I’m pretty sure there’s a bigger discrepancy between in-state and OOS rates at Michigan. I’ve heard in-state acceptance rate is around 35%.

The most recent published admit rate figures are for the incoming fall 2023 undergraduate class at Michigan are:
In-state: 39%
Out-of-state: 14%
All: 18%

The figures for incoming fall 2024 should be published soon. Yes, there's serious lag on this. (It's not published with the rest of the typical admissions breakdown, where you see applicants and enrollment.)

I've never seen any official breakdown across the different schools/colleges at Michigan. I've never seen any breakdown for EA vs. RD, so I doubt we'll see anything for ED specifically either.

And should add what has been said previously: ED changes game and new direct admit programs change game.

I have not seen anything published but when we toured sounded like LSA has highest admit rate and you needed compelling experience in engineering to be considered for any of the direct admit schools.

Does UMich publish any admissions or score data by school? I haven't seen it, but wanted to make sure I haven't missed it. I am assuming engineering will be more difficult. (OOS, full pay, female)

Funny you brought this up. Last year, my kid was advised to apply ED to UVA (in-state) b/c their admissions counselor saw better acceptance rates from our area for ED over EA in the past. It's a smaller pool and they know the applicants are all in. DC wanted to try Michigan, so opted against ED and ended up at Michigan. :p I think the advice for both schools is similar, except OP is OOS. ED also means you aren't competing against the kids who are applying ED to the Ivy schools.

so, you could receive a decision of deferral in December,
a 2nd decision at the end of January, and
potentially a third and final decision in March.

Yes

Expect the EA numbers to plummet for OOS, and be limited to majors/colleges where they need to "fill the gap" with full pay etc.


Do you follow the former MI AO on FB?

It's all speculation. If your kid is CERTAIN they want UMich and you can afford it, apply ED. If you can't say yes to both of those, apply EA. Anything else you read has no basis in fact.

My DD is trying to decide if she should apply ED to Michigan. Looking for info on how OOS admit rates might be affected.

Some online speculators guess ED will offer a bump over EA.

Others say it might be more competitive because kids who wanted certainty avoided Michigan because it didn’t have an ED option previously.

She likes two schools equally (applying liberal arts major) so now she is looking for info on strategy. She is at a big public HS and doesn't get a ton of guidance from college counselor.
