Michigan EA

I wonder if some ED defers were held for a second look alongside the many EA applicants. Or if they just got so many ED that they needed more time.
(Mine applied EA —not ED—and got the email today.)

I think it’s this. They accepted so few ED that I think they were looking for certain institutional priorities then punted on other ED apps.

Did your EA kid get a decision? or just an email notification that some decisions were being released?

On the Michigan FB page for that corner AO, she quoted the Michigan AO - it was both EA and ED.

If my EA kid did not receive anything on her portal, is that a rejection? Seeing they are only posting rejections this round?

Can any EA's post stats? Wondering if my EA kids has been rejected.

+1 would love to see some stats for the acceptances in this wave, including unweighted GPA, test scores, major, in state or out of sate, and ED or EA

Major is what I'm seeing.

Feeling bummed here. ED deferral that didn’t hear anything today.

It says on the portal “U-M has released an initial wave of Early Action decisions. If you haven’t received a decision yet, this is not a reflection of your pending decision. More decisions are on the way and will be shared by Jan. 30.”

I haven’t heard of any rejections today, only acceptances.

What major?

While it seems likely that this was simply an issue with time to review the ED apps, for the most part, the fact that this wave is not bound is interesting.

Is it possible that UM decided they did not want to give the appearance of admitting a large portion of the class in ED, and instead, gave the ED-deferred applicants an edge in EA due to their high yield likelihood? Just thinking out loud.
