Does applying early to Umich-ann arbor help?

Applying to College

<p>you CAN apply binding ED to another school even if you apply ER to UMich </p>

<p>and apply literally as soon as you can- if you can send in your application in august/September, do it</p>

<p>considering how much admissions at UMich is a crapshoot (a ridiculous amount of people, including myself, were deferred and then waitlisted this year), getting your application in as soon as possible is a big boost. i wish i submitted mine much earlier</p>

<p>YES * 10000</p>

<p>See this waitlist thread for Umich...people with 4.0s and above 31 ACTs got waitlisted simply because they applied too late(meaning late december onward)</p>

<p>i would go as far as to say that it is a disadvantage not to apply early..</p>

<p>thanks for this everyone.</p>

<p>Narcissa, why not? I though ED schools ask you to withdraw other apps after an acceptance is offered. or do ED schools ask that their app be your one and only?</p>

<p>*** oops, disregard... I didn't realize there was a page 2 where the ED, ER was discussed ***</p>

<p>lol...i might be wrong...but i do know that you can't apply to one school ED and another EA...like you can't do Penn ED and also MIT EA...</p>

<p>or can you? 0.o</p>
