thank you!!! appreciate the help!
Did she have to fill out additional applications to be considered for this? Thanks for the info!
Youâre very welcome! Probably a good idea to check in with your guidance counselor as well! Best of luck!
I feel like @sushiritto would have info on this, so TIA- does the 2/18 date (or around then, whenever the first RD wave will come) consist of mostly postponed EA, RD, or a mix of both?
also- I believe I only have a space for the ECI form & NO request for additional grades. does this have any meaning?
I submitted them through the common app and then umich downloaded them. That also meant that they were sent to all other unis listed on my common app. I was okay with that but if ur not then maybe you should separately mail the grades to umich.

Amazing! Our high school doesnât even offer so many AP classes. Congrats! Still hoping my daughter will make it in the next round. UM is her first choice! GO BLUE

No, they decide on the basis of common app application

It will be both but in reality lots of EA kids get accepted in this phase. On CC you should see this but in real life itâs a mix of both and donât think there are breakdowns for this.
Just send what they ask you for. There is no hidden meaning.
As stated above some of you will send things in and still get accepted before they even get it. I am sure there are EA applications they couldnât get to and just a few more weeks to get caught up.
Common App and test optional are clearly the top two reasons we have this madness. It has accelerated over the last few years, but really, it is 20 years in the making. I have no idea the solution, but it doesnât seem sustainable.

Will the acceptances on 2/18 only be for students that applied to Ross or others as well?
If your student was deferred and is writing a letter of continuing interest- advise from FB
- Donât write or send it in rashly. Iâd wait a week. That will help him/her get thoughts together and/or think of more to say or even come up with something different to talk about throughout the week when the pain/hurt isnât so fresh.
- Write about something new,something that isnât already in their application, or expand on an activity that was in the application, but didnât get to be fully explained in the previous essays.
A new sr year honor, an activity that demonstrates interest in whatever was put as the intended major, a cool activity, volunteer opportunity, or anything else theyâve done this year OR that wasnât expounded upon in the original application because there wasnât room. Meaning- tell a unique story thatâs fresh, not repetitive- they already have that info. - Is it truly their first choice? If so, tell them. Repeat that if it was in the application. Perhaps expound more on why itâs his first choice
- On the same subject- show something unique about the university that canât possibly be done at another university. It could be a professor whose research is uniquely tied to life goals. It could be a program, that no other school offers. This will require research. If UM really is the first choice, itâs worth it to spend time learning about it to write well about the opportunity.
- Use the word count. Be succinct and clear, be careful of saying too much or using too many filler words. You only have a certain amount of words. Make each one count.

It certainly can be a mix of both EA deferred apps, now considered RD, and â2/1 submittedâ RD apps. But IMO, the vast majority tend to be from the EA deferred pool.
One, from a CC historical perspective, not that many â2/1 submittedâ applicants seem to be post here year-in-year out, but very small sample size, of course. Two, Michigan has had the EA deferred apps since 11/1, so theyâve gone through the 2-3 reviews already. I mean, if Iâm an AO, Iâd prefer that pile (11/1) over the other pile (2/1). Three, IMO again, getting your app in by 11/1 shows more âdemonstrated interestâ in Michigan than taking an extra 3 months to submit an â2/1 submittedâ RD app.
Again, this is my speculation, since Michigan doesnât publish the stats of 11/1 vs. 2/1.

Heard people were talking about Umich didnât have the time to go through all EA applications. Think it kind of explain why all of my kidâs friends from his school were postponed. They review applications from the same school at once? But my sample size is small. It is only from my kidâs friend circle.
Great Advice!
