** Official Class of 2018 University of Michigan EA Decisions Thread **

<p>@purple/bill, thank you… was worried there might’ve been some kind of mistake haha… didn’t know there was a delay.</p>

<p>I got deferred, Which I’m fine with because I thought for sure I would get rejected. I heard something about a “good” vs “bad” deferral. Does anyone know what that means?</p>

<p>Deferred LSA :frowning: miserable night</p>

<p>Accepted into the College of Engineering</p>

<p>Sorry @Pillagerguy, it was new to me after my deferral. Bo Burnham’s What is truly like four days old, and really excellent.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>One letter says that they’re impressed by your stats; the other simply says “they need more information to make a decision”. The former, is said to be better and has a higher chance of admission apparently during the RD process.</p>

<p>[/ul]**General Comments: **</p>

<p>Good luck guys! I don’t want to take up precious spots anymore since I’ve already got a university I want to go to, so I’m withdrawing</p>

<p>Did UM reject anyone? I have yet to see/meet a person who has just been straight up rejected…</p>

<p>My son is in…we are in southeast Michigan….email sent 3:30pm Friday. However many friends and classmates haven’t heard anything.</p>

<p>Hmm… that’s strange. I also come from SE Michigan and it seems as if all/most of the people from my school have heard back D:</p>

<p>I’m not a huge fan of how UMich sent out these responses… I honestly spent 3 hours refreshing my email just waiting for it</p>

<p>But I guess in the end it was worth it, as I got the result I wanted. ;)</p>

<p>Guys, there’s a separate stats thread here:
<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-michigan-ann-arbor/1589223-official-university-michigan-class-2018-ea-results-thread-stats-only.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-michigan-ann-arbor/1589223-official-university-michigan-class-2018-ea-results-thread-stats-only.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Let’s try to keep it unconfusing for future applicants.</p>

<p>I got accepted into the College of Engineering. But, on CommonApp, I put two major fields of interest. How do we find out which major we got in?</p>

<p>My WA didn’t update until an hour or two after my acceptance letter. A few hours after that, I got another congratulations email - inviting me to apply to the honors program.</p>

<p>It’s been… 6 hours now and WA hasn’t updated.</p>

<p>did anyone get accepted to kinesiology??</p>

<p>for all you people deferred, I just declined my acceptance because I was accepted to my ED school so one more spot open!</p>

<p>College of engineering- Deferred.
SAT composite- 2080</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Mentioning your fields of interest is just for their reference I think. You actually declare your major by the 3rd term:</p>

<p>Did anyone here get an email about honors program?</p>
