Except waitlists don't move until well after that so kids waiting for Michigan, etc may be waiting until June or later.  [/quote]

If you get into Michigan in June, do you still get into the dorms? How do you even find a roommate? [/quote]
I know a kid who got off the Michigan waitlist last June and didn't seem to have an issue with getting dorm housing/roommates. Same for late moving waitlists at other schools like northwestern, columbia, unc, and duke. There was a lot of late waitlist movement among my kid's friends last year! (Kids use social media to find roommates) [/quote]

There are new apartment buildings being built as we speak.  And, there are new dorms coming online.  Plus some enrolled kids' plans change.

Michigan does not have the tradition of housing overflow kids in common areas/lounges for fall semester.  PSU did that for decades.

I also think Michigan expects to lose some even as it also gains from kids switching.

We are in-state.  We had a friend's kid get off the waitlist in mid-May.  His grad announcements went out with a rival school on them.

I have seen several people on here report kids leaving U of M for UVA due to extremely late admission.  Not clear when these happened but I understand that it makes financial sense.[/quote]
