<p>You have nice GPA, course rigor and SAT/ACT score, You should be a mid to high match from OOS.</p>

<p>I think you will be getting the golden ticket if decisions are posted tomorrow.</p>

<p>FYI. The admission stat of OOS accepted by LSA reported in this forum has average SAT 2178.28, ACT 33.25 and GPA 3.88 (average of 49). So you are right around the average to be admitted in EA from OOS.</p>

<p>Well I was deferred. A little birdie told me that Michigan is changing their Early Action process this year to accept a lesser percentage of applicants of the total class, so I am a little disappointed but I imagine they took plenty of in-state applicants, legacies, and 36 ACT’s. I think I will have a better chance Refular Decision.</p>

<p>Note that not all students within the admission range are accepted, EA or RD. Nevertheless, you should have a chance slightly above average applicants.</p>

UPDATE: I was just accepted! Don’t lose hope anyone, you’ve still got a chance after being deferred, as I have just learned.
