<p>This is a thread regarding all of those (including myself), who have been deferred from the University of Michigan.</p>
<p>A couple of thoughts:
I'm actually fairly happy, I didn't get rejected, and due to recent developments, I have a much bigger chance of getting in now than I did when I applied. </p>
<p>So, vent your thoughts, and let's help each other. </p>
<p>GO BLUE!!!</p>
<p>Sorry to hear about it! Still waiting for my decision, but I think I’ll be here too. Did you post your stats/</p>
<p>Here are my core stats:
3.2 UW GPA
3.9 W GPA
30 ACT
1870 SAT (took this last Feb, so should I retake?)
Phenomenal Essay’s
Out-of-state
Half-Swedish (Speak it too) & Traveled the world
My biggest weakness is lack of EC’s.</p>
<p>Also, I’ve so far been accepted Michigan State and Florida State.</p>
<p>Interesting. I’m not an expert, but I think your test scores are lower for an OOS student, and your GPA is too (they dont take weighted GPA). Good luck for the RD round!</p>
<p>I would say retake the easier one one more time, since you have a shot an increasing the second time (especially since you’re familiar)</p>
<p>Here are my stats:
(I applied to school of Nursing so I’m not sure it that matters)
GPA: 3.85
ACT: 26 but just re-took
3 years varsity gymnastics and I’m captain this year, 220 service hours, I play piano, multiple clubs, great essays and rec letter
last semester of junior year I got a 4.24 so and I have not received a B since sophomore year. </p>
<p>I’m feeling hopeful everyone! Our dream is still alive!</p>
<p>Umich doesnt reject on early applicants.</p>
<p>They are (except for ACT). </p>
<p>But…I have a very upward trend in my grades. </p>
<p>Hopefully this will help me cause.</p>
<p>@mpgh000 Yeah they do, but you have to be under-qualified to be rejected.</p>
<p>Are we CERTAIN they do not reject EA?</p>
<p>Ok…just got he hatchet! Deferred! Crap! This will screw me.</p>
<p>They do reject EA, but only a very very very very very small amount.</p>
<p>At least it’s not a rejection, but now we have to wait…again!</p>
<p>It looks like the in-state kids have lower stats than the OOS kids who are getting deferred. I knew UVa and UNC were famous for the differentiation but I didn’t realize UM gave a big edge to Michigan high school students. So… regarding being deferred, I assume we submit first semester senior year grades, right? And we could take another ACT or SAT??? Is there really time for that? Does Michigan really look at everything again?</p>
<p>The problem is I need to make a decision or risk housing and other issues at other schools. April 1 is too far off!</p>
<p>Are you guys submitting fall semester grades now or after break?</p>
<p>I have to wait until after break to submit grades, but as soon as school opens up again, I’m submitting them.</p>
<p>Also, chances are that we’ll find out prior to April 1st. Someone even suggested late-January. But, they’ll only send out acceptances prior to April.</p>
<p>Stats:
UW GPA: 3.6 (W:3.98)
ACT: 26
Michigan resident
3 year varsity soccer.
National Honors Society (2 years)
Student Council (1 year)
100+ community service hours
Buddies Program (Helping students with autism)
Robotics
Marathon runner
Theater
Advanced choir
I had good essays and decent rec letter. </p>
<p>I’m crushed. I was really looking forward to an acceptance but now I have to wait until April and I’m not too hopeful…</p>
<p>Deferred. 3.5 GPA 35 ACT
Very good EC’s with some leadership. Very good essays. Don’t know about the recommendations. April is a very long time to wait but we do need to think about the other options.</p>
<p>GoodGuy96, sorry to hear!
What kind of school do you attend? What region?</p>
<p>We have almost identical stats. I haven’t received my decision, but I know I will be deferred.</p>
