<p>After multiple individualized and comprehensive evaluations of your application to the University of Michigan School of Kinesiology for Fall 2012, 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, academic achievements, and interest demonstrated in an area of Kinesiology as a career contribute to the composition and quality of this years freshman applicant pool. All final admissions decisions of admit, deny, or waitlist will be made no later than mid-April, 2012.</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,</p>
<p>Theodore L. Spencer
Associate Vice Provost and Executive Director</p>
<p>*I know i'm kines.. but I know someone who got this letter who is in LSA, but it seems like almost everyone else was asked for grades.. so i'm curious to see who else got this letter?</p>
<p>Im not sure if everyone compiled the results from what letter they got last year (small sample size anyways), but if you can find people from last year who got accepted/denied after getting deferred you can get some % chances (prob which a large margin of error, be warned) from it.</p>
<p>there are different letters, there isn’t one that is ‘better than others’. this has been confirmed by the UofM admissions board. ALL deferred applicants will have to send in their 7th semester transcripts. UofM has the right to rescind applications if someone really decides to bomb their 7th semester.</p>
<p>I have actually talked to my admissions counselor and she said I do not need to send in my grades because it will not help or hurt my application, that is why they did not ask for it in my deferral letter… but i think i’m going to send them in anyway.</p>
<p>Lindsy why are we back to this letter thing? This is what everyone is upset about with you, yet you keep bringing it up.<br>
Also, if an admission counselor said your grades would not help or hurt your application I would take that as a rejection letter. I find it hard to believe that they would say this.
So if you get all F’s that would not hurt your chances???</p>
<p>I am just calling her on this whole stupid letter thing that she keeps posting. The different deferral letters mean nothing but yet she has to keep copy and pasting her letter for what reason? Enough already like others have told her. Like she hasn’t asked the same question 20 times on CC, but lets start the whole dumb letter thing over again so everyone can worry if they got the good or bad letter.</p>
<p>@riverbirch she apologized about this last night in the EA discussion thread. People have already given her a hard time about it, you guys should let off on her a bit. It’s a very stressful process for everyone, no need to make things worse. For the record I was one of the first ones to criticize her over analyzing of the deferral letters.</p>
<p>^
Until tomorrow. People on the internet quit and come back all the time. Tried and true attention-seeking method.</p>
<p>Anyway, no matter what, you have to send mid-year and final grade reports. This is the case at virtually every school. They’d want them even if you were accepted.</p>
