<p>my entire application was complete by early/mid november and I have not received a decision. On this forum, it seems that some people have been accepted that applied month(s) after me…is that a sign of a deferral/rejection at some point? I would think they would have reviewed my app. by now.</p>
<p>@gg123456: I applied about the same time you did and I was deferred. 
I thought it was quite odd that i was deferred so late. After a small talk with one of my teachers, who is a college professor (taking an early computer science course), stated that U of M was probably over whelmed with a bunch of applications. So I’m guessing your application is probably still under review or they could be doing them by majors or something? Who knows haha. I hope you hear from them soon and aren’t deferred like I was. :)</p>
<p>My daughter applied in October and just heard Friday that she was accepted. Don’t give up hope! Good luck!</p>

<p>General Comments, scholarship chances, status info?
What would be my GPA approximately with AP(bonus points)? Also…I wonder what made me deferred…is my GPA relatively low compared to other students? I really tried hard since grade eight to apply to good schools…I’m very disappointed…</p>
<p>Wow, they seem to have no certain criterion. I wonder if the university has a set random number generators instead of admission officers.</p>
<p>They accepted people with lower stats than yours and deferred people with higher stats.</p>
<p>i think the guy with a 22 ACT and 3.3 UW was ■■■■■■■■.</p>
<p>Also, thank you all for your input - I guess I’ll just wait a bit more before I email the admissions counselor as I don’t want to look desperate. Just sent in my Mid-Year Report over the weekend and will be sending another teacher recommendation around early next week.</p>
<p>I appreciate you support and will keep you guys updated on any news.</p>
<p>From what I’ve seen in both EA and RD, it looks like they are taking students who are within their normal range, ACT’s from 27-31 and deferring those who are higher. Probably to wait and see if they go to an Ivy League or if they are truley interested in U of M. what is love and OMGMIT, are you both currently deferred, I know one of you is? Has anyone that has been deferred received an answer? Oh this is torture!</p>
<p>I am deferred and as far as I know, whatislove is also deferred. </p>
<p>My SAT is 1970, so I should be in U of M range and out of Ivy League range. A friend of mine, a Michigan resident which came to my school with the exchange program has a 28 ACT and he is also deferred.</p>
<p>Some people that are deferred in EA period got their decisions; they were either accepted or deferred again. A second deferral seems to be the real torture.</p>
<p>Did you guys who were deferred EA send letters with updated info? We just did. Not sure it will matter…</p>
<p>I sent them a letter talking about the projects I’ve worked on during the term along with my mid-year report.</p>
<p>Yes jorabamama, I am currently deffered.</p>
<p>whatislove: I think you shouldn’t jump to such assumptions. I heard yesterday and if I were to go to U of M I would have to go to the LSA summerbrigde program. </p>
<p>I am now unsure of my decision. I feel that GVSU is a great school and I have invested a lot of time and even paid some of the fees associated with being an incoming freshman. However, U of M is equally, if not more so, a great school. I don’t know what to do.</p>
<p>^^^^To be honest I think you should go to GVSU. You seem to like it there a lot and I assume it will cost less to attend. Please don’t be offended, but I think it will be easier to thrive in an environment where you are among academic peers.</p>
<p>^^^It is funny you say my academic peers. I am unsure of how to take that without being offended. My low GPA is due to my freshman year and since I have not gotten lower than a 3.9. Which is now what my weighted GPA is. Just got a 4.23 and I was accepted so that should tell you something. I do not need to argue my credibility or how my accomplishment merit my acceptance. Anyways, That comment has actually inspired me to attend the University of Michigan. Thanks!</p>
<p>SEE YOU ALL IN THE FALL =)</p>
<p>Seems like most EA applicants were deffered, while RD is rolling normally over their 40% acceptance rate.</p>
<p>I think it is not possible to determine the RD acceptance rate by looking at CC because:</p>
<ul>
<li>Only a small number of applicants visit CC and a smaller number actually posts their decisions here.</li>
<li>We have not seen a rejection yet.</li>
</ul>
<p>I apologize for offending you, but you do realize that at Michigan you are among the weaker candidates to be admitted. Personally, I would rather be with other students who are my academic peers than to be the low man on the totem pole. A 22 ACT score, which i assume was take recently, is what caught my attention more so that your UW gpa. Honestly, I want you to succeed. My intentions were totally honorable. You indicated you didn’t know what to do and I injected my two cents worth. If you decide to go to Michigan, I wish you nothing but the best!</p>
<p>Okay. Thanks!</p>
<p>OMGMIT, the 40% was a “calculated guess” based on their last year rate. I’m still waiting for the moment you’ll come here and post your acceptance for us all :)</p>
