My common app is done and the “community” supplement essay is in good shape but I really haven’t spent much time yet on the 500 word “why this program at U Mich”. I really want the Bio program.
Should I crank to get it done by Monday? I hear conflicting reports on the benefit. It seems I’m on the the low edge of criteria so not sure if I will look worse compared to those going EA vs. waiting a few weeks and submitting before regular deadline but post EA. Appreciate any advice.</p>
<p>The only thing stopping you is writing the essay? Get it done by Monday.</p>
<p>I would also advise you apply EA, otherwise instead of hearing by 12/23 it won’t be until well into Spring-- agonizing!</p>
