@momzilla2D Meant deferred sorry.
Bit of advice…I emailed the the Michigan recruitment officer for my high school after I was deferred basically telling her that Michigan was still my top choice. She told me that my continued interest would be noted in the further evaluation of my application. I highly recommend doing this if you’re serious about attending Michigan, it might be what ultimately got me in!

Could I get in RD?
I don’t know if this has already been said, but it appears that the people who turned in their applications earlier were the ones who were accepted. This probably means that the University didn’t have enough time to review all the applicants and just deferred a lot of them. As follows, my question now is what is the latest date someone submitted their application and still got in?
If the recommendation letter is postmarked after 1 Nov, then the application is moved to the RD pool, isn’t it? Do any of you know about this issue?
@SaltyBoi, I submitted the app less than 12 hours before the deadline. And I got in to LSA.
When you submitted your app definitely didn’t factor into their decisions, guys.

So far I have also been accepted to Notre Dame. My best friend was deferred from this school which was really a shock considering he is significantly smarter than I am. I really hope he gets in regular decision. Fingers crossed that everyone ends up in the right place!
@saltyboi I got into CoE and i submitted a few days before the deadline
I would love for that to be true for all who were deferred but my D applied 10 pm on 10/31 OOS and was accepted. She has great stats but there are people with the same or better than her. None of it makes sense to me!!!

@jerseymom52 schools now want a well blended community of various types of students and no longer focus on GPA and test scores (holistic review). Congrats to your daughter! My daughter is at USC and says her incoming class is a great blend as well.
