<p>All,</p>
<p>Please take my advice…I was an over stressed-out parent last year. My son applied EA and was deferred. I am an Alumni and along with my son was devastated. Regardless of what you have heard there are three different kind of deferral letters and fortunately, he received the good one. (See Below)</p>
<p>RECEIVED December 14, 2012 LAST YEAR
"Thank you for your application to the University of Michigan College of Literature, Science, and the Arts for Fall 2013. We are pleased that you have applied and are impressed with your achievements. 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, we are writing to inform you that your application is currently being deferred for further review.</p>
<p>While this is not the answer that you were hoping to hear, it is still good news. Your application is one of a group that remains under consideration. All final admissions decisions of admit, deny, or waitlist will be made no later than early-April, 2013.</p>
<p>Please refer to the website [Information</a> for Deferred Students | University of Michigan Office of Admissions](<a href=“http://www.admissions.umich.edu/deferred]Information”>http://www.admissions.umich.edu/deferred) for FAQs about the admission process and what to do next. Strong fall semester or second trimester grades may improve your status in the deferred pool of applicants. Therefore, please ask your high school counselor to forward your fall semester or second trimester grades when they become available and be sure your U-M ID is on the material. Beyond that, we are confident that the information you have given us is more than sufficient for a final decision. The most successful candidates send us only what we require.</p>
<p>Because you are in this select group, we hope your interest in Michigan continues, and we will keep you informed of our progress. You have our best wishes for an enjoyable and successful end of your senior year.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Theodore L. Spencer
Associate Vice Provost and Executive Director"</p>
