<p>I live in California and just wondering if my chances are higher or lower applying to University of Michigan at Ann Arbor? Or are they not affected?</p>
<p>It goes both ways. They prefer in state because they pay taxes, but on the other hand, they get more $$$$$$$$$ from OOSers.</p>
<p>In general UMich Ann Arbor’s OOS applicants face stiffer competition because their pool is larger given the allotted spots for them. The in-staters get the largest portion of slots and it seems (to me) that the admit rate is higher than OOS.</p>
<p>But the acceptance rate for those who don’t submit an app hovers near 0.0 percent each year. LOL</p>
<p>Go ahead and apply. Ann Arbor is beautiful!</p>
<p>I’m in state. It is definitely easier to be accepted if you are in state rather than out of state. But I would support T26E4 in saying that you should go ahead and apply anyway. If you’re willing to pay the price why not give it a shot?</p>
