<p>You can forget about Michigan. At least half the admissions office follow this forum. They have your MO and can easily ID you among the applicants. Your only chance is to write your optional essay swearing allegiance to Michigan football … then maybe they will forgive you … just may be.</p>

<p>yeah… just kidding</p>

<p>I’m chancing you just because of that awesome title haha. I’d say your in, but of course you should apply early, it makes a HUGE difference. The quality of students accepted in December was much less than the quality of students rejected in April.</p>
