<p>ccrunner and others Q: the OOS acceptance phenomenon this year is not just a CC observation. Numerous guidance offices in NJ have confirmed this with their Naviance scattergram systems…many, many more OOS students have already been admitted through ER this year, with significantly lower stats than were admitted last year. One school, in fact, has documented that with 30 total ER applicants, 27 have been admitted…One could just say that this year’s group was more qualified? the stats do not bear this out…</p>
<p>The only other explanation that could possibly be provided for this if it’s not for OOS money is that UMich dropped the ball last year and the year before and deferred/waitlisted/rejected many more in these geographic areas than they wanted to…can’t figure out any other reason…</p>
