University of Michigan Early Action Class of 2019 Discussion

One other thing the schools counselor told us. Her prior years admission average ACT at this point was a 33. The same was true the year before. This year it’s a 31. She said in prior years she had no kids with 35s deferred. This year she has 6. She also said the weighted GPA average of so far admitted students was MUCH lower than in the past ( about a 4.1… Last year 4.4). Thus she said reflects that admission was much more common so far among " regular" class students than honors/AP kids. She recognizes small numbers to work with but has been struck by how many lower stat kids were admitted EA vs prior years. She said when people first started reporting back she actually wondered if there was a computer glitch and the admitted students were going to get an oops e mail.

And yes @bilscho. This is OOS
