I also was deferred at University of Michigan. It was also my top choice. I definately distance myself from the school with a deferrel, and now I’am even more nervous because 1. I don’t have a top choice anymore 2. University of Michigan was my only in-state school. The schools I have been accepted to I alreadly liked them from the start ( reason why I applied) but grow to like them more since so far likely its where I will be. Does deferrel create animosity? Not for me, since I’am not surprise of a deferrel but it only reminded me how out of touch I’am with the school and I definately discovered more of other schools this way and favor the school less to where its not a top choice. Now I even question if UMich is simply too close to home for me ( its about an hour away, maybe 30 mins going a little over the speed limit). Maybe being some distance from home would be a good experience.
