Hi all,
I was just wondering if anyone had experience with Michigan ED or knows someone who has and could help me gauge my own chances at it. My numbers are 169 (their median, according to the website), and 3.66 (.07 below median). Would EDing compensate for the sub-median GPA? Assuming I have a solid PS and Why Mich? essay, anyone want to give input on my chances? My EC's are respectable, but nothing truly amazing. Thank you!

If you're really set on Mich, then yes ED. It will be a close call. I know Dean Z really cares about the Why Mich?, so make sure that is solid and well-written.

It'll be a close call, but the ED sounds promising.
