Hooks: legacy (if considered), URM, First-Gen, Recruited Athlete. Everyone has excellent ECs and essays-- that’s not a hook.

Thank you! Best of luck to your daughter. You must be dying for her to get home!
Thanks… not sure how they look at homeschooling. It very likely stands out in some areas (e.g., Silicon Valley), so it may at the very least get an AO’s attention. More likely those relevant CS ECs put your son over the top. Congrats and good luck at Penn RD if that is top choice!

lol. Well I’m not counting on her getting in. She’s OOS, test optional. But I’m not even sure what her unweighted or weighted GPA is. I think 3.8 is unweighted but she takes all IB classes at her school. She wants to be a neuroscience major. Still, doubtful she gets into Michigan. But huge congrats to you!!!

Thanks! I think he’d still love to go to Penn but it’s good to know that no matter what he’ll have some great options. We were fully expecting a deferral for Michigan so this was a pleasant surprise!

weighted 4.91, unweighted 4.0, 1580 SAT, deferred CS
Yes they do reject.
I am on another board and have seen over a dozen rejections so far there
My race was put down as Asian(Indian), and the section of whether I consider myself Latino or Hispanic was additionally checked.
Short answer: mixed

Strong EC’s (selective free summer program; a competitive paid internship; club leadership; 4 honor societies; AP Scholar with distinction; one national level prize in a niche area)

Daughter was deferred LSA (Applied to Ross)
OOS
4.0 uw/ 5.07w
1530 SAT
EC was mostly dancing related and decent essay (imho)
Was accepted into UIUC Gies (in state), so that plus Purdue acceptance w/ merit is good enough for us. Lots of regular decision results to look forward to in March.

yes, deferred , cs
Last year was considered unusual IMO. Typically, Michigan has had RD release dates about 1-2 weeks after the Ross release dates. This year, those Ross BBA dates are:
Friday, Feb. 17, 2023
Friday, Mar. 17, 2023
Friday, April 14, 2023
