[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe. They take about 4,000 from OOS. When I last calculated the admit rate based on their Common Data Set, it was 8%.

If you are in state, it will be easier. They also take about 4,000 from in state.

[b]I don’t think Michigan is much better than other flagships[/b]. For some reason, people equate low admit rate to being a better school. But that just reflects market demand and not quality.

I know most won’t agree with me and that’s fine. 😜[/quote]

I am not a Michigan person (went to a different Big 10 school, actually) but...almost literally every program at Michigan is top 10 and in many cases, top 5. It is what sets UM apart from other schools. Iowa has a fantastic creative writing program, Illinois and Maryland have great Comp Sci/Cyber programs, Wisconsin's Real Estate and Sociology programs are among the best in the world; I could go on, but no school as the across the board excellence that Michigan does. So for undergrads, what that means is, they can go there with one idea for an area of study and move to other areas and know that their degree in that major will mean something. It is, in fact, very unique.[/quote]
