*Official Class of 2016 University of Michigan EA Decisions Thread*

<p>Balster, you and I are in the same exact boat. Kinda lonely isn’t it?</p>

<p>I am pretty sure there will be some exceptions but the general trend seems to suggest that they have moved on to defferals and eventually will go to rejections</p>

<p>@thebalster i’m pretty sure all acceptances were sent out yesterday… that beings said, it has been clear that the grades and ACT/SAT is not all that Mich looks at. People have gotten in with low scores and people have gotten deferred with high scores. nobody truly knows what Umich is doing though.</p>

<p>Still nothing. Maybe I can outlast the deferrals.</p>

<p>Stats:
GPA: 3.675
SAT: best was 1970
ACT: 33 Composite, 36 Sci, 35 Math 31 reading 33 writing. or something…
Lots of (music) ECs</p>

<p>the good deferral–kinda sounds like— the good cancer.</p>

<p>@nspire25 bad one… mine didn’t mention grades or sending anything in at all.</p>

<p>i think there will be more acceptances after some more deferrals.</p>

<p>@pleaseadvise LOL</p>

<p>@tina9294 apparently, there’s a rumor that today is deferral day, and monday is rejections…</p>

<p>Could you guys tell me… does this sound like the “good” or “Bad” deferral?

<p>Joined b/c I don’t understand Umich admissions. 3.8 UW 2200, was deferred in the first batch earlier this afternoon. from a competitive public high school, and some kids that got in from my school did not even take the hardest classes. puzzling. great essays, decent ECs, and two really good recs.</p>

<p>I think so far, we all got the good email. I think the 2nd batch is getting the bad one?
I was lurking around in the forums for the 2015 ones, and there’s one that asks for grades straight out in the 1st paragraph.</p>

<p>no… the good email doesn’t ask for any grades at all. it was the one that was sent out at 12:15 this morning. so only the people who git their email at 2:15 have the good email.</p>

<p>@lindsyoxo someone last year got this one…

<p>funny story about my essay. i happened to have put in my best effort for the umich essay, even though umich wasn’t my first choice. it was as if, the more i wrote and thought about it, the more i wanted to go to umich until it reached the point where i didn’t want to go to anywhere BUT umich. i hope my passion bleeds through the words, cause in the end, it’s not my opinion about my essays that matter… -.-</p>

<p>Still waiting… 2070 sat 3.73 uw and 4.84. W… Not sure what to say</p>
