UMich hits new enrollment record; opens doors to nearly 34,000 undergraduates

[Anonymous]

It already seems like UMich alums and current students are everywhere in our orbit. Guess it’s going to get even more saturated. Doesn’t this blunt the cachet when you let in so many students? For comparison, UVA only has half the undergraduate students.

UM's total enrollment for fall this year reached 52,065 students, up 2% from 2022. Furthermore, the school's undergraduate enrollment rose 3% to 33,730 students from 32,695 last year.

Uh, who cares? It's a perfectly fine school. And that is all that matters.

Lol at people looking at the resume of a Michigan grad 10 years out and thinking that the brand is diluted and REJECTED! Next, please.

The Ivy League has 70,000 undergrads. Not that exclusive.

Jealous?

Depends on the kid. Some love a big school. Some won't apply to any school with more than 6,000 students. Some won't apply to any place with more than 2,000.

What is with all the UVA boosters going to great lengths to bash UMich on every single thread? Now we have to start a new one.

UVA can only wish they could have that much interest nationwide not just from the DMV and the south.

Last year UVA received a record-breaking 57,000 applications for only about 4,500 Seatrs. Four-fifths of the applicants were OOS or international

And their average acceptance rate for the past 5 years is earth shattering 35%

Not a booster and/or alum but good for Maize and Blue...try to educate as many as possible. Let the others worry about "exclusivity". Keep on, keeping on.

+1 As long as they can keep up the quality, I'm all for this--especially in public schools. We need as many well-educated people as possible.

It sucks for those who need housing, great if you can afford one of the new luxury apartments going up

It's not just Michigan, publics in many states are increasing enrollment because they can earn more revenue and cover expenses by managing in/out-of-state mix, contributions and state funds. It is a sound strategy backed by math equations - as privates keep enrollment levels flat in most cases and apps increase, it is the publics who are benefiting most. Georgia, Alabama, Michigan, Arizona State - whatever you think of them they are playing a good game.
