<p>as cnwu15 said, if you got a mail on nov 19 that your app qualified for early action, does that meant you wont get postponed as a deferal?</p>
<p>No. </p>
<p>Many many EA applicants are deferred. </p>
<p>My daughter was one, but was in by end of January. They are dealing with close to 30 thousand apps. On some level, it becomes a triage situation when they classify the apps, and just get through what they can. </p>
<p>So basically they probably won’t get to half of the applications and the applications who they did not get to get deferred?</p>
<p>It doesn’t seem realistic that a school would just defer people because they didn’t have the time. If that was the case why wouldn’t they jus tell us the decisions were coming out in February.</p>
<p>Found this on their website, here is how they grade us/determine if we’re accepted or deferred. <a href=“http://admissions.umich.edu/assets/docs/template-rating-sheet.pdf”>http://admissions.umich.edu/assets/docs/template-rating-sheet.pdf</a></p>
<p>Triage. </p>
<p>It does not mean they simply don’t look at some applications. </p>
<p>I am sorry if this is hard to understand. Trust me, I totally understand the anxiety and unrest about this. </p>
<p>Last year- the very tippy top of the applicant pool was admitted with EA. Then there was the next wave, at the end of January, which was another level of stats and accomplishments. Further waves followed, starting a it six weeks after that. </p>
<p>It may be helpful for some to review last year’s threads to become familiar with the reality of how this works. </p>
<p>My grandma went to U of M and I forgot to include that on my common app. Do you think this information would be worth sending if I get deferred? And how would I go about telling them this?</p>
<p>No. That will not make a difference. </p>
<p>If deferred, send any requested documents, and contact your regional admissions counselor with a BRIEF statement of your continued desire to attend. </p>
<p>UMich is a lovely school, it attracts terrific talent, I would be happy to send my son there particularly if he is able to get into Ross.</p>
<p>Harvard it is not, you are getting to far ahead of yourselves. If you are top 3% in SAT/ACT with a solid HS education and grades. UMich should be happy to have you.</p>
<p>I heard that UMichigan only looks at your ACT Composite, Math, and English/Writing. Can someone confirm or debunk this please?</p>
<p>well, i hear decisions are out tomorrow … good luck everyone!</p>
<p>one question though, how much does it help to be a first gen to go to college?</p>
<p>@forcenturies Being first gen certainly does help. I am not certain to which degree it helps.</p>
<p>@Miw140 thank you</p>
<p>@indeferrence you go to troy high school? me too! who are you even?</p>
<p>@forcenturies I messaged you :o </p>
<p>As restated above. I heard that UMichigan only looks at your ACT Composite, Math, and English/Writing. Can someone confirm or debunk this please?</p>
<p>@AlbertCollege i don’t know, but i HIGHLY doubt it. i’m sure they look at all.</p>
<p>pretty sure thats false @AlbertCollege </p>
<p>they dont superscore the act, but they look at all the sections of the highest composite you send them. </p>
<p>I was reading on this forum in college confidential about the michigan looking at act score thing so I’m still kind of unsure of how they see the ACT subscores.

<p>My son was accepted EA OOS last year. His application went in the EA deadline day (probably the last hours of that day). He got an email around 6 pm. Several of his friends from the same school had already heard earlier in the day. I don’t think there was any pattern to it. He is now in LSA Honors.</p>
<p>I heard that admissions do not look at SAT writing. Dont know about ACTs because I havent taken them. </p>
