[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, several large schools did the same a few years ago. [b]They want to hear that you actually are applying because you’re considering it rather than just spraying applications. It’s yield protection to some extent.[/b]

To the previous point, my kid got in and it’s high on the list. He has two friends (not from DMV) who got into Michigan and were deferred from UW.  They’re great kids but not high stats, so the surprise was more on the Michigan admission than the Wisconsin deferrals. [/quote]

This.  Wisconsin and Michigan both do this.  If they know that the GPA of an actual matriculant from your high school is around a 3.7, they're not going to admit you with your 3.95 unless there is some overwhelming evidence in your application that you'll in love with their school.

Each of these schools have territory reps that know your high school inside and out. Michigan now has 2 reps just for DC! They are parsing the data of who was admitted from DC last year and who actually enrolled. On top of this colleges have people whose entire job is Enrollment Management.  It's all data driven and becoming increasingly this way each year.  [/quote]
