<p>Applied ER, got deferred (not asking for 7th semester grades)…sent letter of interest updating them on what I’ve done since I applied.</p>
<p>There are some very well qualified people here who got waitlisted, I’m pretty surprised…</p>
<p>Does anyone think they’ll accept kids off the waitlist this year?</p>
<p>My U-M GPA is 3.67. It’s sad, because I had straight A’s every year except sophomore year. I wish they would count freshman and senior year.</p>
<p>I declined. Hello, CMU.</p>
<p>International student(Chinese)… living in AR (for almost 9 years!!) Female.
Anyhow.
U Mich GPA (isn’t it just without Freshman year and no weighed grade?): 3.75
Cumulative GPA: 3.92
which will be over that by the end of this semester!
Btw, I screwed up my 9th and 10th grade year, ending with a 3.4
I had As and Bs back then in those easy classes
NOW, I’m taking 7 AP classes, and ALL As!!!
total 11 AP classes during high school.
and all the other classes are either required, or honors and pre-AP.</p>
<p>ACT: 29
Super score would have been 31.
32, 35, 25, 31 best score in writing was 10/12
Reading section is hard for me.</p>

<p>Was in Band, Cheer, Dance, and Studio Art…</p>
<p>Right now, I’m 100% positive I want Michigan so I will be accepting the waitlist. </p>
<p>However, am I allowed, say, with the 0.000001% chance I have of being accepted and taken off the waitlist, to turn it down?</p>
<p>I am asking in all sincerity to those of you who are on the wait list, please do not accept their offer unless you are certain that you will give up a place at your chosen college to attend Michigan if you are offered a spot. I have a friend that says he wont go to Michigan, but accepted the waitlist offer anyways because “he wants to see if he will get in.” Please do not do this…and I ask this in all sincerity. </p>
<p>I would appreciate it.</p>

<p>Please also state when you applied.</p>
<p>Well, I’m 100% certain I want in and have accepted my waitlist status. </p>
<p>I’m only asking because I had a friend who was 100% set on northwestern, waitlisted, accepted because she was 100% she wanted to attend, but while waiting for her verdict, found that she grew to really like her second choice uni and when she was taken off the waitlist, she ultimately denied it… things happen, things change.</p>
<p>So I assume, yes, we are allowed to turn down waitlist offers…?
Are we?</p>
