[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So this is why it seems like everyone’s kid is getting into Michigan.[/quote]

Yes the overall acceptance rate last year was 17%, and OOS was lower. So clearly everyone is getting in.[/quote]

Michigan is way more popular nationally than UVA.[b] It receives double the applications and has a higher yield without using ED to achieve it. [/quote][/b]

Well, gee, maybe that's because it has over double the students at 52K.  UVA is 24K. And Californians and west coaster apply to UVA because it's warmer.  Four fifths of the 57,000 applications to UVA last year were OOS.[/quote]

[b]I highly doubt many Californians would apply to UVA. When my kid was attending UC, his classmates had not heard of UVA.[/quote][/b]

Pfft!  I'm from L.A. and of course we all knew of UVA.  It was then no 2 or 3 on USNWR for best public university.  Californians are having a hard time getting into the U.C. and some Cal State schools.  The next less expensive option are OOS publics, which meant UVA.  Michigan is considered too cold.  I didn't want to go to UCLA or Berkeley because of their size.  [b]SLACs are too expensive[/b]. .That leaves the OOS publics.  https://news.virginia.edu/content/class-2020-random-connection-brought-californian-uva[/quote]

UVA OOS COA is $80k.  Not much of savings from SLACs with likely less aid.
