Perhaps. My numbers are not solid though, I am applying on softs which has so far worked well this cycle.

I think you should write it then. Just remember: no Why X essay is better than a forced/bad Why X essay.
basically the same here, though my UR was a little laterdakure wrote:11/11 with a Why Mich. Still nothing. Sadness.

I didn't initially write a Why Michigan but am thinking of doing one now. Will they accept one if I email it to them?

You can either do it now or, if you think you're going to get WL, you can use it as your LOCI later.viacavour wrote:finally got my status checker today and am complete.
