<p>bclinton: Agree with your point, but I wasn’t, in fact, talking about those who treated UMich as a safety…In fact, was referring to those who thought it was a match based on their stats..(and for some their first choice…)…I just don’t think you can ever consider UMich a safety if you are from OOS (unless they have a strong history of taking students from your school with your GPA)</p>
<p>Regarding their waitlist, if one is deferred and then waitlisted, very often the writing is on the wall…the key line in your post is “at the end of the admissions season”…we are close to being there and they have taken very few from the LSA waitlist, if any…</p>
