This isn't true, they have tons of seats. Generally at each of the top high schools in MoCo they accept like 10 students.

Not true that they have a lot of seats. You can look at their CDS and see the truth.

They enrolled 8K students this year, that's a lot

We'll have to wait and see how many students apply ED, but it should be a pretty big number. This will also help Michigan's yield rate get above that magic 50% number.

Ha! DC with 1580 SAT was not an auto-admit during EA rounds.

Did they eventually get in? Applied EA with same score.

1,000 athletes each year. Do you think they had to ED?

I mean, 1,000 athletes at the school total. So 250 a year??

What is your point? Places like Dartmouth have like 200 seats after legacy and athletes

Michigan is a huge school. Sometimes I think people on DCUM forget that Michigan enrollment is huge. It's 5 or 6 times the size of an Ivy freshman class.

In Virginia,...... what?

If these Yorktown kids have the stats to get into Michigan, they could get into UVA. Hard to believe there are 70 kids that would pay $80,000 a year for Michigan knowing they could very likely go in state to UVA for half the cost.

There are reasons students would chose one over the other. While they attract similiar kids, some want to leave VA and some want to stay instate. Some programs are stronger at one or the other. Some want a bigger school in a strong college town, some want a smaller, more intimate feel. I would suspect that 70 is the number of apps in. You can see that on Naviance, but it does not show what admissions path they chose.

I get all the reasons. My Virginia kid applied ED to Michigan. The idea that 70 public school kids are willing to be locked into Michigan’s very high tuition (they give basically no aid OOS) is what is surprising.

Do you know the population at Yorktown? This is totally on point with the school demographics.

It’s possible 70 students applied either EA OR ED. But it is not possible 70 applied ED from Yorktown. Not possible given last year’s numbers with a smaller class for 2026.

PP, I was referring to the comment about the high cost of OOS tuition. I don't think most of Yorktown is concerned with that.

I just hope my DC gets in ED! Good luck to everyone.

Is a Dartmouth a new unit of measure, like a banana or a giraffe?

Lmk Our privates CCO has indicated they expect very few spots in OOS Michigan regular decision for computer science or engineering as that is where the vast majority of ED applications are coming in.

Ask your college counseling office to do some digging into this.

My DC attends a private school. From chatter, DC knows of 5 Michigan EDs: 2 engineering, 2 LSA and 1 Ross. Not sure if this is all as some kids keep this information secret.
