<p>mtv, EA is pretty simple. Complete the application (common application, supplement, school transcripts, recommendations and SAT) before November 1. </p>
<p>Given your IS status and stats (4.0 GPA, top 2% class rank and 32 ACT score), I think you have a reasonably good chance of getting in EA, but it is hard to say what the effects of the common application will be. You could be deferred and admitted in the late period and there is always a chance you may not get in at all, which is why I am reluctant to say that Michigan is a safety. But I like your chances. Should you improve your ACT to 34, your chances improve.</p>
