<p>I'm waiting for admit decision from Michigan. But have heard countless tales that since they went on the Common Application getting admitted is much harder because they are getting more applicants. Anyone else heard this?</p>
<p>You can verify that yourself using the Common Data Set. [Office</a> of Budget & Planning: Common Data Set](<a href=“Office of Budget and Planning”>Office of Budget and Planning) The last admit rate was 40% while it was near 60% in 1999, and the 75%ile for SATs has gone up.</p>
<p>The answer is that it probably is getting harder: [Common</a> App adds to spike in applicants - The Michigan Daily](<a href=“http://www.michigandaily.com/news/record-u-population-could-be-due-common-app]Common”>Common App adds to spike in applicants)</p>
