It was in my list but my second son is a Goldilock , we took him to Hawaii and he sat on the beach and refused to get into the water. He may not be able to take cold so I am little hesitant for Michigan because of the snow.
After what admission officers saw last year , they are very reluctant to give high hopes on UC admission so they are insisting on some safety schools. Even if kids got admitted to UCs last year they did not get the first choice of their major so it was very tough.
As per this article we should start seeing some difference this year but dont want to count on it.

This reminds me, of my DC regret after applying 4 safety schools, felt it was waste of time after the fact. My DC got all 4 safety schools with half-tuition scholarships and 1 near full-tuition scholarship and 3 UCs. The realization came in after many said looking into the profile, that DC could have got into at 1-2 Ivys had DC applied to them. It was too late in the game because by that time application period has been closed already. Maybe you can add one Safety school in your case, like UNR or ASU. Not sure if COA is an issue, but there are a few colleges out there that give out Full Ride for the NMF students.
My intention is not to challenge the admission officers, but hoping the below thread shed some light on likely UC acceptance by campus Vs UC GPA.

At our school, “the UCs are unpredictable” and “last year was a bloodbath” usually (but not always) means the kids didn’t get into UCLA or Berkeley.
I would encourage your son to look into UCSB. Specifically:
It doesn’t get any more “Goldilocks” temperature wise than Santa Barbara.
Good luck to your son.

"Starting Autumn 2023
In order to implement a transparent and equitable admission process and recognizing the challenges in meeting the demand and space availability in popular majors, effective Autumn 2023 the college will limit enrollment options for all Columbus and Regional campus students pursuing the following majors:
- Aerospace Engineering
- Biomedical Engineering
- Computer Science and Engineering (ENG) / Computer and Information Science (ASC)
- Mechanical Engineering
Only students in these pre-majors may apply to their respective major. For example, only biomedical pre-major are permitted to apply to the biomedical engineering major.
Prospective Ohio State students (freshmen and transfers) interested in one of these majors will need to apply to the major during the undergraduate admissions process."
