This is where you show your ignorance. Ann Arbor is a quintessential college town and the university has a long history of having very strong programs in various disciplines. My dad went there as an international student for dental school, my mom for biology graduate school, and both talk about their time there fondly. Michigan football is huge so there's a ton of school spirit. Unlike a lot of state schools, 50% are out of state, which makes U. Michigan more of a national university than other state flagships that cap their out of state to about 10% (UT Austin), UNC (18%) or 20% (UC Berkeley). I think UVA is 33% OOS. I don't know of any flagship that's 50% OOS, but it draws a lot of the same folks who apply to UC Berkeley and UCLA.
Didn't mention Georgia Tech with about an 8-9% OOS acceptance rate.
27% OOS
lol no it's not.

Mom, Dad, I want to go to school in the Rust Belt! You can pay private school tuition for a factory school, but you get to brag to all your friends that is is a top school: US News says so. And I will actually get in, because it is an easier admit than actual top schools! Yay! Thanks Mom and Dad.
Yes, we are under no illusions that you are a kid hanging around here instead of doing something more normal with your time.
Might I suggest that a parent wanting to pay private school tuition for their child to attend Michigan oos cannot be trusted to differentiate illusion from reality?
No, but I can suggest you go get some friends and stop hanging around here before your youth is gone and wasted.

We all acknowledge it is a good grad school. For undergrad, it is overrated. Internationals love it because they don’t know the difference between undergraduate and graduate school when looking at their international (graduate school) rankings.

Agree, AA is an incredible college town.

Its yield this year was crazy and obviously not at all what was expected. The turmoil on campus and long range prospects didn't help.
What do you mean with the yield being "crazy?" The 2024-25 CDS looks like yield was nearly 50% which is very good, correct?
Agree with the turmoil, know of a few families that chose other schools after seeing chaos on accepted students day.
What was the "chaos on accepted students day"? You mean it was disorganized or there were protests or ???
Protests. My DC is applying this coming year but isn't doing ED.

There’s a pretty massive difference between Ann Arbor and Gary
I was just in Madison Wisconsin for the first time. Very favorably impressed with University of Wisconsin campus facilities and location. Was not evaluating for a DC. I've been to a lot of college campuses. That's one I would recommend looking into further. I used the virtual tour to understand what was inside the buildings I strolled past. The virtual tour was good, too.

Wisconsin is over 40% out of state and is probably the closest to Michigan on that front.

Why are they making the change? Was their yield SO bad?
I am guessing it is an attempt to separate the wheat from the chaff in terms of high stats applicants who are using it as a back up versus high stats kids who want a UM experience as a first choice.
