[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My advice—Don’t bother with an ED to Michigan. They deferred basically everyone. [/quote]

I feel badly for the kids who ED to Michigan. Some regret it and wish they used their ED elsewhere. [/quote]

yes, it as a total waste and may completely screw over a few of these kids in the long run. 
These kids lost their ED chance. Michigan basically took their apps and treated them like their traditional EA pool.

It only screws them if they applied to Michigan thinking it was a slam dunk for ED rather than because it was their first choice. Which is why trying to game ED is dumb.

And I say this as the parent of a kid who was deferred from Michigan ED and has the stats/profile that would suggest a high-likelihood admit. Kid applied ED to their first choice; applying and getting in ED somewhere else would have resulted in regrets about losing the chance to go to the first-choice school. They still could get in EA/RD, in which case it will have all worked out. Or they won’t, and they’ll choose another school knowing they gave themselves their best chance at their first-choice school, but it just didn’t work out.[/quote]
