@amazon: Yes I got into Stern RD I applied early to UMich, but found out about preferred admission to Ross around the same time I found out about Stern. I am definitely not URM (Asian male). And I am from the NY suburbs which I guess helped my chances.

I am a rising sophomore so I applied 2 years ago. The application pools are getting more competitive with each year but the two year difference shouldn’t make that big of a difference.

I’m not sure why people are telling you to forget Ross as you seem like a very competitive candidate. I do not suggest applying ED to stern because the people that I know who did, did not get any scholarship money.

I originally applied ED to Cornell but was deferred and rejected, so I didn’t think Ross or Stern were viable options for me, but lo and behold I got into both. I chose Stern because I got a significant amount of money (although I don’t have that much financial need), whereas at Ross, I got very little, so Stern was more financially do-able. And I just liked Stern more, though both schools are top-notch programs.
