[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of this talk about “Ivy level” kids as if Ivy admittance for unhooked kids isn’t a total crapshoot. Plenty will take a Michigan ED option if ED offers a clear boost.[/quote]

Don’t disagree with you, but the ones that have a legit shot won’t settle.[/quote]

I know very few kids at our private that have Michigan as a first choice, nearly all see it as a nice fallback option.[/quote]

And this is why it's smart for Michigan to use ED to distinguish between the first-choice and fallback kids.[/quote]

Except then they will lose out on the higher stat kids.  We’ll have to see how they balance it out.[/quote]

Yes, they will lose out on the kids that are the very, very top that use Michigan as a respectable back up. Ivy caliber kids. But these kids USUALLY do not end up matriculating to Michigan. The next level kids are the ones that will ED to Michigan. These are the top 20% of the class, 34/1500 kids. Hardly low stats kids. [/quote]
Yes but Michigan gets a lot of these top kids now and will lose them. Disagree that next level kids will ED — the level below that.[/quote]

Agree to disagree. I think you underestimate the appeal of Ann Arbor, Big10 football, fraternity parties, etc. to a certain demographic. My 1520 sat, top 20% DS already decided he will be EDing to Michigan. [/quote]
