Deferred.
Applied Ross/LSA
OOS public - Asian male
UW 3.57/W 4.3 (9-11; midyear grades are pretty good except B in AP Stats and B in Korean 4 H)
SAT 1550 (not superscored)
9 APs (3 senior year)/lots of ECs-some are pretty strong; nothing like a research project or charity/interesting essays and explanation for poor grades in sophomore year (something extremely difficult happened).

What are my chances of getting accepted in RD?

Was it a specific time too like decisions?

Is it a good idea or a bad idea to say “if accepted, I will attend” in the Michigan LoCI? It’s a reach but it’s D’s First choice and we can pay full price if need be (gulp) Will it help?

I can’t remember exactly how but it was on the last tab under admissions drop down bar on your ck on admissions. U don’t have to accept to get it. Try the next steps button and fool around on that. And if no success, that admission dept call should work.

So it’s cliché. But if a counselor or principal tells them… Then it has some weight.

Admissions doesn’t really work with Financial aid per se. It’s separate.

They need to know you want to be there. It’s really difficult with so many applicants these days. It’s almost pure luck

Just don’t tell them how great they are. So don’t quote rankings etc. My son wanted to be pushed by his peers and also wanted to be among peers at his level. Leaders and Best means something to them.

Did I tell you my daughter lives in Portland. She’s applying to Speech Pathology masters programs there.

Is it true that they don’t review all the early applications due to the volume they receive? So hence the large numbers of deferrals?

It’s a theory… Don’t know. In the olden days like 5 years ago when they sorta had rolling RD, many students “were” accepted like right after their break so a week or so later from the old December EA acceptance. But with pushing it back to end of January I think they get through enough of them if not all of them.

So so many qualified students. BTW - UIUC, Wisconsin, lots of denials and deferrals also…

So true
She’s in at Tulane! I think that is enough but it is always good to have options!

That’s a very hard get. My good friend’s daughter is a freshman there and totally loves it.

Admissions and Financial Aid are separate, but merit aid in the form of sticker price discounts is controlled at many colleges by Admissions (I do not know how Michigan does it).

Those are admitted student tours. Not the Campus Days.

After you get accepted your considered for their 40 merit awards. Think all instate.

If you look through the FAQ for Campus Days, it mentions March 30 and April 20.

does anyone know if there will be small drops of decisions before RD day for in state students that were deferred? heard of it happening before, but not sure if it happened last year and im planning to submit my loci asap.

No. RD starts Thursday Feb 1st when all RD apps need to be submitted. I am assuming they need a small break.
