<p>@uofmPlease I have special stats since i’m an international student (French). I don’t have a GPA as you guys. I have a 2020 SAT, with 740 in maths. A 112/120 TOEFL. Waiting for SAT II’s. Applying for CoE. I have good EC’s i think, i’ve been in a Gap year and i’ve been working in a Children’s hospital in South America as volunteer for the past three months. I also have an internship at NASA san francisco coming up next month. I don’t think my SAT needs to be as high as others since i’m french (and also speak Dutch and Spanish) and my Math is decent, but still… 2300’s being defferred… I’m paying full tuition, if that matters at this point. I’m hoping my “special” profile might help me.</p>

General Comments/Advice/Hindsight: I think that Michigan wants to see that you really want to attend UMich, and are not just racking up acceptances for fun. I also think that building connections at the University is key. My advice to deferred students is to reach out to a professor in your desired major and talk to them about the programming. It’ll give you a better idea of the school, and may have profound repercussions up the ladder. Most importantly, be yourself. It is more important to talk about the one or two things that you are really passionate about than to have a laundry-list of activities you did just to add to your app. Lastly, keep your heads up. So many students are admitted after being deferred that everyone of you has a good shot of being admitted. Have a happy holidays and don’t focus just on this deferral!</p>

<p>General Comments: U-M was my first choice, and I really wanted to get in. Glad they gave me a chance by deferring me. I actually thought I would be rejected based off of my low GPA and test scores. <em>praying so hard</em></p>
<p>wtf deferred -_-</p>
<p>SAT: 2340, ACT 35, GPA 3.97, 800 Math II, 770 Chem, fuckton of AP’s, 4 years of cross country/track, event captain, loads of volunteering hours, etc etc. </p>
<p>Damn I actually wanted to go there too</p>
<p>@mem227 No, my acceptance letter stated I got into Arts and Sciences. The Ross decisions come out in March/April. </p>
<p>@scalia13 I got in with a 31 ACT Score. </p>
<p>This really isn’t true at all</p>
<p>Sure, you can say Michigan is a reach, but in reality, there is no possible way that this school (with around a 30% acceptance rate overall) would be able to deny all of these 35-36’s and 2300+'s and still have a more qualified entering freshman class. The school wants to protect its yield rate, and understands that the matriculation rate of the top students in the entire country just won’t be that high. These people aren’t getting deferred because Michigan is a reach and they aren’t qualified enough. These people are getting deferred because they’re TOO qualified. </p>
<p>Hey guys I just got Deferred from Michigan, but has anyone actually gotten rejected or do they not do that?</p>
