I'm definitely applying to the University of Michigan, and I heard it's good to apply early action. Can anyone tell me when should I ideally submit my application for early action?
For the University of Michigan (UMich), the Early Action (EA) deadline is November 1st. It's important to note that this means your application should be completed and submitted by this date.
To ensure that there won't be any last-minute issues, I suggest that you aim to have all parts of your application (including your essays, the general application, and any other required materials) ready a few days ahead of the deadline. For example, aim to have everything done by October 27th or 28th at the latest. This will give you a buffer in case there are technical difficulties or other unforeseen obstacles.
Also, it's beneficial to request your recommendation letters and transcripts well ahead of this deadline, to ensure your counselors and teachers also have sufficient time to submit their portion of your application.
Remember, applying early can show demonstrated interest and also allow you to hear back from the university sooner, often before the end of December. Best of luck with your application!
