UMich 2024 Fall Acceptance Rate Prediction

[Anonymous]

As a fun exercise, given that the acceptance rates have been dropping quickly at the top public universities including UVA, UNC, the UCs, etc., wanted to look into Michigan. They haven't released the official acceptance stats yet, but they did published enrolled students and application volumes, so some guesswork involved here.

In fall of 2023, there was an acceptance rate of 17.9%, based on 15,722 acceptances and 87,632 applications. (https://obp.umich.edu/wp-content/uploads/pubdata/factsfigures/firstyearsprofile_umaa.pdf)

For fall of 2024, the school announced first year applications rose to 98,310 (https://record.umich.edu/articles/u-m-reports-record-enrollment-for-fall-2024/) and 7,278 first-years enrolled (https://obp.umich.edu/wp-content/uploads/pubdata/factsfigures/enrollment_umaa_2024.pdf).

If we assume last year's yield rate of 47.2%, we can assume approximately 15,420 acceptances were handed out, yielding an acceptance rate of 15.7% this year - quite a feat for Umich!

Lemme guess… your kid attends Michigan? And this “feat” makes you feel good. I get it. I went to NYU in the late 80s. Had a fantastic experience despite the 70% admit rate or whatever it was. Now all of my kid’s friends think I must have been awesome to attend a school with a single digit admit rate.

Just focus on the education. Kid will do just fine.

THis is your idea of fun!

How is pushing your acceptance rate as low as possible “a feat?” I mean I get the school’s administrators probably think that but why would anyone else?

After reading about their DEI debacle, i will have nothing to do with them. No donations, no support.

Pretty sure the number of kids who watch the nationally televised games with the hours long glossy ads for Mich/Ann Arbor will continue to exceed the number who read The NY Times.

The rebuttal has already come out. Some factually incorrect reporting.

The amount cited ($250M over 8 years) includes funding for low-income state students based solely on household income. One estimate I found was about $20M in one year. So maybe $160M of that is scholarships.

We get you PP. People who don't like to share, don't share. You won't be missed.

Michigan’s real feat is being as highly ranked as it is.

lol quite a feat. Overrated as always.

Michigan supporters on DCUM go out of their way to put down other schools, and don't recognize that their is a need for different types of schools. That is what bugs me.

You mean like the supporters who constantly say it’s overrated?
