<p>Hey, I applied to the College of Engineering at Mich for rolling decisions around mid-Jan.</p>
<p>On the 10th of Feb, I was sent an email saying I was deferred for further review.</p>
<p>I have sent in my mid-year report after that, but nothing else.</p>
<p>Should I send a letter of continued interest as well, or is it okay if I don't since the email said to send in my latest grades and not much more? </p>
<p>I know that it can't hurt, but I've already fit a lot into my Why Michigan essay, and I feel that whatever I put in my email will be repetitive so it doesn't really add much to my file. Really confused, so any help would be really appreciated:)</p>
<p>a letter of continued interest can simply be a solid couple of sentences stating your love for michigan and simply that you are still very interested even though you were deferred.</p>
<p>I did that for mine! I’d recommend you do that if you feel like you’ve filled everything up in your “why michigan” essay. It will show how much you wanna go.</p>
<p>bluelion, if your stats are above average (IE >33 ACT, >2200 SAT, and you have a high GPA 3.9+ UW) it is possible that Michigan would not have expected you to yield and therefore deferred you. In this case, sending a letter showing continued interest would be helpful. However, if Michigan was more of a high match/low reach for you, the University may just have to wait to see how many other qualified applicants they receive and if there is still room for your acceptance.</p>
<p>Uncannily enough, my SAT is 2200, and my GPA is 3.9 :p</p>
<p>I’m an international student also btw.</p>
<p>Is it too late to send in a letter now that it’s almost a month since I got my reply, or should I go ahead and send one?</p>
