<p>Seems like most of us have similar letters.</p>
<p>I heard there are “good” deferred letters and “bad” ones. My email was the same as @potus123</p>
<p>Got the same one as cadyheron minus the family ties part. What does this mean?? Is there really a ‘good’ deferral??</p>
<p>And im guessing the family ties part is if your parent/relative is an alumni??</p>
<p>i heard from last year that the one we got @Brifes is the good one but who knows…</p>
<p>Yeah, from the wording they used that one seems like the good one</p>

ACT 30/ GPA 3.83/ 6 APS</p>
<p>i think it was my ACT that got me deferred (28). did most ppl here have below a 30 ACT? i think that could be why most of us were deferred. they probably set cut offs for test scores and GPAs because of lack of time</p>
<p>I was deferred also and I am crushed because Michigan was by far my top school.<br>

Im from NY and applied to LSA and I visited.
What do you think my chances are getting in and is there anything I can do to increase my chances of getting in?</p>
<p>I doubt it. There is lots of factors. I saw one with 28 got accepted. Maybe we will meet at east lansing. :)</p>

<p>Haven’t heard back yet but I’m a very similar case as far as cofounding a tech company (though my academics are better). I really hope you get in, Umich needs more entrepreneurs.</p>
<p>Has anyone been downright rejected? Or is everyone not ‘accepted’ deffered in early action??</p>
