Has Michigan indicated how many students applied for the fall?
The total applications number hasn’t been revealed, at least in the news, admissions blog, or their Twitter account or Facebook page.
Unless someone else has the information here, all that has been revealed was that this year’s EA number is larger than last year’s, but the amount is still around 40,000. That’s the number that was disclosed in emails to EA applicants with their results, IIRC.
Thanks sushiritto.
At campus day today they said early action was around 40,000 applications and total they received around 70,000
^same. At Campus Day, this past Monday, we heard “approximately 70k” applications reviewed from multiple plenary sessions.
So roughly the same as last year. Thanks for your feedback.
I’m curious. If you have say 40,000 applicants EA and the school accepts say 6,000 from that pool. Then say maybe let’s just pick a random number of say 10,000 deferred applicants.
My question is if 2,000 of those deferred EA applicants get accepted on March 28th with the regular decision candidates how do they present. Do they essentially add to the total number of acceptances to the total RD pool or are they attributed to the total EA pool of numbers at the end of the day.
I know most schools seoerate out how many deferred EA candidates actually get accepted through the RD process ( often it is closer to the RD rate overall ) but in the end what pool of numbers are they ultimately grouped in?
Just curious if anyone knows?
@Alexandre Last year UMich received 65,684 apps, so an increase to almost 70,000 would be noteworthy to me. The UC system saw a decline of 3% in applications, for example. If almost 70,000 applied to UMich this season, then UMich may see a 6% increase. Very interesting. 
That 70K is starting to approach the total number of Michigan HS graduates and exceeds the number of Michigan students who enrolled in college last year. Wow.
