Really disappointed in U Michigan(assuming other postings correct)

Come on. They said there was no admission release on 3/26 night but it came out right after midnight on 3/27. It does not matter which time zone you are in, it always refers to the time zone of the school. It may be nicer if they could tell you the exact time, however, there is absolutely no mistake that they made.

This is just one instance of them not being completely forthright and insensitive. The whole idea of sporadic release of admissions with no correlation to application submission means students constantly keep wondering if they are still in the game. I am not even sure that it serves the university any good since the accepted students don’t have to respond by May 1 anyway. If yield prediction is their problem they can manage it better with wait-lists or ED.
