<p>has anyone got deferred ?
wat r the chances of acceptence after being deferred ?</p>
<p>I got my deferral letter today (Feb 23) =(
I applied LSA on Dec 14, app complete Jan 11, with a 3.3uw/3.55w/1460</p>
<p>I'm planning to send out my 1st semester grades ASAP, but the thing is, they aren't all that amazing. I took 4 AP courses, and I got 2 As, 2 Bs. Do I still have a chance, or should I start expecting the worst?</p>
<p>I got my deferral today as well...I applied on Nov 18, completed Dec 1 (its been a long wait lol) with a 3.7 gpa, 3.5 umich rubric, and a 1300 (1320 combined)</p>
<p>My first semester grades came out to a 3.93 gpa, 4.0 umich scale taking 4 ap/honors all the toughest offered at my school...so im anxious to send them in</p>

Are you from Michigan?</p>
<p>no im not from michigan, im from seattle,wa (pardon my username lol, usc and umich are my two top choices i jus flipped a coin for a name)</p>
<p>nirvana, i have very similar stats to yours! but your grades seem good enough to get you in.</p>
<p>Not to burst anyone's bubble, but I looked at last years archives and found a posting that said that if you get deferred from Michigan, you are really getting waitlisted and that no one gets moved off the waitlist. Anyone have information that would support/disprove this?</p>
<p>i'm not surprised. in the guide to the admission process enclosed alng with the deferral letters, wait-list applicants may have to wait as long as mid-summer before receiving any word. and for me, it's not worth it to wait for that decision when there are many other opportunities available.</p>
<p>yeah, on the deferral letter, it says decisions could be released early/mid-April but then you could be waitlisted and pushed back into midsummer (which is bs and not worth the wait for any student)...they said they review your app on a regular basis</p>
<p>oh wait, they say the LATEST is mid-April</p>
<p>I was deferred today after sending my app in from CT back in late november. Ive already been accepted to penn state purdue wisconsin and maryland. Any tips on what I should do iother than send in my grades? I have a 3.6 unweighted, 1270 sats, lots of ECs basketball, 25 hr/wk job, honors society. Im white by the way, what are my chances of getting in now?? THANKS</p>
<p>this deferred thing is so so tricky ..
lots of ppl say send them this and that but is there any point
if u have something significant and it could make a difference then maybe yes but otherwise it might just irritate therm dont u think?</p>
<p>spectre: A deferral is not a waitlist. I do know people who got deferred and then accepted. However, I know nobody who was waitlisted and then accepted. If my memory serves me correctly, I don't believe they have taken anybody off the waitlist in years.</p>
<p>boysmom, only reporting what I read in the CC Archive. I do think it would be helpful however if Michigan would actually provide the number of students (or percentage) they take from the deferred pool. After all, other schools do. Why the mystery?</p>
<p>michigan defers you if they are vacillating upon a decision...waitlist is when after further review, and after the deadline for decisions they STILL haven't decided, and thus they waitlist you and make a decision mid-summer based on space available, people dropping out, etc....waitlist pretty much means you're done for, but deferral is much much better lol, if you think defer = waitlist, then you've got to relook the university's admission policies</p>
<p>I wouldn't be surprised if Michigan was deferring and wait-listing people more this year. Absolutely no evidence to back this up - but last year they had a huge freshman class - which caused a lot of problems with housing and getting enough TAs and faculty to teach popular 1st-year classes. This year applications are up quite a bit - and I imagine they don't yet have a lot of faith in their ability to predict the yield rate because of the new application.</p>
<p>yeah, but i don't think they'd want to risk losing tuition money by predicting too low a number either..so that reasoning can go both ways. </p>
<p>I really just hope my mid-year grades are good enough, and that my legacy status will be able to give me favorable boost. not much i can do now after being deferred, unfortunately =(</p>
<p>i guess we have no other option but to just sit and wait till april..........</p>
<p>best of luck i guess ?</p>
<p>for some reason, it just seems more likely that one will be waitlisted after being deferred rather than being accepted after a deferral. but that's just how i feel, and i know that's not necessarily the truth.</p>
<p>mmm...i would think that after deferral the first choices are either accept/reject, and THEN waitlist...waitlist is a very weird thing to be a part of, there's almost no point because you might as well be rejected</p>
