<p>wow, the COE acceptance rate is like 75%!</p>
<p>Yes, Robotfood, but I'd say that close to 100% of the applicants have GPAs that hover in the 3.5-4.0 range and SAT scores that hover in the 1200-1600 range. Sure you have your occasional applicant with sub 3.5 GPAs and sub 1200 SAT scores, but those are almost non-existant. The mean GPA of admitted students into the CoE is 3.9 and the mean SAT score is close to 1400.</p>
<p>Chibearsfan, if the last few years are any indication, I would safely say that Michigan will have roughly 25,000-26,000 applicants and will probably end up accepting 11,500 and 12,000 of those applicants. As a result, I would expect this year's mean SAT scores to be slightly higher, but nothing too substential.</p>

As a result, I would expect this year's acceptance rate to be under 50%, quite possibly as low as 43%. The mean SAT scores will also probably be slightly higher, but nothing too substential. Last year's mid 50%ile was 1250-1400...I expect this year's to slightly higher than that.</p>
<p>Wasn't our yield 50% the past 2 years? In that case shouldnt we only accept like 10,500?</p>
<p>Chibearsfan, our yield rate was roughly 45% if I am not mistaken. Maybe Hoedown can confirm this.</p>

<p>Yes, Alexandre, that yield rate is accurate.</p>
<p>The acceptances and yield rate can shift from year to year even with no general change in student behavior. That's because if they shift the composition of the class (which they sometimes do), you have a different mix of high-yield (resident) and lower-yield (nonresident) students.</p>
<p>Let me do an example, using some extreme yeild numbers so people don't misunderstand them to be real.</p>
<p>Pretend Michigan wanted a class of 200, with 30% nonresident.
Let's say Residents traditionally yield at 100%, while nonresidents traditionally yield at 25%.</p>
<p>Michigan would therefore admit 140 residents (to get 140 resident enrollees), and 240 nonresidents (to get 60 nonresident enrollees).</p>
<p>Their yield rate would be 52.6% (200 enrolled/380 admitted).</p>
<p>Let's say they decided to change the class the next year so it was 40% Nonresident. Assume no change in yield in the two groups.</p>
<p>So they'd admit 120 residents (to get 120 enrolls) and 320 Nonresidents (to get 80 enrolls). The new yield is 200 enrolls/440 admits, or 45.5%. </p>
<p>To an outside observer, seeing a one-year drop from 52.6% to 45.5%, they might think big problems, students are less interested in Michigan, something's amiss. But in reality, students in each of the resident groups are just as interested in Michigan as before, and they say "yes" at the same rates. What has changed is the mix of each in the admitted class. Similarly, if Michigan went for more residents, the yield rate would go up--but it wouldn't mean that Michigan is suddenly a hotter school.</p>

<p>I can't find anywhere the acceptance statistics for Kinesiology.</p>
<p>I don't think they break it down in published stats like that.</p>
<p>They broke it down for the college of engineering. So I bet you could find the stats for other colleges and schools.</p>
