<p>Is there a better chance of me receiving a higher amount of merit-based aid or need -based aid if I were to apply early action to U of M?</p>
<p>Yes, I certainly does not hurt!!</p>
<p>Opps I meant it would not hurt. All around I believe that applying EA is just a good thing. If you apply in Sept/Oct you will likely hear back by Nov. if you have good stats. Don’t let the essays hang you up…they become available in August. Good luck!!</p>
