<p>well i know someone who got differed and wrote a letter and eventually was accepted. don’t know if it was necessarily the letter that got him in, but i don’t think it can hurt. mich isn’t going to reject you because you say you love their school</p>
<p>if we send in our letter within this week, is there chance we can get accepted really soon? </p>
<p>I got the ‘good’ deferral letter</p>
<p>My first semester doesnt/ grades dont get finalized till end of january though. I probably will get 6 A’s and 1 B, possibly a research publication, and maybe an extra letter of recommendation?, and this letter i will write…will this all help?</p>
<p>my first semester grades don’t get finalized until january either, i’m going to talk to my counselor. i actually applied early decision to NYU so i’m waiting until tuesday when results come out to do anything, but i doubt i’ll get in there.</p>
<p>Yeah ill probably talk to my counselor as well.</p>
<p>Good luck with NYU! hopefully you will get in :)</p>
<p>thanks so much! me too :)</p>
<p>When UM says, “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,” do they mean it? It makes me feel like I’ve still got a shot but people are saying that a deferral is a deferral nonetheless and all are treated equally in the RD round. Help!</p>
<p>i honestly don’t know. i’m so bummed about this</p>
<p>Yeah my senior grades won’t be ready at least til January… should we even send anything besides that? From the deferral letter I got it seemed they only wanted sr grades and nothing else. I don’t want to bother them haha. If I were to send a letter though/another letter of rec, is it okay to do it before sr grades or should it all be sent together? :/</p>
<p>Does anyone know the percent of accepted students that were deferred?</p>
<p>can someone tell me if this is a good/medium/bad deferral (were def looking to far into this lol)</p>

<p>Is this from faiintx considered the “good” “medium” or “bad” deferral letter?</p>
<p>i feel like michigan basically based their decisions on unweighted gpa (which i dont think is fair, but i’m not an admissions counselor)</p>

<p>this is the one i got…is it the good/medium one?? ahh im literally so scared haha ive been slightly depressed all weekend. thats a lie. try VERY depressed lol</p>
<p>that’s the “bad” one, sorry. i got the same one. i’ve been super depressed as well</p>
<p>I actually managed to get the good one, somehow. :P</p>
<p>But I’m still freaking the heck out…</p>
<p>I received the same deferral as FaintX (post #15) a couple years ago and was eventually accepted, if it helps.</p>
<p>ahhhh has anyone ever been accepted with the “bad” one? why is that the bad one???</p>
<p>Yeah, has anyone ever been accepted with the “bad” one? I’m so depressed now :(</p>
<p>Guys, I think you’re reading way too much into the type of letter they sent. They all basically say the same thing except for some minor wording changes. The type of letter you got is NOT going to determine whether or not you’ll get accepted. Calm down lol</p>
<p>yeah but one explicitly asks for grades</p>
<p>Both ask for grades</p>
