<p>Okay…so once again. For those of you that think I’m a bad person. I apologized, and yes I was wrong, but clearly you missed the initial attack on me by broncos93 saying I was ignorant and that he was going to punch my kid in the face cuz he’s just as ignorant. My response was not my finest hour, but not unprovoked.</p>
<p>My guidance counceler was on the phone with admissions today-
apparently last year they over-accepted students so they had to limit the number of admits on early action.
Being deferred doesn’t mean you’re not good enough. It doesn’t even mean maybe. If you have a 3.9 GPA with an outstanding SAT/ACT score, you shouldn’t worry; you’ll get in.
All it’s going to take is time.
The admissions councelers are under stress too, and they know how we feel.</p>
<p>Holy crap 2015, i know the same languages you do except i am in no way fluent >.<</p>
<p>I got my acceptance email on Friday for LSA. I’m so excited to be a Wolverine. Go Blue!</p>
<p>I actually had read everything said by both wolverinemom and broncos93. I just went back through the thread to try to see what order things were said in, because I am pretty sure things got nasty prior to broncos making the comment about punching the son. Strange…I can’t find the comment where wolverine mom calls broncos a db, nor the one with the very snide and hurtful comment about how humerous it was to wolverinemom that a “girl who got deferred” was commenting about the process, and how atleast her son got in. Perhaps someone is trying to scue opinions.</p>
<p>Has anyone not heard anything?</p>
<p>Damn. I amazed how small of a school a lot of people come from. 200? 100? 37? ***</p>
<p>Chezdonnell - nothing yet - good luck to you and the too many deferrals out there.</p>
<p>Gopadub</p>
<p>Have you applied for Wharton ? Also good to take Jan SAT. I am sure you know, but a suggestion. You credentials are terrific. Hope you will get in, you definitely deserve Ross. I think SAT is the only issue.</p>
<p>wolverinemom, why do you care so much? why do you need the internet fame of breaking news to us about requirements? its the internet. congrats to your son for getting in, but if you are really an adult then should have just logged off when someone insulted you. </p>
<p>when you post stuff like this after being proven wrong by many, many people then theres a reason for those deferred to get angry:
"If I said they don’t ever read your essays without the 4 years I misspoke. However generally that is true. "
that doesnt even make sense. </p>
<p>adults would have realized that “maybe no one cares about what I have to say so i should stop beating a dead horse. maybe i should stop telling these kids they have no shot at getting in, even though my son got in.” again, congrats to your son, but you should do some prioritizing in life.</p>
<p>also, i doubt the 4th year of language got your son in. it was probly his 4.0 unweighted. and if i may ask, what is your nationality? </p>
<p>“Generally. Sorry I have a friend that works at the school. She warned me about needing the 4th year so my son took a college Spanish class & got in. 3rd in his classic 100, 4.0 UW but only a 27 act.”</p>
<p>I have been reading these threads since the beginning, and I have followed all the posts between Wolverinemom2015 and broncos93. I did see the “db” comment. I was appalled. In fact, when I first read the post, I called over my daughter and my spouse who also read the post. I also read the “punch her son in the face” post. That one can’t be found either.</p>
<p>I went back to review the posts, because I can’t believe jorabamamma couldn’t find the “db” post. Oddly, both posts are missing. And after post #1788 broncos93 has disappeared. Seems he was banned and any offensive posts were removed (most likely wolverinemom2015 reported broncos93 for his offensive and seemingly threatening comment). </p>
<p>Although Wolverinemom2015 apologizes for her behavior, she never admits that she called him a “db”. Now that her post is removed, she doesn’t have to apologize. Shame on you, wolverinemom2015. You are the parent, the one who should have exercised better judgement. And shame on you for continuing to post. This thread is not for you to fulfill whatever needs you may have that are born out of what is missing in your life. Clearly, you have a personal need to continue to post (defending your opinion, eradicating boredom, seeking attention). Yet, most of your comments are not helping the deferred or “waiting to hear” applicants. In my professional opinion, you are probably doing more damage than good. These applicants are all high achievers; most likely this is the first time they are feeling they don’t measure up; the first time they are questioning their choices; and, the first time they aren’t coming out on top. There is a tremendous amount of pressure on these young people to succeed and most, in my opinion, believe their future success is completely tied to which college they attend - which is wholly not true. </p>
