Would any one know where to find acceptance rates stats for CS advance selection? Thank you!
Given that Ross explicitly asks to apply EA for the best chance for admission, do you think they would still be admitting students from RD pool (including those deferred/postponed from EA)? I suspect most will be receiving waitlist decisions at best, but I hope I’m wrong.
Signed up for all the webinars and stuff, visited, really drove in my interest in Michigan for my supplementals instead of just bragging about myself. Went into specific mich programs, namely the residential college, and how I would benefit from it and give back.
Not saying you do this, but a mistake I see a lot of people make with supplemental essays is using it as another opportunity to talk about how great they are, rather than going into detail about being a fit for that school

For those deferred, is it possible to receive a decision prior to April?
OOS with high stats, 35 ACT, BC Calc, top private school in NYC, has been running a successful business since 8th grade – deferred from Ross as well. It’s rough out there.
Michigan has a good parent’s facebook group

Depends somewhat on how many students admitted in EA accept the offer. I’m sure they are tracking enrollment deposits weekly, if not daily, so will have a decent idea where they are at come RD decision time.

It is definitely possible. My D21 was deferred at the end of Jan and admitted 2 weeks later by LSA.

They seemed to do this a few year’s ago. They can change this when they want to. They used to have a slow roll admission. I think it really depends on how many commit early in EA and they can ween the acceptance for to their target number.
Daughter admitted OOS - LSA.
NYC public school (not one of the specialized schools)
95.4 UW / 98.68 W
No test scores
9 APs - 3 this year, so no scores for those. The rest were 5s and 4s.
ECs:
- S!NG (student written, composed, produced, directed musicals). Senior year overall commissioner, oversaw ~300 students and exec produced 3 shows; Junior year lead actor, writer, Sophomore year so/fresh commissioner, oversaw ~100 students and produced 1 show, Freshman year writer, director, actor
- Founder of a volunteer afterschool homework helping service that pairs 60+ high school students with local underprivileged elementary school students.
- Psychology research w/ college professor (2 years); paper on early childhood education submitted for publication in international peer-reviewed journal
- Summer film program at Northwestern
- 2 years counselor at summer day camp for ages 4-6
- Mean Girls musical lead (Janis)
- Electric bass, off-rope climber
Common App essay was about S!NG and volunteer program.
Michigan essays were about her collaged identity courtesy of growing up in Brooklyn, and details about professors she’d love to work with, campus ECs she’d like to jump into, etc.
After looking at the Scoir data for her school, we were pretty convinced she wasn’t getting in without test scores. But apparently Michigan means what they say about being test optional. She had a nice narrative - and it was organic rather than forced/obviously for college apps.

Were financial aid offers included with admission offers?
Last year, my son received his scholarships and grants separately.

1490 isn’t the reason she was postponed. We might never know. They don’t release the information your looking for. They still have to see how many people will commit to their acceptance. Many people can’t due to various reasons like cost. Just remember like 64,000 apply EA (estimate), not everyone can get in EA. Just hold tight. See what the acceptances in years past from your school have been like.
Good luck.

Do you believe they would have already admitted in EA enough to account for an expected yield at Ross!
Of course it might vary, and they may have gone conservative in EA round, but just curious to know of those in RD now have any realistic chances.
Without an LSA fallback option it might well be the end of road for Ross otherwise.
My humble opinion is that for UM to keep the yielding with high tag OOS price, you not only need to be top applicant, u also have to have a reason for them to believe you are coming, legacy (still have to be strong applicant ， did some summer stuff there or maybe essay, my salutatorian 2/740 ranked with 1560 Sat also got defer, but UM was never top on our list because the cost and I believe many many OOS are the same, once u get a comparable school, UM is out picture, so UM use defer to allow students to convince them that you really want to come and can pay, just my theory. And i do believe they will do everyone huge favor if they go early decision, but again, that is a lot more application money they can make if they just defer,

I think this is particularly true for CA. They think a kid who has a shot at UCB or UCLA for in state won’t go to Michigan and pay more. Yet I can tell you so many kids want to leave the state and experience something new. Many would pick Michigan over top UCs.
I think Ross is a different ballgame. I am talking arts and sciences school.
