Does the University of Michigan have an early decision program?
We have an Early Decision program for summer starters only; it is binding, which means that in applying, you agree to come if we make you an offer. We recommend that applicants to the Early Decision program submit their materials by about November 1 in order for their files to be completed by our November 15 deadline; we will make all decisions by December 15. If an applicant is not admitted under Early Decision, his or her application will be rolled over into the regular decision pool. Typically, a little less than half of the summer section is admitted as part of the Early Decision program. Note: if you apply Early Decision, and we do not make you an offer on December 15, but roll your application into the regular pool, you could then receive an offer for either summer or fall.
