University of Michigan - Deferral Thread

<p>I guess they are only releasing honors college information today. </p>

<p>I got the deferral letter that doesn’t exactly require them (I’ll post below). Due to biting off way more than I could chew (all honors classes/Hard teachers), my grades took a bad turn 1st semester. I went from straight A’s at the end of my junior year, to 5 B’s and only 2 A’s. Would it be beneficial to still turn them in, or should I hold off?</p>

<p>Know you’re Michigan rep that visits your school. </p>

<p>@zippy0223 The Michigan admission territory rep is very helpful. You really need to make contact so they will flag your application as a serious student. I took no chances and sent my 7th semester in. If your school uses Parchment, they were probably already sent in. UICU released all decisions today so I bet some OFS spots will open up. </p>

<p>Please tell me we are hearing back this Friday!</p>

<p>maybe we really wont know till friday as they bs alot in the live chat</p>

<p>@billcsho - applied early in October, so was a true deferral. Thanks for the info on the Regents Scholarship. Still finding it strange that they deferred then awarded a merit scholarship.</p>

<p>There were students applied EA but received an e-mail saying the decision will be out in Jan due to the volume of application. Those were notified on 1/31 but were not considered deferred. I know quite a few students like that. Perhaps part of your application came in late that put you in the back of EA line although you submitted the CA in October.</p>

<p>I honestly think they defer when they haven’t had time to get through an application thoroughly. </p>

<p>That was already discussed at length earlier in the EA thread and when it became a hot topic, an official college rep from Mich weighed in and debunked it. </p>

<p>this is what they said when i live chatted them about any decisions being released this friday.
"As far as I know, I haven’t heard of decisions being released then, but they may decide to. "</p>

<p>Anyone knows if they are going to release any decisions this Friday?</p>

<p>they will never say definitively that decisions will be released on friday </p>

<p>That question seriously needs to stop being asked. Nobody knows for sure and anyone that says it will is going off speculation. </p>

<p>Okay this is just my OWN personal opinion so take it with a grain of salt. Last year, I received my admission on Friday March 1st, which also happened to be the same day uofm went on spring break. They LOVE to admit students during a break because the counselors don’t have to respond to a bunch of emails right away. I am feeling strongly that the next round of admissions will be Feb 28th, as we go on SB that day this year. Best of luck to all!</p>

<p>Nice theory YBhope, but the students and faculty get spring break off. The admissions office remains open during the university’s spring break. The counselors will still be there reviewing applications.</p>

<p>Does anyone think that decisions will be released tomorrow? I just can’t take this waiting game anymore.</p>

<p>“Last year, I received my admission on Friday March 1st, which also happened to be the same day uofm went on spring break……… I am feeling strongly that the next round of admissions will be Feb 28th, as we go on SB that day this year….”</p>

<p>The EA notices came out at the end of December. The first round of notices to deferred people took about a month (the weekend of Friday 1/31). If the next round is on 2/28 that would would make sense. It may not be related to spring break, just that it takes them a month to get through batches. </p>

<p>Or they plan on releasing in monthly batches :slight_smile: or they are watching the commitments and deposits and adjusting accordingly. </p>
