Michigan has never had ED before this year. A similar population applies to both. So if a student preferred Michigan but had no change to express it via ED this is the first chance they have ever had.

I am not following your logic. You think people would ED to Michigan over UVA because they prefer to write 2 supplements? Makes no sense.

The best chance for acceptance is ED. 2nd best chance is EA. Lowest chance is RD.

UVA publishes these numbers annually, which then are reprinted in the alumni magazine. This is how it has been for many years.

Ed: deferred to regular admission
Rd: waitlisted

Maybe ea would have been a better choice.

Now that there's no supplementals is there a clear advantage? Imagine EA will be far more popular so maybe ED or RD is the way to go? TIA!
