@camcam2022 “Life is like a box of chocolates, you just never what you’re going to get.” 
As I said earlier, HS yield is another piece of the puzzle and a common characteristic amongst the several people who have contacted me privately.
When I sent an LOCI I also got an email back saying that my interest will be noted in my application. Ive never received an email telling me that they had all the information they needed to make a decision… is this good or bad
Are there any reports of disappearing decision tabs out there today? Keep us apprised. You never know. A pleasant surprise is always possible.
still there @sushiritto
Someone in my school got in a couple of days ago
1320 SAT
OOS
3.8-ish GPA
As seems typical, there are some late® decisions after a “wave.” Last Tuesday would fit the 3/1 “wave” pattern.
While I think the probability is low, I was really hoping for a new batch of decisions for you students waiting. And the disappearing tab thing is a “tell.” Plus, it’s a quiet week in AA, where almost all students left town.
Hey again!
I somewhat recently posted about my school being a feeder, yet not having had any acceptances after deferrals yet. While I still believe this to be true, I have come across at least one person who was rejected after deferral. She was quite below the par though, I’m not sure it really changes much. My school is Troy High btw.
@Crivelo where did you find out that Troy High is a high-ranking feeder school to UM? We also live in-state, my daughters attend Rochester Adams - which have had a number of acceptances already. My D is currently deferred.
Troy High was the number 2 feeder last year and has consistently ranked very high on that list. The uofm rep for this area always mentions it.
Thank you, I was wondering how you got that information.
When feeder school is mentioned, are we purely speaking of in state or can they be out of state as well? Based off Naviance, here are the stats of applicants to U of M for our HS. Our graduating class size is roughly 165 per year so you can see Michigan if quite popular (and also a big time safety school for the IVY kids). I think the stats are pretty good considering we are out of state, NY. But last year, was a bit ugly. Hopefully not a new trend.
2016 22 Applied, 7 (32%) Accepted, 2 Enrolled
2017 25 Applied, 10 (40%) Accepted, 5 Enrolled
2018 31 Applied, 5 (16%) Accepted, 3 Enrolled
The Year of the Golden Dragon. Enough said. 
Higher # of applications, lower acceptance rate, higher yield. Makes sense to me. Tough, tough year. At this NY school, a 60% yield in 2018. 
When evaluating our local NorCal school’s Naviance, a similar pattern arose. About a 35-40% acceptance rate and roughly a 40-50% yield. And I believe other local private and public HS’s in the area are roughly about the same. And that’s why I say a HS’s yield rate, obviously with exceptions, is another piece of the 1,000-piece admissions puzzle in my eyes.
Hi Kyledad
Curious did a champion graduating football team and the cheerleaders all apply to U of M in 2017? Seriously though is there anything about the High School that particularly stands out to colleges?
Really not that familiar with the class of 2017 but the 2016 class is not that much different. I do not recall anything fantastic about either of those classes but i will say that we normally have generally very bright kids although each graduating class only 160-175 kids. To give you some perspective, its not unusual for 40 kids to apply to Cornell on a given year. Between 20-30% get accepted. Many use Michigan as a backup. As far as football, we are a Lacrosse feeder school. The school won 3 state championships and most of the players go D1 in the Northeast and Atlantic coast. I do not recall any going big ten. Unfortunately my son plays baseball. The school district is pretty affluent so perhaps having parents paying full fare may play into the equation? I will say that we do have quite a few STEM girls who are incredibly bright, perhaps that my be part of it as well? For the record, my son is deferred for COE and never applied to Ivy’s so Michigan is choice if he is lucky enough to get in. He is already in on the other Big Ten schools so has choices but he is waiting for Michigan.
@Mominmich Hey! So “feeder” is kinda a slang word. “Feeder” just refers to any school which sends a very high number of students to a college. Troy High has roughly 80-110 seniors accepted every year, therefore making it a “feeder”.
Any tabs down?
Given that there have not many reports of tabs down, I think we can assume that there will not be a wave tomorrow. Those reports were probably just the individuals getting in between waves
Guessing there will be the typical mini-wave of outliers. Likely a couple handfuls of accepts across programs. No real predictable fabulation of tabulation to indicate a sunami of accepts. Few Happy Faces ? anticipated through the weekend as they learn they are indeed in.
Thanks @J123D123 . You are a veritable Nostradsmus!
when is the next wave? i still have’nt heard from umich
