It’s about the same % amount as UVA.
UVA had 57k apps for 17k students/slots. (Slightly more apps per spots available) UMich had 105k for 33k students/slots. Wants they bring back test requirements the number of apps should drop a lot. |

Their retention numbers must be low if they're recruiting full classes of sophomores, juniors, and seniors this year. |

| The article says 98,400 first year applications.The remaining applications were transfer applicants. Not that 6,000 applications make that big of a difference. |

UM matriculates around 8k freshman. I assume UVa is closer to 6k freshman? |

This thread isn't about UVA. Why did you feel the need to bring it up? |

The freshman class is not 33k |

| I hope they get a counter bump for getting hit with multiple sanctions for NCAA violations. |

The Michigan bashers here on DCUM are the insecure ones. |

We see this with all the schools. Northeastern which doesn't play any big time sports (hockey isn't big time) gets close to 100k applications.
It's a function of the common app and test optional. The future should see applications decrease for most schools. |
