[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Small point. But after getting ED Michigan, why didn't this kid pull all other apps as required?

Sounds like it was no longer binding and they got in because Michigan screwed up their early binding program and admitted them a week after the regular decision deadlines?

If so, I know lots of kids like this who got in then but had already submitted a ton more applications and were pissed at the way Michigan handled it - so they want to see where the RD cards land.

Yes, that is exactly what happened.  UMich deferred a bunch of ED applicants and then accepted them on Jan. 5. However, once a student is deferred, they necessarily are released from the binding agreement (they have to be because there's no assurance they'll get in) so by that time, all RD applications were in.  Addressing another point here, this kid got waitlisted from UW (non-CS) as an instate applicant and got into UMich OOS, which is quite difficult to do.  Still loves UMich though and will likely commit to there.[/quote]
