University of Michigan - Deferral Thread

<p>Got the best deferral letter possible, but I’m kind of hesitant to send in my semester grades as I’ve had a serious senior slump. I got a 32 on my ACT’s, 3.55 GPA unweighted, and a full load of IB’s and honor classes for the last 4 years.</p>

<p>That being said, I probably got somewhere around a 3.3 GPA this semester, which will probably take me down to around a 3.5. The “nice” letter only seems to recommend sending in your scores to help make you “stand out”, but I’m worried about standing out in the wrong way. How necessary is it that I send in this semester? Is it essentially required? If it isn’t necessary but it looks bad, what would look worst, a noticeable decrease in GPA or failure to send more grades? </p>

<p>Did anyone receive the “Official Letter of Admission” yet? I was told that i was admitted but havn’t received the “Official” one yet.</p>

405

<p>I am still waiting for that as well.</p>

406

<p>What email address did you send your “still interested” email to? Just your admissions counselor?? or is there a general undergrad admissions email??</p>

407

<p>I also haven’t received a decision yet, and I’m stressing. Can you guys also please post which school you applied to?</p>

408

<p>I applied to LSA.</p>

409

<p>no decision here( engineering) but alot people at my school dont know either</p>

410

<p>they don’t have a general admissions email but if you email it to your regional counselor they will note it on your application</p>

411

<p>By the way, they said the next batch would be in a few weeks, live chatted a rep. So sad now :(</p>

412

<p>must of what live chat people say is total bs</p>

413

<p>yeah i just live chatted them and they said they dont have that information </p>

414

<p>Yeah they told me that they don’t when the next one will be, but probably not this week. But I think they have to say that…</p>

415

<p>Question: If you sent a follow up email to your regional rep showing interest still, did any of you get a response from them? Just curious …</p>

416

<p>I did! </p>

417
