Our CCO said it’s 3.95uw requirement for UM EA. In some cases test optional test optional is fine depending song on rest if cohort.

All algo based.

Most of the class gets in regular decision (gpa 3.8-3.95uw) with a few in the 3.7-3.8 range.

No one ever before below 3.7 uw. And remember, Michigan re-calculates GPA to take out pluses and minuses - do use the recalculated number. You can Google how to re-calculate your kids GPA according to UM.

MI EA is about GPA and how many from your school are applying and where you fall in that cohort.

Congrats!!

So this is her backup to Ivy?

3.92, 1550, Top DC Private. Deferred.

Hope he gets in! Kind of surprised she was deferred as she has great stats and is legacy. MI seems rough this year.

Astonishing that someone with these stats is bothering to apply to you of them. Others from the big three with such stats, almost surely end up at IV and other schools much higher ranked than Michigan.
Something seems fishy

You of them is clawing its way up the ladder. Pretty impressive when you think how many people east of Pittsburgh think the Midwest is only good for growing corn & rust.

Stop trying to make "you of them" happen, Gretchen.

To help overcome entitlement.

What’s entitlement? So far she has 3 rejections and 3 deferrals!! Shouldn’t have applied early.

entitlement (noun): the baseless assumption that one deserves what one wants.

About 25-30 percent of students from private schools in DC apply EA to Michigan (starting from the very top students with 4.0 type GPAs). No surprise here.

True, our top DC private has had around 35 students apply each year. And this is not counting those who withdraw after getting in ED/REA elsewhere by mid-December.

They do care. I’ve heard it bumps it up a bit, especially if they’ve visited campus, then the acceptance rate is similar to in-state. Congrats still, it’s a great option!

My kid with similar stats from a "big 3" decided on Michigan. What would that be a surprise?
