<p>I haven’t gotten anything yet.</p>
<p>@sAxsKy

[li] Gender: Male[/li][/ul]General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc: Son is really relieved after being deferred for MIT last night (obviously a reach). I keep hearing everyone mention Ross - what exactly is that? I haven’t heard of it before - assuming son knows, but is that something he should have already applied for separately? Thanks and congrats to everyone and hope everyone hears soon!</p>
<p>Yeah… Looks like yesterday was defferal day. Today was acceptance. Monday is rejection.</p>
<p>Yeah I agree with “headingsouth”, has anyone been deferred??</p>
<p>Also there are no rejections in the early action admissions at UM, are there?</p>
<p>My gut feeling tells me I’m right.</p>
<p>i havent gotten anything either. i feel so numb. i just want to know so i can have the weekend to get over it if i dont get in.</p>

<p>Why should I complete my application by the Early Action deadline?
“The primary goal of implementing an Early Action program is to give students a guaranteed decision date. For students who have Michigan as one of their top-choice schools, a decision of admit, defer, or deny before the end of December allows them to plan accordingly.”</p>
<p>WOW I’m really nervous now :(:(</p>
