<p>I just received an email saying that my official letter was on its way...and I got in!</p>
<p>VC08 is right (someone has done their homework!). </p>
<p>If you read the Michigan materials carefully they say that they consider "defer" a decision. I don't think the average person on the street considers a deferral a decision, so I think this may cause some irritation when/if that happens to anyone who applied before the "early" deadline and expects to hear a clear "yes" or "no" by December 21st. </p>
<p>I hope this happens to very few people. </p>
<p>Fingers crossed for all--may you all get the news you hope for, and ASAP.</p>
<p>I had everything received by 10/9, so I hope I get it soon, but hoedown, you are completely right. best of luck to all...</p>
