<p>No, apply on the last day and write terrible essays for a better chance. jk =P </p>
<p>Anyways, yeah, apply before nov.1st and write good essays and you’ll be fine. From what I’ve heard, U of M doesn’t really care about essays, but its still good to make them great.</p>
<p>ok…thanks. I really hope i get full need-based else i might be stuck going to random state university.</p>
<p>oh and just so you know, michigan isn’t guaranteeing a 100% full need. However, you should be getting around 25k in grants given your financial situation.
There will also be loans, workstudy included in your package as well.</p>
<p>it costs ~25K for one year. Are u saying they will most likely give me 20K or what?</p>
<p>Given your financial situation. Most likely (and I say most likely), you will get enough to pay for your tuition and room & boarding. However, there isn’t a guarantee. Square said you should be getting 25K and that’s in grants, that covers pretty much all of your tuition and room. Grants do not have to be repaid.</p>
<p>You can calculate your expected family contribution at [University</a> of Michigan Office of Financial Aid: Financial Aid Calculators](<a href=“http://www.finaid.umich.edu/financial_aid_basics/calculators.asp]University”>http://www.finaid.umich.edu/financial_aid_basics/calculators.asp)</p>
<p>my EFC is $0 from me and my parents’ income. Now my question…how good is Umich for pre-med?</p>

<p>thank you! how much weight do they put on essays?</p>
<p>A good essay will help someone who is borderline. But judging from your score, you’ll get in regardless.</p>
<p>But even knowing that, I know you won’t blow off your essay amirite? ;)</p>
<p>^haha you are absolutely right. Sometimes I dont know why I work so hard when I can take it easy and have it come to the easy way…lol</p>
<p>You know there are other scholarships beside the ones UM will give out. Considering your ethnicity (Go Go Desi Go:)), you will get financial aid.</p>
