[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Michigan and Virginia have very similar overall yields (percentage of applicants offered admission who actually attend), but UVA’s out of state yield is consistently lower than Michigan’s. On the surface, this might suggest that Michigan is a bigger draw for out of state.  [b]What more likely makes the difference is that UVA is much more selective for out-of-state applicants than Michigan.[/b]  So out of state UVA applicants who are accepted are also more likely to be accepted at the very top private universities in the country, and will often choose them over UVA.  This does not mean that UVA is less of a draw, it means that its out-of-state applicants have many more top options than Michigan’s.  [/quote]

Instate as well for UVA being most highly selective. Much more so than Michigan.  For the entering UVA class of 2022, 94% are in the top 10% of their class (and 91% will ultimately matriculate).  For Michigan, only 50% enrolled are in the top 10% of their class.  Same comparisons can be made with ACTs.  ACT scores at UVA keep climbing every year.  Now a 34-35 is expected.  Michigan is at 26.  https://www.collegedata.com/cs/data/college/college_pg02_tmpl.jhtml?schoolId=379.  Re Michigan on CollegeData: "More than 50% of freshmen were in the top 10% of their high school class and scored over 1230 on the SAT I or over 26 on the ACT; about 60% or fewer of all applicants accepted."[/quote]

Your data is dubious.  Just a quick look at their web sites shows UVA middle 50% SAT at 1320 - 1500 for last year vs. 1350 - 1530 for Michigan.  Both were 31-34 for ACT middle 50%.
