<p>Wolverine86,
All of these schools are on rolling admission which is not the same as EA. Michigan used to be rolling with first batch of admissions coming out in early November. This is the first year Michigan joins the common application and adopts EA.</p>
<p>GoBlue81…I think that’s the most confusing part for newbs like us. Most of the schools D1 applied to had EA listed as the requested type of application, but figuring out the differences between “straight” EA, EA with rolling, EA (but you can’t apply EA to anyone else), etc. All we know is we’re thrilled with her results thus far, and hopefully the trend will continue when Michigan starts releasing their results. Thanks much for the info!</p>
<p>
Which school has EA but you can’t apply anywhere else?</p>
<p>Stanford and Yale … single-choice early action.</p>
<p>aglages…Besides the two school GoBlue mentioned, Boston College is similar also. They only allow you to apply EA if your haven’t applied ED anywhere. I also thought I had seen the Single Choice EA discussed in a posting about Boston U somewhere but couldn’t find that stated on their website anywhere</p>
<p>Stanford has relaxed their rules for EA to public schools. You can apply to Stanford EA and also to Michigan. Not the case with Yale.</p>
<p>^ For Yale, you can apply SCEA at Yale and EA at UMich if you’re a resident of Michigan.</p>
<p>Thanks. I knew about SCEA, I guess I didn’t think of it as just EA.</p>
<p>what ACT do u need for OOS to
Get in?</p>

Michigan, largely considered to be the second ranked public institution in North America and generally worldwide in reputation, is an entirely different application process and requires at times phenomenal patience, particularly if your child is deferred (meaning, they choose not to decide until after reviewing Regular pool, which closes in Feb). The best way to deal with the time it takes Michigan is to just pretend you’ve applied ED to an Ivy or RD to an Ivy…meaning you will either know for sure by Christmas, or by April – anything else is just bonus.</p>
<p>It’s not that Michigan is particularly incompetent, per se, though some would argue that its process could be more inviting (that said, as a state school, we don’t exactly expect it to have the same resources as the privates in terms of courting). It’s that it is very much in a different league than most state schools, and deals with a much greater volume, yet has to maintain a delicate InState/Out-of-State ratio, plus asks for additional essays et al (not unlike privates or Ivies), ergo more reading time, etc. Put all of that together and the miracle is that they typically meet their targets.
Good luck to your D. Go Blue!</p>
