No. UM is a safety for ivy kids. They won’t ED UM if they have the chops for ivy.

Well, not going to be much of a safety any more.

We’ll see. UVA has ED and it still serves as an Ivy kid safety. Like UVA, Michigan ED will attract oos kids who need an admissions bump and whose parents don’t mind shelling out private school tuition for a state university. But this is a lower tier candidate.

You are a dick. That’s all.

Why are they making the change? Was their yield SO bad?

And do they have enough dorm rooms?

My DD's top choice was UM, and that's where she's going. All 5 on APs, 35 ACTs, top rigor classes and intense impactful ecs. And to the poster above, I'm pretty sure my DD could run circles around you. Her older sister's at a top ivy and she knew she did not want the same experience.

Yes this will attract low tier OOS candidates on par with the in-state cohort.

2300 new dorm rooms will be opening in fall 2026.

harsh but true. UVA ED is a second or third decile choice for our private. A few top kids love it and ED but most in the top decile do EA and hope for an ivy or Duke in ED (or RD). Top 10% has 97% acceptance in EA for UVA in state.

For OOS, private tuition in a large public school, and ED binding? That's extreme. For that tuition, you better have several options for comparison.

The oos willing to pay is for kids that it’s a reach and they’ll be delighted to get in.

They’ll get SO many in-state ED applications. It’s not like Virginia that has UVA, W&M and kids going to private schools. Grew up in Michigan and UofM is the goal for high achieving students.

All of the top schools should offer ED.

Paying private Top 10 tuition for a big ten state university OOS is a tough sell for many. So, ED will definitely help their yield.

Looks like it will take effect for the cohort applying starting this August.

Why wouldn't it be if they are paying OOS tuition. The challenge is convincing out of states to commit to that tuition for a big state school. ED will help them by getting those early contractual commits. Good move by them
