Does Mid-year report help?

<p>I really want to go to Michigan-Ann Arbor, but I hear it's extremely hard to get into for out-of-staters. So I was wondering, should I apply early and try to get in or apply later then send my Mid-year report to them? If I apply early and get deferred, do they look at the mid-year report?</p>

<p>its not EXTREMELY hard, where'd you hear that? lol...its tougher yes, but if you have the stats you stand a fairly good chance of getting in. And If you think your mid-year report shows an improvement of grades or w/e, then go ahead and send it in as did I.</p>
