What does this status mean?

I was deferred in November. MSU asked to see my semester grades for 7th semester. I got a 3.9. I wrote a very nice letter of continued interest to the assistant director of admissions. My status was just updated today with this:

"Thank you for your patience and continued interest in Michigan State University. An initial review of your application indicates you are a competitive applicant to MSU. Due to an increase in the quantity and quality of freshman applications, the Office of Admissions requires additional time to thoroughly review all applicants before making a final decision.

Admissions decisions will be released on a rolling basis, beginning in mid-October 2016. Our intention is to deliver your decision within 12-weeks from the time your application was complete; including all your supporting documents (personal statement, transcript and test-scores).

No additional information or documents are required. The most up-to-date information will be posted to your account as soon as it becomes available. Students will be notified by email when a change occurs on your account.

Thank you again for your patience."

Does this sound good? I hope that they’re still accepting people for the fall semester. Please let me know.

Basically means u got deferred make sure to send in strong senior grades take the survey send a letter of continued interest to your admissions counselor and have your counselor advocate for u

I was already deferred and did both of those things in January. Thanks though.

They just updated it to reflect the letter that any other deferral got. It means sit tight.
