<p>Exactly, because I have 2060 SAT (690W, 770M, 600CR) and 110 TOEFL and yet i have been deferred.</p>
<p>Still PedroMFiahlo I am sure you must have excelled in your essays and ECs…!!! 
</p>
<p>Yeah…my scores aren’t the best. My essays and ecs are definitely what got me in. I also sent them an e-mail right after receiving my deferral letter emphasising how interested I still was in UM.
No way to know if it helped at all, but it doesn’t hurt to try.
Good luck to you all!</p>
<p>Accepted today:)
so excited its unreal…31 ACT,3.95 UW GPA, ranked 2nd in highschool class…OOS</p>
<p>Congrats, you guys! I think they must be only giving EA deferrals/new decisions out right now. RobertNewmanIII, I have about the same stats as you plus legacy and I am waiting for some sort of additional information after my February deferral. I hope I can have your luck. x3</p>
<p>sparrowo3o thank you! I think you will do fine 
I didnt have a legacy and I got in.</p>
<p>Accepted into Art & Design!</p>
<p>3.8 unweighted, 2160 SAT, 720 SAT II (literature), awesome recs from art and science teacher, various art awards and exhibitions, pretty good essays (I actually had fun writing them)</p>
<p>Still waiting on LSA to hopefully get in for creative writing. :)</p>

<p>I’m so excited! Now I have a good excuse for my parents to let me do an OOC college visit. :3</p>
<p>PhysicsPlease, when did you send in your application? Were you EA? And I was wondering why you would choose Michigan Engineering over Cornell Engineering?</p>

Reflection:
Strengths: Standardized test scores, high school
Weaknesses: Essays, GPA (in fairness though, kids with my gpa at my high school frequently go to ivies), “demonstrated interest” (did not tour and they probably thought I should have)
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I don’t think I’m a fantastic writer and my essays may have shown it. Also, kids from my school tend feel very entitled to treat Michigan as a safety and I’m not sure the admission officers understood that is not me. I really wanted to go there.</p>
<p>General Comments: I’m keeping my fingers crossed to hear back from Michigan in April. I really hope RD deferred isn’t tantamount to rejection. I sent them an update letter I really liked and hopefully that could help sway them. Congrats to all those who did get in.</p>
<p>^You look like a great candidate! (That is scary.) Good luck!</p>
<p>“Also, kids from my school tend feel very entitled to treat Michigan as a safety and I’m not sure the admission officers understood that is not me. I really wanted to go there.”</p>
<p>Until the matriculation rate to Michigan from your school goes up, I’m certain this is going to continue to be a fairly common occurrence.</p>
<p>What happens if you get deferred RD? When would you hear back?</p>
