Your profile looks like it is well above average for admitted students and you are in-state.
So you are a very strong applicant.

You should know by Dec 24th, so, for now, try to find ways to distract yourself (like finishing applications for colleges whose applications deadlines are coming up). You are a strong applicant overall, so even if U Michigan doesn’t work out, you will likely have a number of other great choices.

Good luck!
