<p>According to Dates</a> & Deadlines | University of Michigan Office of Admissions the deadline for high school seniors is February 1st (applying LSA).</p>
<p>However, I've heard that UMich is rolling... does this mean it would be beneficial for me to send in my app on or before January 1st with my other apps?</p>
<p>I wouldn't mind spending a few days after Jan 1st to polish my essays but if it would hurt my chances I don't think it's worth it.</p>
<p>At this time, you are already too late to benefit from rolling admissions. You were supposed to apply in the September-November period to benefit from it. Applying in January will not hurt your chances much, but you will not hear back before March.</p>
<p>Ok, that makes more sense. I knew EA decisions were released rolling, but just didn’t make the connection.</p>
<p>Actually, EA decisions were almost all released between December 14 and December 18. It is the RD and deferred applicants who will hear back anytime between late January and mid April.</p>
<p>So if you apply RD during/before November, or apply EA during/before November (if deferred), you benefit from rolling admissions, but if you apply RD before Feb 1st you get your results on a set date?</p>
<p>That’s pretty interesting, not that it matters in my case…</p>
