<p>On UM's website it says "Students with strong credentials that are not offered admission on first review are deferred until mid-April, at which time final admission decisions can be made on candidates who were previously postponed." Does this mean that deferred applicants actually receive their decision in mid-April or that UM starts re-evaluating deferred applicants in mid-April?</p>
<p>Hey,
It just means that deferred poeple get a decision BY mid-April. A lot of deferred people get accepted or rejected anytime between now and mid April.</p>
<p>Gl if you got deferred, and just to let know I got deferred too :( Deferrals Unite...</p>
<p>it said in my deferral letter (deferrals unite!) that they would notify me, by the LATEST april 15</p>
<p>I was deferred mid-Nov (app complete early Oct) then accepted mid-Dec. Although I'm the only person I know whose been deferred, then notified of a new decision (with the exception of one other person who posted in the acceptance thread). I will say however, I have a feeling UMich made a mistake with my app, cause they received nothing before suddenly deciding to admit me about 3 weeks later after my deferral</p>
<p>Most people start to hear back for deferrals between now and April. So get ready and good luck :S</p>
<p>doode LOL most deferrals get rejected though right...or do some go on wait list</p>
<p>My son also received a deferral letter today from Uof M---supposedly the "good" one, if that's true that there's a difference in those letters.</p>
<p>I don't understand how he could have gotten a letter inviting him to apply to the honors college at Uof M and then get deferred! </p>
<p>Keeping our fingers crossed until April now...Good luck to everyone here!</p>
<p>Crouton, you got deferred? If I remember correctly from the Penn forum, you had better stats then I did. When did you apply?</p>
<p>GL to those deferred.</p>
<p>I was deferred in late January and Accepted on the Feb 28th. Keep the hope alive.</p>

<p>I had the same thing happen to me :P. Though I got accepted a few weeks later even though they received no new information. Hopefully this is a good sign? :)</p>
<p>zkevin,</p>
<p>I've been following your posts and hope that the same thing that happened to you will happen to us! I really thought we had such a great chance at UofM with that invitation, as well as the fact that my I was transfer student to Mich when I was in college, and my husband was undergrad and law student there.</p>
<p>We're going to do as much as we can to help get an acceptance---and hopefully end up in your same situation! :)</p>
<p>Deferrals Unite!!! yeah my letter said decision by mid-April at the latest</p>
<p>LOL what are we uniting against! hahah. yeah...deferral..but what can i say being OOS and having a 3.4 is a double whammy</p>
<p>Flong those sounds like my numbers. I did however volunteer for a Senator, play football, go to LeadAmerica (shouldn't matter), and worked two jobs. Thought my essays and recs were great though. I am a URM, but I'm pretty sure you have a good overall case because most peopleon here do.</p>
<p>As a former deferred applicant (was waitlisted and never got off the list last year), I wish you guys all the best. Don't give up, but don't bank on UofM.</p>
<p>hahah yeah the only reason i got deferred was cuz i had an internship for microsoft and my boss, a michigan alumni, wrote me a rec to them. My sat 1 score 2140 1 sitting is decent too but my gpa and oos status really hurts me</p>
<p>What's ur M + CR?</p>
<p>"My son also received a deferral letter today from Uof M---supposedly the "good" one, if that's true that there's a difference in those letters."</p>
<p>Would you mind explaining what you mean?</p>
<p>According to what I've read here, the more promising deferral letter to receive is the one that asks for mid year grades to be sent...</p>
<p>mine said "if a final decision is not made on your application prior to completion of your fall semester grades, please ask your high school counselor to forawrd grades when tehy are available." However, i dont think that makes a big difference whether it asks for fall grades or not</p>
<p>yea i think we've had a bunch of threads bout this already, and mulitple ppl said that the two different letters thing was a myth, and that there's just the one that ask for grades. i mean, no one has come in here and said they got the bad defer one</p>
