Tulane Admissions Acceptance Rate Sham?

Who knows why some students accepted to more selective schools, turned down at a given school? My son’s school has a lot of Tulane kids. It’s a popular destination for grads from that school. With good merit money too.

The year my son graduated, a number of them who got into Tulane early were deferred from UMich. Yet there were a few, not as many, but a few in the area who were the other way around. It was puzzling to all who knew about it. No rhyme or reason at all I heard a lot of murmurings about the games Michigan was playing because a few of those kids were way up there in probabilities of getting accepted to highly selective schools (which they were). I have no clue if it’s true that either school, Michigan or Tulane were trying to get out of position of being the early back up school to more selective choices. I don’t understand, if so, how either school picked who to defer.
