2 perspectives: admitted from Univ perspective, accepted from Student perspective?
Or just, accepted by U (before student commits), then admitted by U (after student commit)?
Same effect

I see what you are saying, as in “student accepted the school’s offer of admission,” though accepted is more commonly used to mean the same as admitted, e.g., “acceptance rate” referring to the school’s rate of admission; we would never say acceptance rate to refer to yield/rate of enrolling admitted students. It’s clearer and more common to use “enrolled” to refer to the student’s action of accepting the offer of admission rather than “accepted.”

That makes sense. So when we say a number of 800 for Ross, that’s what the college will look to admit, to yield a class of ~500 (students who will accept/enroll.)

Yep.
Stated another way: they are offering 800 admittance, hoping in the end 500 will be admitted (will accept their offer).

So using your theory the school might send out 800 offers for admittance but maybe only 200 actually accept the offer.
Then from those maybe only 100 actually enroll and put their deposit down. Nothing is final unless that deposit is paid. Even then. Lol. People have to May 1st to finally accept.

In this example, the difference between 200 “accepting the offer” and 100 enrolling/depositing is confusing and could use some clarification. Is it Michigan-specific? (For other schools, we only speak in terms of accepted = admitted = offers of admission, on the one hand, and then enrolled/deposited on the other hand.) Oh wait, were you all talking about waitlists? It would make sense in that scenario.

No. For some reason people are conflating terms and overcomplicating things.
Kids apply.
Kids are accepted.
Kids can then enroll/matriculate (or from the school’s POV, yield) by ‘saying yes’ using whatever term a school may use.
I’d add too that even after kids ‘say yes’ there is “melt” over the summer bc kids are admitted off the WL at other schools, which they then decide to ‘say yes’ to, pulling out of eg UMich which, depending on whether UMich over or under enrolled could result in UMich going back to the WL.

This point reinforces my belief that the best expected outcome from deferred/RD pool, specifically for Ross, will be a waitlist.
None of the enrollment stats or summer meltdown will count before end of March decision date.
Of course there could be some acceptances too, but too few, if any.

What does the acronym “TO” stand for in “admitted TO during EA”? Thanks in advance.

Thank you!
It appears that a lot of schools are accepting more students, but are requiring a summer start. Does anyone know if Michigan does anything similar?
For those looking at housing but you really just get placed.
Also learning communities.
There are some programs with winter starts. They have a select group that is asked to start in the summer but it’s mostly for kids that might need the extra help getting situated for college.

Same. My daughter is considering going TO since she was postponed. I guess I wonder how an admissions counselor unsees a score already submitted or if the score is deleted from the file.

So when looking at reported scores on the portal, they list all reported AP scores but no score next to SAT. He didn’t apply TO. Should he self report on portal? I thought they see self reported scores on the common app.
I’d contact Admissions, given the deadlines.
UM Admissions site tells you what you need to do to self-report,

He can self report. But is that too late? So strange. All other schools pulled the test score from Common App.
