lightja pretty much said everything that there is to say, but i’ll repeat it anyway, lol.

yes, michigan does have an early decision program. however, it’s called early response because you’ll receive your decision earlier. your act looks good, extra-curriculars look good too, and it’s good that you took all AP/honor classes every year. michigan really likes it when students take the hardest courses available. as for your gpa, it isn’t that high (no offense), but there have been students accepted with lower ones. plus, a hard course load, good SAT/ACT scores, and lots of ECs will help to make up for a low gpa.

but you should definitely apply early, and even in the ER period, make sure that your app. and extra things get in as fast as possible. for example, the deadline for this year was nov. 1. don’t send in your app. a few days before the deadline. try to get it in a few months before the deadline so that you have an even higher chance.

now, for your second question.

senior year does mean alot for michigan. and ED helps alot too. if you get accepted, just don’t fail any classes or get lots of Cs and Ds. as for sending in senior grades: if you apply ER and you don’t get accepted, then you’ll be deferred. now, there’re 2 types of deferral letters. one is where it requires you to send in your first semester of senior year grades (aka 7th semester grades). the other is where you don’t have to send in your 7th semester grades. if you get the letter that tells you to send in your 7th semester grades, then you HAVE to send them in or your app. won’t be considered. if you get the letter that doesn’t (the letter will say that sending them in will help your chances), then only send them in if you get straight As.

well, that’s pretty much it, lol. hope i was helpful. btw, do you know what college of michigan’s you plan on applying to? some colleges are harder to get into than others.
