<p>when i got home today and saw a thin envelope from univeristy of michigan addressed to me...i automatically thought "deferral". suprise, suprise!... DEFERRAL! yeah..so help me out. they want me to send in my senior fall grades and will tell me final decision in mid-april. I am in a special situation since all my classes are taken at a community college due to a program offered by my high school. </p>
<p>I am also in the College Honors Program and recently member of Phi Theta Kappa (two yr college honor society)</p>
<p>grades:
English Honors: A
Political Science/Amer Govt Honors: A
Calculus: B
PE: A</p>
<p>I only have 3 academic classes, which is a regular coure load for a college student anyway. also just became member in phi theta kappa. </p>
<p>will i be an admit come april??? does this mean bad news if i applied to UCs? cus i really want to go to ucla or ucsd...and if im already deffered from mich...im starting to think my chances at ucla/ucsd are small. help!</p>
<p>When did you send in your application?</p>
<p>Depends. That's a 3.66 UM GPA, which is relatively low. That B in calculus won't help. Your chances at UCLA and UCSD are probably better considering your residency. I mean, just do what you can and hope for the best. Write a letter stating your interest, get a recommendation, send them an updated EC list.</p>
<p>well like i said, im in an unusual situation where I spend my whole senior yr at a community college and 3 academic classes make me a "full time" student..so if i wanted to take another class i would have to petition to the academic council blah blah...I understand 3.66 is low..but i could only take 3 classes. they ARE college classes and two are honors classes. i had to be accepted into the college honors program thru application process.</p>
<p>A2Wolves6: are u sure i am allowed to add a letter stating strong interest and an additional rec? wont that be too much?</p>
<p>I really don't think you can send too much, anything to get them to keep remembering who you are. I reccomend sending something every month so they keep opening your file, I already wrote a letter and sent fall grades, and updated list of EC's. Can't hurt.</p>
