Hey everyone, does anyone know the acceptance rate for early decision applicants at the University of Michigan? Just curious about my chances before I apply.
Hello! The University of Michigan doesn't offer an Early Decision (ED) application plan, but they do offer Early Action (EA). While Michigan doesn't officially release their EA acceptance rate, it is known to be higher than the Regular Decision rate of 17%. This difference is because applying early demonstrates your enthusiasm for the school, which in turn gives admissions officers confidence that you'll be ready to start contributing to their campus community right away.
Unlike ED, EA is non-binding, which means you're not obligated to attend the university if you're accepted. So, you can get a slight admissions boost without sacrificing your ability to weigh your options. Do still be sure, though, to submit a strong, well-rounded application to improve your chances of admission, as there's still no guarantee of anything during the EA round. Good luck with your application to Michigan!
