[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's crazy because they deferred many 4.0/1580s and admitted a lot of 3.7/1450s. this makes no sense because they could have locked down those high stats kids and now they'll lose many of them. They always end up taking the 3.7/1450s off the waitlist but why take them now?

it's going to have a ricochet effect of chaos because some of the 4.0/1580s would have Ed'd elsewhere in a prior year and would have been locked down and out of the admission pool but [b]now they're in the RD pool [/b]which always causes chaos for a high school they end up accumulating admissions they'll never take.

According to reports from elsewhere, some deferrals say their portal says decision by end of January (which means they're in the EA pool), and other deferrals are saying decision by April (RD pool).[/quote]

My kid is a high-stats deferral with a January decision date. Even if he gets in then, he's staying in the RD pool for good other schools. Now wants to consider his options. [/quote]

As he should. Michigan just lost him and many like him and took kids with much lower stats. So stupid. It's like no one told them what the definition of ED was. [/quote]

I’m the PP, and here’s the thing: schools have priorities. Everyone assumed Michigan’s priority with ED was to get the highest stat kids. Turns out…we were all wrong! And that’s their call to make. My kid doesn’t regret EDing there. If he ends up getting in, it will definitely be a top option. But now he’ll have other options, too.[/quote]

But what was the priority? DC is a high stats OOS kid, legacy, etc. that was deferred. Why institute ED if you are just going to postpone everyone? [/quote]

They didn't postpone everyone. One theory is that the priority was undersubscribed majors. Who knows? Michigan isn't telling us right now.

I'm  disappointed my high stats kid got deferred. But I also understand that high stats are not the only thing worth prioritizing. [/quote]
