[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While it seems likely that this was simply an issue with time to review the ED apps, for the most part, the fact that this wave is not bound is interesting.

Is it possible that UM decided they did not want to give the appearance of admitting a large portion of the class in ED, and instead, gave the ED-deferred applicants an edge in EA due to their high yield likelihood? Just thinking out loud.[/quote]

That’s a really good point. If they have a substantially higher ED acceptance rate vs. EA acceptance rate, it looks bad from an equity perspective. Normally it doesn’t matter too much, but they’re a public school and state lawmakers already don’t like the OOS percentage.[/quote]
Agreed. And in addition to external Michigan state politics, there may be internal university politics at play. There may be different factions within the administration and even within the admissions office regarding whether they should offer ED at all. That could also explain why the policy was announced with so little notice. [/quote]
