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.

It says on the portal “U-M has released an initial wave of Early Action decisions. If you haven’t received a decision yet, this is not a reflection of your pending decision. More decisions are on the way and will be shared by Jan. 30.”

What major?

Did your EA kid get a decision? or just an email notification that some decisions were being released?

If my EA kid did not receive anything on her portal, is that a rejection? Seeing they are only posting rejections this round?

I haven’t heard of any rejections today, only acceptances.

On the Michigan FB page for that corner AO, she quoted the Michigan AO - it was both EA and ED.

I think it’s this. They accepted so few ED that I think they were looking for certain institutional priorities then punted on other ED apps.
