[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son told me that his number 1 choice of school is UMich. He has never even been to Michigan. I’m wondering how hard it is given that it is a HUGE school. I can see it has a 20% acceptance rate.[/quote]

If your son out of state? Try 8%.

They only take 4,000 or so out of state students. [/quote]

I have a kid at Michigan.  He got into several of his top choices (including UVA) but ultimately picked Michigan.  I believe OOS admit rates are closer to 20% overall.  Not surprising given the size of the school.  Engineering and Ross are much lower given their profile (don't know specifics).  They do aim to admit 50% out of state.

Standards are quite high. They don't give you AP credit unless you scored a 5, for example. It's also an expensive school.  I suspect they use all the funds (OOS tuition and endowments) towards some equity BS so don't apply hoping for merit aid unless you fit some demographic profile (that I'm unaware of).   While opportunities for research, internships and work are plenty, the school doesn't care whether you get them or not.  It's upto the kid and it's quite competitive. [/quote]
