<p>I applied to Michigan last year early action and got in with a $1,000 a year scholarship. I am out of state. Afterward, I applied to the honors program and got into that as well. I paid the enrollment deposit and deferred. Now I am taking a gap year program in Israel and I want to reapply to other colleges (partially due to the ridiculous cost of out of state tuition at Michigan). However, I cannot reapply to other colleges without rescinding my offer of admission to Michigan. Also, the deadline for early action has passed, so what are the chances that I would get into Michigan again? Significantly lower than the first time?</p>
<p>should be even or better because of the gap year.</p>
<p>Since you deferred the enrollment [and you can probably say its due to finances], I wouldn’t think it would be a huge problem.</p>
<p>I’m confused.</p>
<p>Do you or don’t you want to go to Michigan?</p>
<p>The cost issue doesn’t ring true. OOS cost to attend was hardly cheap two years ago (a $1,000 a year scholarship while nice, certainly didn’t significantly alter the overall cost).</p>
<p>If you want to apply to other schools then withdraw and go ahead. If you got into Michigan two years ago as well as being admitted to the Honors program, I’d think you’d still have a decent chance of acceptance now. But the school certainly isn’t getting any cheaper, so if cost is the real issue I don’t see much point in reapplying.</p>
<p>“I paid the enrollment deposit and deferred”…“so what are the chances that I would get into Michigan again?”</p>
<p>1) I may be out of touch, but since when do you have to reapply when you defer admission?</p>
<p>2) re: post #3: economic issues with the OP may have changed since she/he was admitted</p>
<p>3) does a deferral force you to attend? I don’t think so; why can’t you apply elsewhere and see what you want to do?</p>
<p>^I might be wrong, but if one applies elsewhere after a deferral of enrollment, then the university can refuse to accept him/her, since it’s ethically binding, like ED.</p>
<p>^I think square is correct.</p>
<p>assuming you are responding to #3, that may be true…but why does the OP have to re-apply to UMich?</p>
<p>and I don’t think you can compare this to ED; rather, you would have a leg to stand on by comparing it to sending in a deposit on May 1st, yet sending in another deposit on May15th…but this is not that situation…</p>
<p>wonder what NACAC would say?</p>
<p>^ I’m confused about reapplying to Michigan as well. I think he wants to rescind, then reapply to Michigan, along with some other schools. I’m not sure if our school will like OP’s action though, since it reserved a spot for him in the first place, and then he doesn’t show up as he had promised.</p>
<p>^^ wonder how they would react re: a financial issue?..i.e. what if the OP may not be able to afford to pay the OOS UMich tuition at this point? interesting conundrum…</p>
<p>I guess we can stay tuned…</p>
<p>I doubt the school cares since it’s trying to shrink its size anyway.</p>
