While this is not the answer that you were hoping to hear, your application remains under consideration. All final admissions decisions of admit, deny, or waitlist will be made no later than early April, 2018.

Wow, I didn’t know so many other people got deferred too! Is this something UMich usually does for EA? Congrats to those who were accepted, and stay strong to all those deferred! I’m right there with ya
I have heard there were 40,000 EA applications, almost as many as in a normal Regular decision. I will guess that there was not enough time to go over every application. Really disheartening for those who applied EA thinking that this would give them the advantage of finding out early to learn that they will have to wait months more.
Curious: For the students accepted EA, when did you actually submit your application? Any chance that those who submitted very early on within the submission period rather than right up to the deadline received a more favorable result in this round of decisions?
My D got deferral from LSA with “bad” email. She is an in state Asia girl with ACT 35, SAT 1540, UW GPA 3.78/W GPA 4.11, 10 AP 4 or 5, another 2 AP got 3. Class rank 1/505. She is taking 2 AP and two Dual Enroll classes in her senior year. So far first period she got all “A”, expects all “A”, at least “A-” for the semester. What chance will she get in?
@sushiritto Thanks for point at the direction. So the EA application went up almost 25-30% this year. So near 90% of EA applicants would deferred if they keep the EA/RD admission ratio unchanged. I wonder what would be the final number of application by Feb 1. If it is proportional, there would be over 70k this year.
UM EA received about 40k applicants and only accepted 6k. That is an acceptance rate of only 15%, so many deferred applicants will get in in the next round
