Michigan does not have rolling admissions anymore.

I swear, you would think that the people at Harvard and Princeton, when they decided to get back into the Early Action game, would actually spend a couple of hours figuring out what exactly their policy was, and how to explain it clearly, and how to answer definitively the 15-20 most obvious questions about it. But from the evidence it’s hard to believe that happened. At least Harvard got its act together a little on the third try. Now it’s Princeton’s turn.

I have a hard time believing Princeton is going to stick to the position that Virginia residents can’t apply to UVa EA. That’s sort of wantonly cruel, and it’s more restrictive than any other SCEA school.
