<p>i did apply early response in december and got deferred...and now im still waiting. i think since it is already april 7th that its safe to say that i should be looking at my other schools (villanova, wisconsin, and maryland)...its a shame michigan is my number one...</p>
<p>and the 3.9 is unweighted, my school goes on a different scale (out of 6, very strange), so my guidance counselor did the 3.9 for me..its a b+/a- average in all advanced, so im not sure if thats completely right. but anyways, i guess we will see in the coming days...</p>
<p>hockey4, i got a 2140 for SAT and i got in..
as far as i'm concerned, i dont see any difference between you and me..
in fact, IMO, you do have better extracurric, i was just wasting my time in school..
good luck anyway, hope everything turns out fine.. ( i dont have GPA because Asia uses the british A levels system)</p>

<p>titan: I'm going to guess defer/waitlist bc GPA is so low. There were some people on here with 3.4s/2250 SATs who were deferred due to GPA. Everything else looks decent though</p>
<p>awds: frosh year is not considered. I'd say match/slight reach, again due to GPA. With a higher avg, UM is a solid match for you.</p>
