University of Michigan Deferred Applicants Class of 2022

I still haven’t gotten my status updated, does this mean I am on the road to failure and should just assume that I have been rejected?

Earlier in this thread someone mentioned that they’ve been sending rejections and deferrals first, so you may be in luck orangestio.

Can anyone find Rich’s deferral acceptance rate from previous years online?

@TrampNumen was that in an email or on the portal? I got the same message on the portal but haven’t received an email.

@Positivetea Nope in fact 65 kids applied from my school! And I applied to political science in LSA not sure if I would call that unusual…

I sure hope so!

Being deferred shattered my confidence. I have yet to be accepted into a college. Rejected by Stanford, deferred by Michigan. I have UNC and Pitt left… I’m planning on a few more for RD as well. I really hope I find somewhere. I’m absolutely heartbroken bc Michigan was a solid backup to my dream school. Now I don’t know if I’ll even get into Michigan. I cried in the car on my way home from work. I know I’m not rejected yet, but it just feels so invalidating.

Would it be bad to send a letter of continued interest this early?

I was deferred from the Stamps school of art at u of m and in my application it said I had attended interlochen a top school for art had a Letter of reference from a teacher there and another letter from a alumni of Stamps and although my GPA is a 3.75 with an ACT of 26 which I know isn’t amazing but I know people who have gotten in with worse academics than me so to me it doesn’t make sense how I didn’t get in

I’m in the same boat as you.

@tt82 I feel the same. I got deferred EA at Chicago, though I was accepted to Case Western (I live in Ohio). I just recently submitted my application to Vanderbilt and Columbia, and I’m currently working on Yale. I was heartbroken by the deferral because if I can’t get into Mich there’s no way I’ll get into Vandy or Columbia. I’ve redrafted my entire personal statement and I’m vigorously working on the Yale supplements, however I submitted Columbia before I should’ve… I don’t think my essays will be of a high enough caliber.

@joe031727 When I was deferred from Chicago I sent an email the day after. I’ll most likely email Mich tomorrow, just because it’s late tonight.

@nursing2022 The message I received was in my portal, I don’t believe I’ve received an email yet but I haven’t checked recently.

General:
People have deemed the message which doesn’t mention grades as the “bad” deferral… I received the so-called “good” deferral. However, for all we know, those that received the “bad” deferral will be admitted as soon as their midyear reports come in, as it is possible Mich just wanted to make sure they were dedicated and focused their senior year before admitting them.

The worst part of deferrals and denials is not knowing any information.

when do people start hearing the deferral admissions decision

Today. Either in your portal or an email. Check both.

No I mean when you’ve been accepted or denied after being deferred

Early April

I’ve seen that past years it’s been rolling- did they stop doing that??

Last year they released decisions starting mid February for deferred applicants…

Why is the one that mentions grades the good one?

I think it’s the other way around. It seems to be that applicants with lower GPAs get the letter mentioning grades. Additionally, the other letter sounds more apologetic.

I got the letter that mentioned grades but my stats are competitive with UM’s standards…
OOS, Hispanic female,
3.8 unweighted / 5.3 weighted
1430 sat
13 AP courses through hs + more from a different advanced program
leadership/work experience/ ECs related to major
Essays were good

I just don’t understand what’s happening…got deferred from georgetown today as well but I was expecting that one. I matched/was higher than most of Michigan’s credentials.

also, how did you all know to write a LOCI? Ive never heard of such a thing…did they mention it in an email? Am i supposed to do it?