<p>To be deferred or rejected is a crushing blow. Then to be called a “db” by a parent at this tender time was most likely broncos93’s tipping point. At this sensitive time, we parents must help these young people feel good about themselves, and not make them question their choices. You should have ignored broncos93’s rant, but you chose to take it personally. </p>
<p>No one knows why all these wonderful students are being deferred. However, I can say with confidence that any school would be lucky to have them. </p>
<p>Please, wolverinemom2015, unless you have something absolutely hopeful to say to these wonderful candidates, you must stop posting. Unless you have heard it first hand, it’s ALL hearsay.</p>
<p>I was reluctant to comment about this situation, but when I couldn’t find the post, I felt in all fairness to any and all future readers of this thread to set the record straight; the posts jorabamamma says she couldn’t find were indeed posted and most likely were removed. It’s up to wolverinemom2015 to own up to her statement and apologize specifically to the readers of this thread and to broncos93 for calling broncos93 a “db”. Set a good example for the next generation.</p>
<p>Please- let go of this thing with wolverine mom…some of us are waiting to hear if anyone has received an email today. Some people are still waiting to hear and it feels like this thread has been highjacked.
BTW- has anyone heard yet…I called the admissions office and they said they would be releasing decisions today.</p>
<p>^Thank you Souris, in complete agreement. I realize that maybe what I intended to convey came out backwards. I too saw the original db comment and wolverinemom insulting the poor girl for getting deferred. It was my intent to be in support of bronco, pointing out that this woman had gone and taken her nasty comments off. I most certainly don’t want to come off as being in support of wolverinemom! I wonder if there is anyway we can get poor bronco reinstated. He has the right to be here, she does not. I feel like a guest on this thread, being as it is a thread for student applicants. I am just so excited/worried for my own child that I find the posts helpful and therapeutic. I appreciate all these great kids letting me as a parent take part. Wolverine mom needs to go crawl in a hole.</p>
<p>As has been pointed out before, UM is deferring a larger number of applicants due to the sheer volume of applications they have received now that they are using the Common Application. Everyone should take a deep breath–many of those who were deferred WILL be admitted, it is just going to take a bit longer. In the past years, deferral typically meant you waited months and then got the boot. This year, deferral means the admissions office had thousands more applications to go through BY DEECEMBER 23 and HAD to issue a “decision” (yes, deferral is a decision). It is well known that last year the number of students who actually accepted a position was higher than UM expected, and this year they do not want to make that same mistake, especially with the larger number of applicants. HENCE–everything is being slowed down a bit. There are many well qualified applicants who are experencing signs of clinical depression because they have been deferred. AGAIN–a deferral this year is somewhat different than a deferral in years previous: we are now in the Common App era, numbers are way up, and the whole process will take longer. I really believe many of those who have posted their deferral stats will be admitted, but it will be Jan/Feb/March before it happens…and don’t ask me how I know this.</p>
<p>Changing the subject for a moment, did we all confirm that all responses that went out on Monday were deferrals or perhaps rejections, but that no acceptances have been received since last Friday?</p>
<p>STILL NO ANSWER!!! If i get defered or rejected (which i expect i will because no ones getting accepted) after all of this time of waiting it will just be so frustrating and awful. sorry, just venting. Every single person in my school who has applied got an answer… except me.</p>
<p>Batman 7216 - I am in the same boat you are - I really dont understand it - you OOS</p>
<p>so sick of this waiting
im the only one from my school who has not heard</p>
<p>I reported the “db” post. I wanted to get wolverinemom suspended or banned. He has done nothing to contribute.</p>
<p>anyone hear today?</p>
