<p>Michigan is rolling admission with no obligations. You can still apply to other schools ED, so it's a free roll for you.</p>

<p>UCB and UT-Austin do not offer ED/EA.</p>

<p>Just curious. If you think you can score around 700 for CR, why can't you raise your WR score? It's mostly grammar.</p>

<p>sorry, i made a mistake,Verbal 570,writing700</p>

<p>ED at UVA is unnecesarily ( I know). It will not raise your chances.</p>

<p>I'm from VA and most people who want to do business apply to the Top schools and then apply to UVA as a instate-financial safety. As an international student it probably won't help you as you wouldn't get the instate tuition.</p>

<p>Most kids apply to Wharton/Ross/Tepper/Stern/Haas.</p>

<p>Haas/Tepper are probably the most international drawn and connected with many overseas asians/internationals. </p>

<p>To raise your chances:</p>

<p>Raise the SATs.</p>

<p>Many thanks~</p>

<p>if you step up your verbal even a little bit, I think you have great chances for all the colleges</p>

<p>U of Mich:
math 600-800 85%
verbal 600-700 50%</p>

<p>I would try to bump the verbal even a couple points. Carnegie is harder. no clue on Virg. it was never on my list. </p>

<p>also it depends on what you want to study</p>
