<p>In very recent prior years the Ivy inter-quartile ACT was 30-34 for enrolled students. In a prior note (different thread), I failed to properly differentiate the Michigan figures between those who were admitted versus those enrolled. Given that there is "melt" between deposits and those who actually enroll, I won't make the same mistake twice. However, if the 30-33 figure holds up, that is roughly Ivy equivalent and indicates a very accomplished class. One wonders what the figures would be if they actually controlled class size at the 4,000 level or so, which is probably where it should be, or if the school went private (as it probably should).</p>
<p>It is also worth mentioning that there is a body of research which indicates that the schools that a child applies to are as roughly indicative of life outcomes as the schools actually attended. If so, then even if there is some taper in the statistics, this is a class which should do very well after graduation.</p>
<p>Not sure if it was noted in any other thread, but one of Coleman's parting gifts was an allocation of money to hire more faculty (60 new faculty) to reduce the student/teacher ratio beyond what was accomplished with the last hiring spurt of around 100 junior faculty.</p>
