[quote=Anonymous]Michigan's popularity is due to a few things. It's the only top level public university that takes a large percentage of students from out of state. Berkeley, UCLA, Texas, and UNC-Chapel Hill are very limited by law with the number of non-resident students they can admit. Whereas Michigan very happily takes 50 percent of their students from out of state, which makes it the only national state school. And as a result, Michigan has very deep loyalties everywhere in the country, which generates even more interest. Second, Michigan has really well regarded STEM programs, which is very appealing to smart boys. That's no small thing. There are fewer and fewer boys who are college ready. Michigan vacuums the exceptional Engineering and CS boys from out of state who want the rah rah Big Ten college experience. They will often choose Michigan over CMU, Cornell, or Johns Hopkins. Because third, Michigan is really good at football. It's a big part of the Michigan experience. It's a tribal thing that is appealing to a lot of people. All together, Michigan has a really good brand. It's one of the very, very few schools that's both great academically and at sports. I think only Duke and Notre Dame can share that space with Michigan. And that is very winning formula. [/quote]
