Deferred OOS, what deferral letter did everyone receive? ( I heard there’s two versions)
@Collegebound293 that’s only a rumor, it’s far more likely that a high stat person who is deferred didn’t make it sound like they really wanted to go through their essays. Michigan’s average stats wouldn’t be so high if they flat out rejected the highest stat applicants.
@mdclassof2017 what did yours say
@mdclassof2017 What does yours say?
Deferred, LSA in state. 3.46 uw gpa 1270 SAT, HAIL scholarship applicant. Honestly relieved to have not been outright rejected, despite the low EA rejection rates! Anyone know how soon deferred students get decisions, and what the good and bad deferral letters are?
So what are we supposed to say in the email to the county counselor?

I don’t know how to post screen shots on mobile but it says thanks for applying to LSA, but that I’m deferred, and that strong semester grades will help me move up the pool of applicants.
