[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For GDS, of the schools posted to insta 2022 and 2021, Michigan was the #1 highest school GDS kids went to across those two classes (caveat: not everyone posted to insta 2021, most kids did 2022).

But even if this is a pretty good sampling, and assuming typical Michigan yield of about 50%, then I'm guessing 10 acceptances per year +/- (with big error bar and assumptions above)

2021 and 2022
University of Michigan	8
Tufts	7
Wash U	7
Brown	6
NYU	6
Duke	5
Cornell	4
Harvard	4
Macalaster	4
Tulane	4
University of Toronto	4
University of Wisconsin	4
Boston College	3
Georgetown	3
UPenn	3
University of Chicago	3
Wesleyan	3
Yale	3[/quote]

How many per year do you think apply?  I would imagine a good proportion of the kids do who don't not match with ED elsewhere do (?)

Out of state acceptance rate is around 18 percent now. (Well last year at least)

Let’s say that GDS or Sidwell have 50 percent higher acceptance rate. That might be wrong BTW. So their acceptance rate is 22.5% - if one assume 10 acceptances per year then 45 kids a year are applying for those 10 spots. That’s 1/3rd of the GDS class I think.

All of these numbers have big error bars around them of course.

And yes, I think every SCEA and EA kid applied to U of M as well. Or many of them. Of course a number of those get into their dream SCEA or EA and need to or will withdraw from U of M. So perhaps in reality 30 kids are competing for those 10 acceptances per year.
