPA. Did the HAIL interview as well.
@sciencegirl20 I’ve finally been able to regularly hang out with friends and enjoy the activities/hobbies that I love so much over this Christmas break. After a decision like this, I don’t think I’m going back to the work load of first semester. If I’m not going to be admitted to a school like UMich, then I’m sure as hell not going to work as hard as a student at UMich.
