When Do UMICH Decisions Come Out?
Admissions decisions for Early Action (EA) applicants are made earlier in the process, usually by the end of January. This enables individuals to learn their position sooner rather than feeling pressured to commit right away.
However, as final decisions are usually made by early April, Regular Decision (RD) candidates could have to wait longer.

- High School Transcript – Additional requirements may apply based on the applicant’s country.
- School Report – Submitted through the Common App.
- One Teacher Evaluation – From a core academic teacher or a non-relative who can assess the student's academic abilities and classroom performance.
- SAT or ACT Scores (Optional) – If available and the student wants them considered.
- English Proficiency Test Scores – TOEFL, IELTS, MET, etc., for non-native English speakers.
- Official College Transcripts – Required if the student was dual-enrolled in a college or university while in high school.
How Long Does it Take to Hear Back from UMich?
Applicants should verify that their Common Application was successfully submitted after submitting it. They will get an email with their U-M ID and Enrollment Connect login information three to five days after submitting.
Applicants can examine their application decisions, receive critical communications from the admissions office, check their checklist and application status, and access other application-related information using this online site.
How to Apply?
Applying for Early Action typically involves the same steps and materials as regular admissions.
