I wanted to address this comment from a historical perspective. Yes, in prior years, there were at least two different deferred emails sent by UMich, but there was never a correleation established between an acceptance and the type of deferral letter.
This year, UMich is using Enrollment Connect, instead of Wolverine Access, and so far it appears that all deferred students received only the one response, unless I missed something along the way?
Postponement means deferral, but did everyone with a deferral receive this same āpostponementā response?
@anastasiad. No one can tell you what to do. But do you want to give up so easily? This is just a game and not a reflection of you. Your stats are great. Decide if you want to play and go for it. ?
My youngest, whoās a HS junior, recently said she wants to apply to OSU next year, but only out of spite. I told her that Iām not paying for anything to apply or attend OSU. Find another school somewhere else in the US, but not OSU.
My Michigan Alum wife told my son he can apply anywhere he wants but not OSU. When I mentioned he would get great merit she yelled at me and wouldnāt speak to me for a week. That was 3 years ago and I think she still mad at me. ?
Just got deferred. OOS, SAT 1590, unweighted GPA 4.0, 13 APs (5ās on all 7 taken so far), good essays, volunteer EMT (emergency medical technician), published author in 3 scientific journals, captain of 3 clubs, 4-year varsity sport, placed in multiple national competitions, white female.
I go to a magnet school; a lot of really qualified people were deferred, while those who got in were good, but not excellent. Wondering if Michigan is only admitting people they predict will have a good chance of accepting the offerā¦

If I submit my LOCI right away, what are my chances and whatās the earliest I can hear back?
@socaldad2002 No, sorry, I donāt know the acceptance rate for deferred students.
FWIW, for the Class of 2022, there were 40,000 EA apps and 25,000 ātrueā RD apps. UMich accepted roughly 8,000 of those 40,000 EA apps. So, the deferred apps were ālumpedā into the pool of 25,000 RD apps.
Just an FYI to everyone, Iāve started to tabulate the EA results/stats from the last couple days, but itāll take some time to get thru everything. Thx.
One other thing, which Iāve mentioned previously. In the past, UMich has released waves of RD decisions on or about 2/1, 3/1 and 4/1. The 2/1 release is nearly all acceptances, if not all acceptances, and then acceptances decrease as the later RD waves unfold and you see waitlisted applicants and more rejections.
