Deferred...RD chances??

<p>I got deferred EA. Just wondering what my RD chances are…</p>

<p>-GPA: 3.45 UW (one of the most rigorous and prestigous private high schools in the country) First semester senior year GPA: 3.75
-ACT: 33
-Took tour of campus
-Good essays
EC’s:
4-year Varsity Baseball Player, 2 year captain, team MVP, 1st team all-league
3-year Business Club president
2 year jv soccer, 2 year varsity soccer
4 year president of weight lifting club
2 year teen leader of jewish youth philanthropy
3 year member of conservative club
2 year coach at baseball camp</p>

<p>Senior Classes:
Pre-calc
Spanish literature
English
Economics
AP Gov.
AP Enviro</p>

<p>AP scores: 4 on Bio (school only allows students to take 2 AP’s a year)</p>

<p>Are you in state or out of state? It makes a difference - it will be tougher to get in from out of state with these stats. You should read the discussion on the other threads on this topic to get an idea of what to do and what your chances are. Many strong students are deferred at Michigan.</p>

<p>They, uh… might not like that you didn’t take Pre-Calc until Senior year. Are you in state or out of state?</p>

<p>Im out of state</p>

<p>Most public schools including Michigan tend to put an emphasis on gpa over other things. I’d say a high match or low reach. My stats are similar to yours and I got deferred as well.</p>

<p>most rigorous schools in the nation only allows 2 APs a year? That’s a tad odd. You’re a reach.</p>

<p>I am very similar to you GPA wise; I was deferred. Fortunately (for me anyways) I’m in-state, and am a 3.55 as opposed to a 3.45, with a more rigorous schedule.</p>

<p>I also am hoping to have my 7th semester be my strongest (finals next week). I don’t know if that GPA is final, but if it’s not increase it. That is the most glaring mark on my app, I think, and likely on yours as well. So if you can try and raise it. (Again, if I have a strong 7th semester I can get to more like a 3.6-3.7, which I would feel would be extremely helpful, especially since this semester has been my most rigorous.)</p>
