Not while theyāre deferred, no. If admitted, as late as the first week of April, then yes, you can still into the Honors program.
Depending on in-state versus OOS, merit is always difficult to get from Michigan and certainly, as time passes, merit money runs out.
Back to the Honors program, Iāve seen deferred applicants admitted, apply to the Honors program in the first week of April, get admitted to Michigan and then get admission to Honors in late April.
Hereās this cycleās deadlines for Honors. Seems very similar to prior years.

Just remember, you can still graduate with honors w/o ever having been formally admitted to the āHonors Program.ā Really the big perk for the Honors program boils down to one major item, which is freshman year, you get housing in South Quad. There are some other smaller perks, but South Quad freshman year is the big one.

Thanks @sushiritto. Very helpful
Yes, I meant after being admitted. Not while still in postponed state.
So it sounds like honors is still available to deferred applicants but likely not merit (as it may have run out)
I hope everyone here will hear positive news in March, whether this week or by the last week of March. But remember, 10,000+ applicants are offered the waitlist option. And if you decide to take it, then the wait could be over the first week of April or the wait could be as long as July.
I donāt want to be a āDebbie Downer,ā but thatās always a possibility for some of you, whether you choose it or not, itās up to you obviously.
Iāve seen applicants post in July, after being admitted from the WL, and are ecstatic. And some choose to move on and reject their WL option.

And you are certain of thisā¦ how?
Did her deferral letter say āā¦and in case you were wondering we really DID consider youā¦ā?
I did the live chat with an AO today and asked about EA deferred applicants hearing tomorrow. Their response was āitās possibleā so I think we can be fairly confident of a release.

Thanks!! All the posts in specific forum, have sold me on UM! Sounds like an awesome mix of academics and fun campus life
I was thinking the same. Michigan says itās a postponement on a decision, not a postponement on reviewing the application. Thatās the same thing UVA is saying when they defer.
I realize a lot of people donāt believe Michigan reviews everything for EA, but that is no more than an urban legend unless they admit otherwise.
Wow! They have firm decision dates here. Someone must not have gotten the memo 
Sarcasm aside, this is great. Iām glad theyāve provided this info. I also find the deadline dates revealing. The first was Feb 8th - about 10 days after the EA decisions were announced. The second date is March 8th, so following the same pattern (and given that in-state decisions went out 10 days prior to that date) it implies thereāll be a wave tomorrow March 4th.

Iām laughing because, I knew you would find the pattern, but I held my tongue thinking you would be the first to mention it.

If decisions will be released tomorrow, should we expect to see changes in the portal leading up to the release? Just need to know how obsessive I need to beā¦ 
Typically, yes, but this will be a smaller release, relative to Januaryās EA āwave.ā Thus, the āglitchā could be much closer to the time of release.
Okay. I wonāt start freaking out yetā¦Sigh.
Wow, thatās like probably never happened before. Hell must have frozen over. 
BTW, ālive chatā obviously confirms someone is working during Spring break.

If there is a release tomorrow, would it include RD?

To be clear, I think you mean those apps that were received by 2/1/22, because everyone is considered RD now, including the deferred 11/1/21 apps. In any case, absolutely!

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it, but after talking with a bunch of applicants from around the state the late February release seemed to be concentrated within certain Michigan counties (Washtenaw was a big one). There are large in-state feeders that didnāt receive any decisions.
So, if youāre in-state I wouldnāt be discouraged about not being in that wave.
I could use some unemotional, unbiased feedback here ā as a Virginia resident, I am guilty of wearing Virginia blinders. That said, while my S22 waits for decisions from Michigan and GT (was accepted to UVA), how would you compare engineering opportunities at those schools? Yes, the cost of UVA is much lower for us, but, reputation-wise, how close/far apart are the engineering programs considered?
