i am considering applying early action next fall, but i have a few questions:


I have a strong upward trend and would hopefully like to continue this into senior year. I know i can submit first semester grades if i get deferred, but would it be safer to apply regular decision so they can have them on the get-go?
I am going to take the ACT in September, but if I do not do well, and I were to take the ACT on October 27 (the expected date on the ACT’s website for the October test), would I be able to update my score if i was deferred if I do better on the October test? I have SAT scores as well but they are not that strong and I feel that I would be able to get a higher ACT score
On michigan’s website on the checklist for what is due includes a school report and a teacher evaluation. This is all through the Common App, right?
