<p>Applying early is always better, but this peristent rule of thumb that anything after November is "too late" is misleading and does prospective students who read this site a true disservice. Yes, applying early ups your chances, because oftentimes schools tighten down in January-February and start being more selective. However, it's not the kiss of death to apply later!. A lot of students, particularly out-of-state students, get their apps finished up over the holiday break.</p>

<p>You look like a strong candidate. U-M continues to make admissions decisions throughout the year. I say go for it.</p>

<p>Well, I'm glad it lit a fire under your tail. But I think it would be a real tragedy if people didn't apply to schools because of this fairy tale that no one gets in if they don't apply by 10/31.</p>

<p>Then I came here..</p>

<p>Now I submitted...</p>

<p>Samwise, I would say that even if you send in your application now, you have a good chance. Your ACT and GPA are practically perfect.</p>

<p>Thanks guys, I'm hoping to finish the app by late this week or early next. Just finishing up the UIUC essays, so Michigan is next on the list.</p>
