ACT 32
6 AP’s (including this yr)
Oh well
Sorry to hear that. My daughter also deferred, 4.0 unweighted, 35 Act, 1560 SAT (1590 in December). Good extracurriculars. 8 APs. She unfortunately messed up, wanted to apply for LSA Ross but common app didn’t update and she was listed as Engineering. So that wasn’t good. But she knows of another friend with 1590 SAT, absolute top candidate deferred. Both are out of state. Don’t know what’s going on.
@varvav1 CoE is many times harder to get into than LSA. regardless, her ECs likely showed no correlation to engineering so she was deferred. i believe it is possible to call admissions and have them change the school you’re applying to.

OOS (Ohio)

Lots of EC:
-NHS, Interact club, 100+ hours of volunteering, worked as a tutor, cheerleader for 3 years, student council treasurer, vice president of a non-profit organization called Project G.I.V.E, Freshman Mentorship Program, volunteered at a hospital over the summer
2 letters of rec from teachers and 1 letter of rec from professor at umich who is a family member (grandpa’s brother)
Also thought my essays were very well written
I plan on sending my first semester of senior year grades which came out to be a 4.8 W (taking 5 AP’s)
What do you think is my chance of acceptance during RD??
I know my ACT is low 
Accepted to Ohio State Honors College
@ezga3969 Thanks. She did call and they didn’t seem to believe she made a mistake (thought she was trying to switch to LSA b/c she was rejected in CoE) and also said it would not help her chances to switch. She may do it regardless, b/c as you noted her ECs and her essay were based on business. Regardless, she will likely not go MI anyway w/out some merit money, and seeing as she is now deferred, that is unlikely.
My D was deferred. Initially, I thought, oh maybe her stats weren’t quite high enough, but then I saw people accepted with lower stats. Maybe it was her essays or not enough demonstrated interest. But I’ve come to the conclusion that the biggest factor is sheer numbers. They just get far, far more apps than they can accept. Even if you draw a line somewhere on stats, the numbers are still huge. So many high stats kids are applying. It’s not a matter of where she fell short. The ones who were accepted somehow stood out…at that time, to that AO. Maybe for some completely subjective reason.

haven’t heard from any other schools yet
can anyone confirm that the chances for deferred apps are basically the same as regular apps now? and how much of the class do they fill with EA admits?
Once EA gets deferred you are put on the RD pile and reviewed again. Think 50% of class gets filled with EA or there around.
@Knowsstuff so if you’re deferred you’re reviewed with the same regard as a regular decision applicant? do you know if the acceptance rate is less or more in EA vs RD
@ezga3969 once you get deferred you become a regular decision candidate. The process starts over. But it seems like a lot of deferred students do make it to getting accepted. But on cc were are seeing a small sample size. Keep in mind also that more people then you think that got accepted never come to Michigan. I know of like 10 people so spots are opening up as we speak.
@sushiritto do you know the figures for this students question? Thx…
tysm! @Knowsstuff i’ve seen your account as well as @sushiritto on umich threads a lot, and you both seem to have all the info haha. greatly appreciated!
There’s no official UMich policy or admissions stats publicly available for EA deferred applicants, AFAIK. As mentioned, deferred applicants are rolled into the RD round. The RD app deadline is 2/1, but RD round decisions start in waves around 2/1, so you know a whole wave or waves of “ready-to-go” deferred EA and RD apps are released the 1st week of February. And each week or two after that.
I did a quick “napkin” analysis on one UMich thread and I think the odds are somewhere between 12-22% that a deferred EA app is accepted. However, if I were an AO, deferred applicants definitely get priority over regular RD apps, but that’s me. Any student completing their application by 11/1 rather than 2/1, gets extra points in my book. I think the UMich AO’s feel the same way.
@Ezga3969 I rarely do “chance” threads, but I think you’ll be rewarded with an acceptance. I also think what state you’re from matters. If you’re from CA, IL, OH, NY or NJ, as an OOS student, then I think that increases your chances too.
@sushiritto thank you so much for your help!!
It would be objectively incorrect to say that “If you’re from CA, IL, OH, NY or NJ, as an OOS student, then I think that increases your chances too”. These states have the most applicants and most competitive applicants. These are the hardest states to get an admission.
i’m assuming a state like maryland would be pretty up there in terms of competition too?
