115K total applications and 109K first-year applications.
What’s so special about Michigan? Like sure great school, but 100,000 for a good state school feels insane.
It’s very popular in affluent suburbs in major metro areas (Scarsdale, Wilmette, etc) where kids want “rah rah” culture with strong academics and reputation. Plus there a lot of legacies across the country whose kids apply. Additionally, it’s very sought for in-state students since it’s a great deal and the state of Michigan doesn’t have any big, private universities.
Does this not describe every state school ever?

This is for ED and EA
Don't believe this. Please post the source
You are correct. These were the total numbers for last year. Sorry.

If true, and let’s say all Americans, they just raised 7.5MM dollars doing nothing. Go Blue! Almost 8MM dollars to weed out the Ivy safety school applicants.

I find it very odd that you are posting the ECs of someone at your child’s high school!!!!
I’m sure their parents would be delighted to read this !!

People are inventing stats. This is the first year they have done ED and have not released data on numbers of applications. the 100K number is the total number of applications (EA + RD) in previous years.

Really weird. This will make people hesitate to try ED next year if they're just going to be strung along.
Of course they accepted people.
The number of ED applications is massive, as you know. So just because everyone in your small sample got deferred, it doesn’t mean that no one got in. 🙄
By the way, one of DD’s camp friends in NYC got in ED. So add that to your anecdotal knowledge.
How many ED apps were there?

Watching reddit, it seemed like all the initial posts were deferrals, and now acceptanced posters are trickling in. It's possible that decisions were slightly staggared.
