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!

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

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.

Another thing that is lost on people that a significant amount of the staff showing up in the DEI salaries were already working professors, the DEI component is just an increase in their existing scope, and not part of a DEI allocated budget.

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

They may suck too.

How people can bash Michigan but then go on to praise UVA and UNC is beyond me

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

It's kind of funny they think this is an achievement when northeastern's acceptance rate of 2.9% is even lower than Harvard lol

How is it overrated exactly? Look at all of the departments and every.single.one is top 10 in their field of discipline. Haters gonna hate, but OOS have to have top stats and that X factor to get in. I suppose one could criticize its size but some view that as a plus. It’s accomplishing its mission and more and the vast alumni base is worth its weight in gold.

The OOS students are in general very strong and the international students are super strong. In-state students have quite a struggle getting to the top of a class.

Of course. Michigan is consistently top ranked for so many reasons. There are a few haters on this board who just love to criticize public schools, they shouldn’t be fed.

This prediction was spot on, data was just released, 15.6%

Bc of all the DEI crap Michigan has plummeted in my hs dc’s college list and UVA has risen. We’ll see. Older dc got in and went elsewhere.

They do it because the three schools are ranking nos 3, 4, and 5 for best public schools in America by USNWR. They exchange places due to changing methodologies of USNWR. Only 8 years ago UVA was no 2 (well over Mich) but that changed with emphasis on pell grant recipients. For Instate Virginians they prefer UVA especially because of its more manageable size. For Mich, they prefer it no matter what the size because of cost and the few other options in-state. It's a healthy competition between the states
