The end of rolling admissions?

I think rolling admissions will soon be a thing of the past. It worked when Michigan was getting 18,000 or 20,000 applicants. But now, Michigan has over 25,000 applicants and I think it will hit 30,000 next year. I think Michigan will move to a regular decision admissions process in the next year or two and will put in place an ED option…to start with. EA is too non-commital. I think if Michigan starts with an EA option, most applicants will apply EA rather than RD and things won’t change much. Once Michigan’s new RD/ED system is well in place, I can see Michigan swapping the ED in favor of the EA option.
