<p>Thanks for the honesty.
Should I sumbit my senior year grades and not use early action?</p>

<p>Princeton does not have early action. Michigan has rolling admissions, so you should do that application as early as possible. Do you need SAT II scores for Stanford? (You need two SAT IIs for Princeton.) </p>

<p>Stanford is known for rejecting a lot of EA applicants, instead of deferring them like other schools. So you will have to weigh your chances with EA. If you have already great SAT II scores, that might help your early chances. Good luck.</p>
