<p>Hey! I was deferred with:
DECA - Vice President of my STATE
NHS - Vice President of my school’s chapter
Orchestra - Treasurer
Leader of my church youth group</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>and yes AMEN @qazwsxedc101</p>
<p>@gopadub</p>
<p>I have seen your posts throughout this thread a few times, apologizes, i was speaking broadly to most of the other posts… and actually it may have just been 2 or 3 I saw… idk just a generalization.</p>
<p>yea probably the tests score and ohio probably has a lot of applicants… but your guess is as good as mine, just keep workin hard and show them your interested.</p>
<p>i got deferred but with my extras i believe that i can get into Ross… can i still get in as deferred? Well if god doesnt think Umich will work for me then it wont i got accepted to OSu fisher futures program ( noramlly ment for juniors but i am really motivated now) Its Ohio state’s Investment banking program which only selects like 12 kids a year and all 12 get nice investmetn banking offers on wall street JPM, Goldman, Merryl are top recriuters. So i mean its fine but i still like U mich better especilly if i get into Ross huh i got a dilemma…</p>
<p>@ Pacers </p>
<p>No man you are correct most of the people like me who got deferred, were a little weak on the Gpa ( which i cant really control) but I wrote a sexy ass email to my regional admissions advisor tellign her how much I really want it and my current triumphs etc… I guess and Ib diploma canadate doesnt always get in any school he/she wants even though U mich has a 75% acceptance rate for them…</p>
<p>Also u were correct at the fact that most of them just had captain of x or y so you were correct :D</p>

I posted on HSL earlier that CC needs a “like” button. You just gave a prime example of why.</p>
<p>bahaha sexy email… </p>
<p>well sounds like you have a great alternative lined up… good luck to you.</p>
<p>I wanna see If i can get a shadow/ internship at goldman or another investment bank in NYC now if i tell them that they will be like ***… i think doing something that drastic is my only option</p>
<p>By the way I may be *****ing but its cuz i love umich and i am trying to found out ways to get in… but I want to truly congratz all my firends and everybody that has gotten in you guys all deserve it no option gl in the future and when RD time rolls around I hope to dear god I can join u lol gl to all deferred people and again all rejected people you guys are all going to end up at a top 20 university anyways ( my backup is OSu) and since UMich is a tough school u might be better off succeding at the other school and be the top their instead of the middle or bottom at U mich just work hard have fun and keep the goal in mind my friends Gl to you too!!</p>
<p>@ Pacers </p>
<p>Thanks man I hope that if I get into U mich in RD i will be able to meet you in person you seem like a good wolverine !! congratz again</p>
<p>don’t mean to kill the discussion or anything, but… is the only UMich thread on here a decisions one?</p>
<p>I believe thats due to the fact that… no one really knows…</p>
<p>(strange due to the fact that the rubric they use is posted on their website)…</p>
<p>Alright gopadub first of all no investment bank would ever offer an internship to high school kid and if you are really so intent on working on Wall Street in the future it’s spelled Merrill Lynch. I haven’t heard back yet and I really do understand your frustration, but the best thing to do is not to rant on messageboards like CC. Enjoy yourself and stop worrying about UMich so much you’ll have plenty of other opportunities.</p>
<p>True, however, when I forward info that came directly from staff, I am chased after with torches. lol</p>
<p>yea wolverinemom I dont neccesrlly think you are wrong but it is hollistic, and personally i dont know much… but i have a 5 including 2 AP of spanish so frankly i wouldnt mind if that were true it would increase my chances 
lol</p>
