Quick Question about Michigan ED. Forum

[EdmundBurke23]

Early Decision to Michigan:

LSAT: 173
GPA: 3.42

LSP says "Admit" but I'm skeptical. What is your gut feeling on this?

[EdmundBurke23]

Really??? 7-1 on Deny?

Damnit. So much for trusting that LSP would be somewhat reliable...

[Veritas]

just fyi, no one gets rejected from the ED pool at Mich (at least that I'm aware of). You get rolled over to the RD group.

[EdmundBurke23]

Well I guess I could re-phrase the question as "admitted through ED program/deferred to regular admissions"

At least to this poll, it seems that I have an even shot at getting in through ED program. I wonder how reliable LSP is in general. It doesn't seem to be that close of a reflection of the gut feeling that people have shown on TLS thru this small poll.. But then again, it's just a self-selecting poll... hrmmm

I was deferred from Michigan ED. And then rejected. Sad me.

If you don't mind me asking: What were your numbers?

[Vincent Vega]

165/3.92. You have my desired LSAT and I have your desired GPA. Let's merge.

[EdmundBurke23]

Are you Asian? Because my parents are pretty strict about becoming one flesh with people of different color.

[Vincent Vega]

No, but I was the only non-Asian on my high school tennis team, so you could consider me a part of the family.

You're definitely on the border with that GPA according to LSN. If you really like Michigan and are willing to be a summer starter, you might want to ED to boost your odds of acceptance.

This poll is actually about what'll happen if I ED. I will ED, actually, since Michigan is my top choice... only because I don't want to risk being rejected by all of the schools that I've applied to that are T10.

You're right on the edge I would think. Make sure you write additional essays and everything is perfect. If you know you absolutely want Michigan, then do it. If you decide not to, you got a shot at NYU and maybe Chicago (Columbia not so much).
