[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just to clarify, you mean they aim to have an undergraduate student body that is about 50% out of state, right? [/quote]

Yes. They enroll 7,000 - 8,000 total for first year class. Of those, 4,000 are out of state. This may have changed but was accurate when I last looked.

You can look in the CDS to see how many apps they get.

84,000 applied
14,000 offered admission
7,000 or so enrolled
Of those enrolled, 3,300 were from out of state.

I found this data on the Michigan website by using Google.

I am surprised their yield is so low.

[b]The yield is lower because the school gives very little merit aid.  [/b]With 50% of the undergrads coming from OOS, it’s not surprising at all. Instate yield rates are close to 80%. [/quote]

why do kids apply if they can't afford it?  It's not like the cost of attendance is a surprise. [/quote]

It might come down to what is the next best alternative among all the acceptances and if there ate outside scholarships.  Some families can uncomfortably stretch to make it work  (parent loan, reduce retirement contribution  etc) but wouldn’t take that on unless the budget gap is small enough that they are comfortable doing so AND the gap in reputation/opportunity for the next next best alternative College is so big that the sacrifice is deemed worth it.[/quote]
