[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“ Not at all! UMich is the 'back up alternative' for kids that get rejected from UVA. I see it over and over again. There are too many kids applying to UVA from each HS so even top candidates that seemingly have 'everything' get rejected or waitlisted. When that happens--many end up at U Mich.”

You’re imagining things that don’t exist. Michigan is about 50/50 IS/OOS. Single digit OOS acceptances.  It’s not a backup to UVA since OOS admittance is so low. It is interesting how Michigan’s  OOS yield is higher than UVA, even without ED manipulation [/quote]

Michigan is absolutely a backup for a small group of students rejected from UVa. High stats NoVa STEM students who are full pay. True for over a decade.[/quote]

This is very true, not just STEM.  It was true at my Fairfax Co HS back in the late 80s/90.  High performance kids chose Ann Arbor as a back-up to UVA.  [/quote]

The college landscape and admissions have changed a lot since the late 80s/90s. Michigan is very difficult to get into, as is UVA in-state and OOS, and when you say something is a backup - it means something that is viewed like a safety - and Michigan certainly is not.  A top student can get into one and not the other -- and there is little predictability.[/quote]
