[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“UVA takes kids in the top 10% of their graduating class. U. Mich. couldn't possibly fill their slots by doing that hence most of their students come from out of state.”

[b]Huh[/b]?[/quote]

What's the "huh" about?  Half of Michigan's 48,000 undergrads are from out of state.  And in-state students definitely don't have to be in the top 10% of their class to get in, unlike at UVa.[/quote]

For starters, UM has 29,000 undergrads. They do not collect class ranks, but 86% had GPA >3.75/4, the highest range.

One can't make a comparison to UVA because UVA administrators have trouble with reading comprehension and report on their CDS an average GPA of 4.32 on a 4 point scale. [/quote]

you are right about the number - I read the article that said 48,000 undergrad and grad students. My mistake.  Still more than half the students come from out of state.

and you do have to be in top 10% of class to get[b] into Uva.  [/b]Not at Michigan. Not enough smart kids in that state to fill all the slots if they had those same standards as Uva.[/quote]

Oops. I meant U. Michigan here.[/quote]
