<p>I am a high school senior looking to apply to the University of Michigan. I would like to major in finance. From looking at U of M's website it seems that only people who choose early decision can apply for perferred admission. Can I apply for perferred admission to Ross and still use regular decision? Do I have a smaller chance of getting accepted if I do not do early decision?</p>
<p>There is no Early Decision at U of M, only Early Action. Ross gives preference to Early Action applicants, so they’ll give your application a better look, [according</a> to this](<a href=“Bachelor of Business Administration | Michigan Ross”>Bachelor of Business Administration | Michigan Ross).</p>
<p>This doesn’t mean you can’t apply for pre-admit after the EA deadline of November 1st, though.</p>
<p>You would find out about your Ross decision up to 16 weeks after your UMich admissions decision, so if you apply EA you should expect your Ross pre-admit decision no later than March 1st.</p>
<p>OK so I can still apply for it if I choose regular decision, but does my application still have to he sent in early
You might have already answered this, but just need some clarification
Thanks</p>
<p>No, you can apply anytime before the January 31st application deadline and get a preferred admission decision from Ross.</p>
<p>The problem with applying that late is that there’s a small chance you not get a decision until you’re already enrolled, whether at UMich or somewhere else.</p>
<p>I would highly recommend early action as there are no negative consequences to applying that way.</p>
