<p>I got this letter from umich telling me that I should send in my fall semester grade, and I will know the final decision between March and April. </p>
<p>What does this mean? Does it mean I was defered, because on my wolverine access page I have not gotten any decision showing. Or does it mean, they are strictly considering me and just want to use my fall semester to make up their mind?</p>
<p>THanks.</p>
<p>That's one of those "good deferral" letters. Send in your grades, and your chances are pretty good.</p>
<p>You're in luck, my fellow United fan.</p>
<p>which is the bad one then, what does the bad one say</p>
<p>The bad one is a rejection.</p>
<p>Are there deferral letters that don't mention sending in your grades?</p>
<p>no seroiusly isnt there two deferrals one which is good (stated above) and one thats bad?</p>
<p>why would sending in ur grades be considered a "good deferral"? wouldnt all the deferrals want ur grades just to weed out which students have kept academically motivated/see who to admit/reject?</p>
<p>I'm not sure if their are "good/bad" deferral letters, but there are different deferral letters. And plus, how would one even know if they got a "good" one or a "bad" one, when most of deferrals don't receive decisions till April. Every year, the exact wording of the letters changes...</p>
<p>And yes it means you were deferred, when I was deferred, my WA didn't show any sign of any updates, but I received a mailed letter saying I was deferred. It simply means that they wish to compare you with the rest of the applicants that are applying to UMich before they make a decision. So what it means for you is to get good grades/try to obtain awards and whatnot, and basically do anything you can do to improve your application</p>
