<p>Is it true that Michigan is ending their rolling admissions practice?</p>
<p>browse the other threads in this forum, there is one exactly like this. A member posted a link that says they are strongly considering eliminating it. Before that, another thread mentioned how one rep came to a school and said they're pretty sure they will get rid of it while another was more obscure about it. Regardless, go in expecting Michigan to pull the plug on Rolling. It really gives no advantage to michigan while giving them a more chaotic flow of applications.</p>
<p>Wait, so does this mean that come application time I can't apply to both Michigan and Cornell? Or will I have to wait for Cornell to accept/reject/defer me and then apply to Michigan?</p>
<p>It's dubious that Michigan will have a radical change of going to ED, so decide whether or not Cornell is the dream school for you.</p>
<p>If it is, then apply to both at the same time, with Cornell's application as ED.</p>
<p>If you're not sure, then apply to both at the same time. Regardless of rolling or non-rolling, it's extremely beneficial to get applications out of the way. Do not, however, compromise the quality of your applications in the process.</p>
<p>Ah, so if Michigan doesn't shift to ED then I can apply to Cornell and UMich at the start of the school year right?</p>
<p>If you plan on applying to Cornell ED while UMich does not implement ED, then do so, but only if you are 100% sure you want to, and that your family can afford to do so.</p>
<p>The main thing here is that you make sure that Cornell IS the school for you, and not just a "well, I would probably love to go there." Be 100% sure. Visit the campus at least once this summer; multiple times preferred. Look into the school's programs, see what the campus life is like, and so forth.
Make sure that Cornell is for you.</p>
<p>Sorry for being tangential, but as long as Cornell is your dream school and UMich does not implement ED, then apply ED to Cornell by all means.</p>
<p>By the way, Cap'n Jazz is a great band :).</p>
<p>I just called the admission office and they said it will be rolling next year.</p>
<p>YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best news I've heard ALL freaking day.</p>
<p>Don't be quick to believe. That may be the university's official plan as of now, but there might be something in the works that can be easy applied in the next few months.</p>
<p>Furthermore, the rolling admission system at Michigan is a piece of crap. I was lucky, getting in automatically within a month or so, but others not so lucky. The system can jerk people around, with delayed responses, deferrals, and waitlists.</p>
<p>Furthermore, it seems more reasonable to do a regular decision system, with one deadline, as it enables a university to look at an applicant class collectively, being able to choose more easily, with the actual response deadline being met.</p>
<p>Mmm..I don't think the admissions office would have been so lazy as to say "Yes, there will be rolling admissions next year" and then leave out any potential changes that might occur. Taiwan explicitly asked about next year and I doubt they would so aptly leave out that kind of information to an applicant who took the time to call.</p>
<p>Who knows, things could change, but I really think they would have made some sort of official announcement forewarning such a big change in their policies.</p>
<p>When i went to visit michigan, i asked one of the admissions officers. he said eventually umich was going to do away with rolling admission and have early action instead. i'm not sure when this change is going to take place, either this coming fall or next fall probably</p>
