Hey guys,
This will be the new forum to discuss stats from Deferred students for 2020, in addition to notification of decisions for us when they come out.
Good Luck!
Third deferral thread I commented on!!! woot woot //cries
I was deferred today with a 3.91 UW GPA and a 1960 SAT, and I was wondering what the rate of acceptance is from deferrals? Also, what is the usual deferral rate for EA? I’ve heard it’s pretty high…
Also, when will we know our final decisions? Like, what has historically been a date where deferral decisions have been posted?
International student applying for engineering. Deferred. Really want to be accepted by U of M
Deferred from COE, international applicant.
If I wish to send an email of continued interest, it should be to the regional officers?
And, what all could I include?
Deferred students will be reviewed as RD. The overall admission rate in RD was not really lower than EA last year.
Anyone else deferred from the School of Nursing? I don’t even know anyone else who applied to nursing…lol
Is it really advantageous to send a letter of interest??? My email says that beyond fall semester grades, “we are confident that the information you have given us is more than sufficient for a final decision. The most successful candidates send us only what we require.”
Deferred from LSA. 96 UW GPA, 35 ACT. Really wanted to go to Michigan sighs
Woo - Deferred. And a little bit shocked. I know plenty of people accepted yesterday with lower scores and less activities - oh well. Some people with higher scores than me got deferred, and some with my scores exactly got accepted, and some even with lower and less. Guess that’s simply how UofM works - completely random at times.
- 32 ACT
- 3.98 GPA
- Vice President of Class for 2 years
- Class Senator for a year
- Vice President of Varsity Club - a community service organization for varsity athletes (11) / President (12)
- Started my own successful business during high school (an essay topic with a unique take on why it was started)
- National Honors Society
- National Spanish Honors Society
- DECA district finalist
- DECA Award of Excellence at the state level for the Hospitaly and Tourism Marketing Event
- The Tower Supervising Editor (award/winning school newspaper)
- MIPA 2nd place personal narrative
- AP Scholar Award
- 100+ active community service hours
- All honors & AP classes except for US History (I didn't like it enough to make it AP)
- Am currently working as Branding & E-Commerce Director for a local business
- This year, I do have an easier schedule since I've elected to shorten my schedule in order to work as a part of my education. I plan having a complete review of my impact on where I work sent with semester grades.
Now it’s on to waiting - maybe I’ll know February or maybe it’ll be April.
To what email do you send your letter of interest to?
I’m sending it to my regional counselor - but I’m going to wait until mid January or end of it, since 1) random acceptances from deferrals may come out in January (or they may not! no one can predict) and 2) they’d probably be annoyed with an email a day after the the decisions come out.

You might want to remove your umich id…@eatsleepswim123
I got deferred as well, 3.95 uw gpa and a 30 on the act. I’m in state and live in Ann Arbor, which sort of surprised me that I got deferred (I could’ve literally walked to the umich admissions office before it loaded on my computer). Only two kids in my school got accepted early action, out of about 100 that applied, the rest got deferred. There was a similar trend last year and a bunch of students that got deferred were later accepted in late January and early February. I heard that if you send in your semester grades then that shows interest, whereas people who don’t send them in show lack of interest or just laziness.
Instate with 31 ACT and 3.96 uw gpa, got deferred. I’m definitely going to send in my semester 1 grades as soon as I get them, although that won’t be until the end of January. Do you think it is necessary to send in a letter of interest on top of this? I’m still not 100% sure I’ll end up going to Michigan even if I do get in, but it’s definitely at the top of my list, so I’m not sure if it would be right for me to send an email of interest.
Deferred from CoE…
Out Of State with a 4.3 Weighted (3.85 UW) GPA (Really challenging school, and I had a rough freshman year). 34 on the ACT in one sitting (Math 35, Science 33, Reading 31, English 35, Writing 10). 770 on Math II Subject Test, 730 on Physics. I had amazing essays too. A little bummed that I didn’t get in, but I guess we just wait from here. Anyone know the typical RD Decision date?
Latest by April. But if we get in our letters of intent, it seems like we can get in as early as late january, early February
What are letters of intent?
So, what’s the consensus on when to send our letters? I was thinking early January, any other thoughts?
I’m probably going to send mine on Monday @GoPack87
