<p>Applying EA will not enhance your chances, but applying RD will pretty much kill your chances. Most international students are admitted in the EA stages.</p>
<p>It is not easy to maintain a 4.0 GPA at Michigan. A 3.3 is fairly easy, a 3.7 requires hard work and anything over a 3.8 will require both hard work and a degree of natural academic ability.</p>
<p>Michigan is definitely a feeder into top law schools. For one, Michigan Law School is itself one of the top 10 Law schools in the US. According to legal scholars, judges and “Big Law” firms, Michigan Law is among the top 5, on par with Chicago, Columbia, NYU and UVa. Each year, Michigan Law school will admit a large number of Michigan undergraduate students and alums (over 70), of which roughly 45-50 will enrol. In addition, Michigan places another 60-70 alums in other top Law schools, including Harvard (usually 10 or so Michigan alums end up enrolling in Harvard Law School annually). Annually, between 100 and 150 Michigan graduates enrol in T14 Law schools. Few universities (Harvard, Yale and perhaps Cornell) place more than 100 of their graduates into top T14 Law schools annually, so in terms of absolute numbers, Michigan is the 4th or 5th largest feeder into top Law schools. </p>
<p>There are currently 11 Michigan alums enrolled at Yale Law School, which is pretty good, considering that only a handful of universities have 20 or more alums currently enrolled in that program. Major undergraduate institutions like Carnegie Mellon, Emory, Georgetown, Notre Dame, Rice, Tufts, Vanderbilt and Washington University-St Louis currently have between 1 and 3 students enrolled at Yale Law School.</p>
