Wowwwwww I’d definitely say you’re up there, although I’m probably more confused about this process as you. Good luck! ;))

Congratulations on all you have accomplished!

Being out-of-state with such a stellar background, you will really need to convince UofM they are your first choice. Your essays need to lay out a succinct reason this school is the one to propel your academic goals over any other. Otherwise, you may end up deferred in EA and having to demonstrate interest to keep your application at the top of the pile.

Good luck!
