Does Michigan have an Early Decision program? Does it help with acceptance?

yes they do have an early decision plan, and it contributes GREATLY to your chances of being accepted. DEFINITELY apply early.

GPA is huge for UMich, they typically favor a high GPA to a high ACT in almost all cases.

I was accepted early decision OOS with a 28 ACT and a 3.91 GPA if that tells you anything.

If you’re applying from in-state, I’d say you have a 85-95% chance of admittance with early decision, and if you’re out of state, I’d say you have a 45-60% chance. Definitely work on your GPA if you can though, but your ACT is a really solid score, but it can’t hurt to try and go higher!
