<p>Is Michigan rejecting people or just deferring them?? I havent heard of anyone "rejected"...</p>
<p>Also is Michigan looking at the writing score on the sat???</p>
<p>Does anyone know if Wisconsin is looking at the writing score for the sat??</p>
<p>Very few applicants actually get rejected this early in the process, rather they defer applicants and evaluate the deferred pool later on. </p>
<p>The deferred pool usually has around a 50% acceptance rate, although that may change this year. About 1 in 4 applicants are actually accepted off the start, and 3 in 4 are deferred. That's what i've been told by my guidance counselor and my career center advisor. We send the most applicants to UM out of any school in the country. </p>
<p>Michigan doesn't look at the writing score. Ask the UW board about Wisconsin, I personally don't know.</p>
<p>when do the deffered people hear another descison (reject or accept)? is it generally in january? march? or not till april when everything is done?</p>
<p>A2wolves (or anyone), whats normally the situation with defferals? I'm sure you must know some from in the past, how does it usually go for them?</p>
<p>Usually late-March, early-April is when decisions roll around. That's when they give you an actually decision. I can just tell you that about 50% of the deferred applicants get in. I don't know anything about the stats of the deferred applicants, and how it relates to their overall decision, but the main reason the majority of the applicants get deferred is GPA. Strong senior year grades will help your application.</p>
<p>thanks A2, and good luck with all your stuff. Does anyone (more than a few people) hear before march or should I consider Michigans descision delayed until all my others come?</p>
<p>This is really coming as a shock to me. Why wouldn't Michigan look at the writing score??? I mean, it's a third of the SAT for a reason. Will they decide one day that they just don't want to look at the math score?? How many other schools do this?</p>
<p>from what I have heard from other colleges they aren't looking at it this year because there is nothing to base it off. I don't know personally aobut U of M though. But this is the first year so no admissions office knows exactly what to think about the new section.</p>
<p>UW looks at it.</p>
