<p>Clear admit?</p>

3

<p>thanks a bunch</p>

4

<p>yeah...more like a safety!!</p>

<p>Although Michigan is never a complete safety, I would say your chances of getting in, especially if you apply in late August or September, are excellent.</p>

6

<p>does WHEN you apply (for RD) actually matter?</p>

7

<p>lol umich was a safety to one girl in my school. top 5 public school in NJ, 2400 sat, good ec's, and 4.0 uw. No ranking in our school. She got in like August/September.</p>

8

<p>yes, UM is rolling admissions, there is no ED, the earlier you apply, the earlier you are likley to hear (especially with your credentials) - apply before Nov. 1 for scholarship conmsideration</p>

<p>spikemom, thanks for that piece of advice. just wondering, whats it like with other schools' admission timing?</p>

10

<p>Most schools of Michigan's stature do not respond until April 1st...unless you apply ED/EA. That's the beauty of applying to Michigan. If you apply in late August, you hear back by late September...and in your case, it would most likely be an acceptance.</p>

<p>ah, i see. thanks.</p>
