What the below does not take into account is that Michigan can accept/reject/defer - i do wonder how many rejects occur at EA.

Last year: Michigan received 84,000 apps, about 55,000 +/- of them during EA. Michigan will accept about 15,000 applicants overall, EA and RD. About 50% of them usually during EA.

So, if 8,000 (50%-ish) are accepted in EA of about 55,000 +/- apps, then a great majority of the EA applicants will be deferred to the RD round(s) in February, March and April.

yes we have heard anecdotally from a consultant w “inside” connection that well over 100k this year - could really impact OOS admit numbers if that is indeed true. Not fun, but good luck all

I believe it. Know tons of kids who applied there. We're stressing here as it is #1 choice right now if DS gets in.

One of our top choices at well. My kid is at Jackson-Reed formerly Wilson and says traditionally students from there do not get in EA but get deferred and do have a decent chance of getting in later. So...we will see.

Colleges take a risk of losing top students when they do this because many kids in this climate do not want to wait until March or April. Do they take any kids Early Action in DC?

Eh, if they have no ED to start with, it means yield is not the most important thing. They're mandated by the state of michigan to have 51% in-state, so they probably need to make sure they don't over-admit out of state. Thus, deferring kids from DMV.

exactly and this makes it infinitely harder to manage when u pop up 20% in applications in one year. That’s why EA likely to be a massacre this year - not trying to be a negative nellie but just considering the variables, and geez louise this may be a tough year for my kiddo and the rest

Did DS send an ILY letter?

Our DCs attended a NYC private. Yes, the decently smart legacies were admitted EA and chose it rather waiting for RD. A couple more decently smart were admitted who sent FC letters and had parents with lots of hooks (but not enough to get into an Ivy as they found out in ED). In RD, more were admitted, including some geniuses w/no hooks who struck out at HYPSM.

There is no mandate for 51% in-state. I agree with your ED comment. I always laugh when I hear people claim that Michigan protects its yield more so than most other top universities.

No idea what that is?

I believe it means an "I love you" letter.

Yup. Know several kids from JR who were accepted EA.
