<p>Hi, I'm a high school senior at a private high school in Illinois. I recently applied to U of M only to be deferred. I really liked the campus and academia at this school and was wondering my odds are. I'm also wondering if location could be playing a role in my deferral. Here's some back ground on me. I have a 3.79 unweighted (a 4.35 weighted) taken all honors up until senior year where I tried to focus on business classes. I got a 32 my ACT, two namely sections being math and science (34s). I actually started and am currently the president of my schools first business club. I played 2 sports until last year where I dropped my least liked one. I've been in concert band/marching band/pep band all four years and have always been on the high honor role. I know a deferred is better than wait listed/denied but is it that much better? Should I wait until early April to decide what I'm doing for college? Like what dorm I'll be in and my roommate? My next choice is Indiana university where I would be a direct admit for the Kelley School or maybe University of Wisconsin-Madison (I haven't given this one much thought to be honest). From my school, not a single person got in. Not only people who were less academically successful, but also people far better (4.85 gpa's). The weirdest thing was that a kid from a rival school in my town got deferred but he was accepted into HARVARD. Does university of Michigan have higher standards than Harvard? Obviously there are a ton of other stats that go into deciding, but how can Harvard let this kid in but not u of m? and another note would be that even if I were to get into u of m, I still would have to get into there business college after my freshman year unlike IU. I believe their admission rate for their business college is around 33%. So what are your opinions? Can I do anything to help? Is it even worth considering and risk missing out on potential roommates and dorms? I have taken every math class and business class (minus bus com) available to me during my high school career, including AP Stat and AP Calc. Wow, this question is way heavier than I anticipated. </p>
<p>Did you apply for a tough major? Your gpa, standardized test scores, and EC’s all meet U of M standards.It is pretty strange that you were deferred. I wouldn’t give up on wisconsin. To be honest, I think you could definitely get into wisconsin and i hear that it is a great school environment, one very similar to Michigan. Good luck! </p>
