<p>Are you a junior now and a senior next year? I am assuming as much. If you apply under UMich’s EA program in the Fall, you will receive a decision by a specified date in mid-Dec which will be either admit, deny, or deferred. If deferred you can thereafter submit mid-year grades.</p>
<p>Sorry I should have clarified. My junior year is almost over and I’m certain I’ll keep getting A’s. So yes I am going to be a senior next fall and will be applying EA to the UofM. I just want to know if this is a common reason of deferrals.</p>
<p>Colleges don’t defer because of the schedule, they defer because they aren’t sure about the student. Maybe the GPA is borderline, or something like that. But no, a hard schedule wouldn’t do it.</p>
