@ChoatieMom I applied ED to Penn, but I know I won’t get in and definitely have no expectations there; I only did it because I did not want to waste the benefit of ED. If Michigan had ED, I would have applied there. You do have a valid point; however, in my head Michigan is my first choice and where I want to go, despite what I did for ED… if that makes any sense. I may technically be “ivy-hopeful,” but sure as hell not “ivy-bound” haha.

@bearcats that is a bit discouraging haha. Maybe that person exaggerated “gibberish” and really just wrote a mediocre, albeit passing, essay?
