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

many of the above posts are wrong except yosup. Michigan doesn’t have early decison. Early decision means that if you get in you are bound to the college and you must go there. For that reason, ED usually helps a lot of candidates get into schools because it shows them that’s their number 1 choice and they cant back out. However, Michigan doesn’t have this. They have a modified rolling system with an “early response”. This basically means that if you submit it by the deadline you can find out earlier. They don’t give priority to those who submit for early response but it is a nice load off your shoulders during your senior year. It doesn’t necessarily help because it’s non-binding so it doesnt really raise the acceptance rate, however, because Michigan has a rolling system make sure you apply early next year, it can help as spots fill up. good luck I wanted to go to michigan but I go to UNC CH instead, didn’t get in I applied very late, don’t know if this was the reason
