**General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc: I never really thought about being deferred, but I always thought about getting accepted or rejected - it was very borderline for me, especially since I have such a low math ACT for engineering. On the other hand, I thought my exchange program, sports, michigan residenct and essays would gain acceptance. Overall, I think I deserve a deferral. I probably would have gotten in for LSA, but for engineering, I was very doubtful. Thus, a deferral isn’t that bad at all. Good luck!</p>
