<p>I'm going to end up getting a C in AB Calc. I was deferred from U Mich. Will this ruin any chance I have of getting in(i thought i had a good shot before my C)?</p>
<p>well, yeah</p>
<p>gijonman: it's not that your C will be the problem....according to UMich admissions, only about 5% of those deferred will eventually be offered a spot...my d was told directly by gc to "move on" and we have....does anyone know of any OOS students from last year who were initially deferred and were then admitted for RD?</p>
<p>there were a handful from this board</p>
<p>i know of 2 off the top of my head: my brother who was deferred and admitted, i know of another kid at my school who was deferred then admitted. I don't care about the 5 percent, what im worrying about will they just see a C and because its practically all number based, even tho my 2nd semester GPA might me a 3.5, the C will just ruin it all?</p>
<p>well, i had a C and a C- in ap calc BC last year, but i have a 3.6 uw gpa overall and a 33 act with good ECs</p>
<p>got deferred.</p>
<p>i think they saw the C's and freaked out, but that's just me.</p>
<p>Yes, they will view individual grades and see the C. The 5% matters because you've got to assume that more than 5% of those deferred had better grades than you this term. Now if you won some significant award/competition after being deferred, you may still have a chance -- otherwise, I'd move on.</p>
<p>yep i mean i have had some great accomplishments in my winter track season, but am no where good enough to run at UMICH. Luckily i got into UNC Chapel Hill so i mean if i don't get into Mich its not the end of the world(better weather and 59 percent girls(im a guy so great ration)). I just still want a chance to go to Michigan cuz ive been a wolverine fan forever.</p>
<p>"i think they saw the C's and freaked out, but that's just me"</p>
<p>I don't think so.....My d's lowest grade soph/junior year was a B+, 3.7 UWGPA, etc. etc.....also deferred....Unless those C's really brought your UM GPA down from 3.8 to 3.6, they didn't kill you.....(certainly didn't help that GPA though).</p>
<p>i mean my UM GPA will still be on par with my high school average despite the C.</p>
