University of Michigan Early Action Class of 2019 Discussion

<p>when will the deferred students hear back?</p>

<p>My letter says i need to make my counselor to send my score from this semster </p>

<p>Here’s the difference between the two deferral letters:</p>

<p>If additional information has specifically been requested, such as first semester grades from senior year, it’s because one of the people reviewing your file thought it was necessary to best assess your application. There was either a concern with your grades through 11th, or perhaps the bulk of your most rigorous classes are in senior year. Either way, they weren’t confident that you would be admitted with what they currently saw in your file. Your application has been “set aside” and will continue on for further review once the additional information has been submitted. Once received, your application will be marked as complete and go back to the reviewer that had requested the information.</p>

<p>For students that received the other deferral letter, their application has gone through a complete review and received a final evaluation. That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a good thing or a bad thing. Since U-M sends minimal, if any, denies during EA, students that just missed being admitted or are among the weaker candidates all received this letter. Here’s an important distinction for students that received this letter. Sending in an updated transcript will NOT automatically generate an additional look at your application. It will just be added to your file and your territory counselor will not necessarily know it’s there unless they happen to look for it or you alert them. If Michigan is still your top choice, my advice is to write your territory counselor now and let them know that you are still very interested and plan to send in updated grades once they are available. Then once your updated transcript has been sent in, wait a couple of days for it to work it’s way through the system and then follow up with another email to let them know it should now be ready for them to review.</p>

<p>For either group, new test scores that are submitted will automatically generate an email to your admissions rep to alert them that new scores are in the system. Sending in additional letters of recommendation, new awards, etc. will rarely have any impact. At this point, strong grades, improved test scores, and continued interest are going to be the most influential in improving your standing.</p>

<p>I grabbed a brochure from UMich in a college fair that they went to and for some reason, they accepted significantly more people from New York than any other states except Michigan, so I don’t know if that played a factor since I guess UMich wanted more people from NY?</p>

<p>Deferred, in-state, 35 ACT 3.7 GPA. When did everyone who got in/deferred submit their apps? I submitted mine a day or two before the deadline.</p>

<p>Why haven’t I received anything yet? Other students at my school received emails at 3:00ish and I’m just sitting her</p>

<p>Michigan turns down many students with 32+ ACT scores. To be honest, Michigan places a lot more weight on involvement and GPA than it does ACT scores. Michigan also has a history of deferring highly qualified students. A lot of students with 35/4.0s are using Michigan as a backup plan. If you did not demonstrate a strong interest in the University of Michigan, why would they expect such a qualified student to matriculate? The university must look at its yield and target the most qualified students who will actually enroll in the university. </p>

<p>My son was accepted! no word on Ross yet, though. When does that happen?</p>

<p>Deferred- OOS, LSA. 3.8 UW GPA and 33 ACT. Really disappointed, but I guess its motivation to put even more work into my RD apps! </p>

<p>I got accepted!!! SO HAPPY! Im In state and have a 3.81 GPA and 33 ACT</p>

<p>2400, all As, and deferred. My recommendations and extra curriculars were good enough for me to get into Harvard, but not U of M… Did they pull a Tufts this year and defer those they thought wouldn’t go? Or maybe I messed up my supplements or something idk but CONGRATS to those who got in!</p>

<p>@OmgHarvard Brilliant, mature way of looking at it. Where you go means nothing on its own… What you do in college, that’s what matters. I wish you the best of luck! Harvard would be lucky to have you, BTW!</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.” </p>
