[quote=Anonymous]Michigan's population is stagnant. In fact, Metro Detroit has fewer people than in 1970. The growth offset is Grand Rapids and retirees in Traverse City. What do you expect when a giant industry has been shrinking since the 1980's? The two big mortgage companies employ a lot of people, but nothing like the Big Three of yesteryear. The lost decade of 2000 moved a lot of white collar jobs out. Theoretically, that should mean less in-state competition for UM. You do hear stories of " my kid had a perfect GPA, played the trumpet in the school band, ran cross country yet still couldn't get in" so not sure in-staters don't gripe.[/quote]
