That's for last year, EA and RD combined.

The question is about ED apps specifically, since this is the first year UMich has ever offered ED.

The data probably won't be released until next summer, so we certainly don't know yet if the number of ED apps is "massive" as another poster claimed.

115K total applications and 109K first-year applications.

What’s so special about Michigan? Like sure great school, but 100,000 for a good state school feels insane.

They have been getting that number each year since COVID basically.

It is a popular school, arguably the best combination of academics and big time sports/school spirit in the country.

UT? Cal? UCLA? UNC? UVA?

I’m curious how many ED apps they received and what percent were in-state. If I was in-state, I would really encourage my kid to apply ED since it’s so cheap compared to privates and they offer free tuition to those who make less than 125k.

UT, UNC, and to a lesser extent, Cal annd UCLA accept anyone OOS. UVA athletics can’t compare to Big 10 sports.

Don't quote me, but I think I saw on some college counseling blog that Michigan has already received 70k apps and they are well on their way to setting a record this year. Not sure how many split between ED and EA. I agree that in-state makes sense, but their OOS tuition is almost as high as any private school.

Not great publicity lately. Really overrated large school with horrible weather.

Then again, so is UC Boulder. For the price, I'd choose Michigan. I think it would be a great college experience and a great town to be in.

MY DD heard 22k ED apps this year. Take with a grain of salt. Seems low.

Across the board, ED has been a bloodbath this year. So many rejections!

We can set a clock by when you will show up.

Michigan isn’t rejecting in ED though, is it? It is postponing (deferring) almost everyone.

Yes, that’s what I meant. UT and UNC OOS is basically like getting into a lower Ivy.

None of them are close in sports though Texas football is as much of a cult.
