[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do we really believe the new ED is aimed at instate kids?  My guess it's for the purpose of getting early commits from OOS kids at the high OOS tuition.  I just think it's going to be a harder sell for OOS kids [b]to commit early to a state school at such a high tuition[/b] without waiting for other offers.  We shall see. [/quote]

Why? People commit early to more expensive private schools all the time.[/quote]

From my experience, the typical OOS UMich ED student is a rich east coast prep schooler that was out of the running for an Ivy spot. I think a lot of these families will probably jump at the UMich ED opportunity if they know their kid has no shot at an Ivy. UofChicago has carved out a niche in taking 2-4th decile rich prep school applicants in ED. I think UMich can do a similar thing by swooping up median-level prep schoolers in the ED round. These kids are rich and can don't require scholarships and they are usually incredibly well prepared for college. [/quote]

Damn, the contempt of this poster is unreal.

Anyway, I am going to spend the next 4 months trying to convince dc to switch ED choice from Chicago to Michigan. [/quote]
