I know there are a lot of you stressing about Early Decision deadlines and LSAT performance. Here’s my rule: Early Decision makes sense only if your profile is not expected to improve after the ED deadline. So if you expect your score to go up after the ED deadline, you’re better off applying RD with a higher score than ED with a lower score. Caveat 1: Keep in mind that ED also really only makes sense at a given school if the odds are roughly even (say, 40-60%*).

The University of Michigan is a top state school ranked as one of the top three state schools in the nation by numerous lists. The school is at the top of its game, and so is the college town it is in. Ann Arbor, Michigan is widely considered the #1 small college town in America. The acceptance rate at Michigan is about 20%. That’s a misleading statistic, though, because the acceptance rate for in-state students is much higher than for out-of-state students.
