<p>@bmh423 my school doesn’t really do midterms, we take state tests but they fong count towards out grades. Only in senior year do we take a half year course, and there are no finals. We’re just not really a finals kind of school. I think I may just contact my rep to ask about what I should send. I’m eager to send stuff ASAP so I can hear ASAP. </p>
<p>If what people are saying about just deferring bc of amount, I really hope I was part of that group.</p>
<p>I emailed my rep and got one of those automated ‘out of the office’ responses, so I don’t think it matters if you contact them now or later (unless you want to call)</p>
<p>Basically what Brifes said. You’ll have to wait for ten days and then mail them.</p>
<p>@bmh423 im at a top public school in nyc. we don’t inflate grades at all, i’d say actually we all have lower grades than we should. if i went somewhere else i’d probably have a 4.0, but i have a 3.6. sat scores 2080, which is the equivalent a 31 on the act.</p>
<p>can someone post a “good” deferral?</p>
<p>Dear (your name),
Thank you for your application to the University of Michigan College of Engineering for Fall 2014. We are pleased that you have applied and are impressed with your achievements. However, our high application volume, coupled with the very strong credentials of our applicants in recent years, has contributed to an increasingly competitive admissions process. As a result, we are writing to inform you that your application is currently being deferred for further review.</p>
<p>While this is not the answer that you were hoping to hear, your application remains under consideration. All final admissions decisions of admit, deny, or waitlist will be made no later than early April, 2014.</p>
<p>Strong fall semester or trimester grades may improve your status in the deferred pool of applicants. Therefore, please ask your high school counselor to forward them when they become available. Beyond that, we are confident that the information you have given us is more than sufficient for a final decision. The most successful candidates send us only what we require. Please refer to the website [Information</a> for Deferred Students | University of Michigan Office of Admissions](<a href=“http://www.admissions.umich.edu/deferred]Information”>http://www.admissions.umich.edu/deferred) for FAQ’s about the admission process and what to do next.</p>
<p>We hope your interest in Michigan continues. You have our best wishes for an enjoyable and successful end of your senior year.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Theodore L. Spencer

<p>I believe this is what people are considering the “good” deferral letter.</p>
<p>People from last year have gotten accepted through the bad deferral letters and rejected from the good ones. It doesn’t really indicate much</p>
<p>So I’m pretty sure we all got deferred because we sent out our apps the last few days we were able to and since there was such a high number of applicants they just sent out good/Bad deferrals based only upon GPA and scores.</p>
<p>I submitted on 10/27. That’s so dumb if it’s the case. The deadline is 11/1 and you should be able to get reviewed if you send it in time! I doubt it’s the case, seems very unprofessional.</p>
<p>I don’t know if that’s the case, but if anyone in this thread has great credentials and submitted very early, I’d like to hear from them.</p>
<p>So does this mean we lose out on scholarship opportunities if we are out of state? Will our financial package be affected by this?</p>
<p>Story weaver, which deferral letter did u get? Thx</p>
<p>There is no good or bad deferral letter. Read last years thread, it is clear that they had no bearing on who was eventually accepted or wait listed. </p>
<p>As for the supposedly “bad” letter that requires you to send grades, there were a number of people that were accepted fairly quickly (Jan. or Feb.) once they sent their grades in.</p>
<p>Anyone else receive a decision via email, but did not have their WA updated? I’m kinda confused. I would have expected WA to be updated first, if not shortly after. It has been over 24 hours now.</p>
<p>me too…no wa update</p>
<p>I’m in the same boat as you Miw140</p>
<p>When did you guys apply?</p>
<p>Applied 10/27. I don’t think anyone thinks the “bad” deferral letter means a definite rejection or wait list, but rather just that the school is leaning one way rather than the other.</p>
<p>My stuff got in on the 30th (thanks guidance councilor…) so that might be related, but then again, who knows?</p>
<p>Edit: I’m a bit bitter. They do a lot of hard work, so sorry to guidance councilors.</p>
<p>I think they at least reviewed our apps to a certain extent. There are several people with sub-par stats getting the good deferral letter and vice versa. I, however, think there is a difference because why would they send out 2 kinds if there was not? At least, for now, our apps are split into two piles.</p>
