<p>Yea but when you go to tours many schools make you sign up, this makes me to believe that schools track interest whether they say they do or not. I was just as supprised as you guys are about what she said. I’m going to email her thanking her for the tour but I’m also going to ask about what she said.</p>
<p>“At least at my school, with classes of ~450, approximately 35-50 kids get in each year.”</p>
<p>Top ten percent sounds about right.</p>
<p>For any public university, admissions is going to favor the kids from that state ; that said, Michigan is about ~2/3 in state ~1/3 oos/international, which is one of the, if not the, highest amount of oos kids for a pub uni, so being oos is not going to be as much as a detractor as other schools such as Berkeley / Virginia. On average, oos app’s have higher stats than in-state, but it’s not a huge diff.</p>
<p>Actually rjkofnovi, my school is a top public school with 2000+ kids. And MOST go to UofM.</p>
<p>eagertolearn, the only public school that sends MOST of its students to UofM is International Academy. If you go to a school with 2000+ kids, you don’t go to IA. You probably go to Troy, Novi, Northville or an Ann Arbor area school. In those schools, even the best matriculation rate to UofM is never higher than 40% (and that’s being very generous). 40% =/= MOST</p>
<p>^That would probably be right. And I think 40% is too generous… probably closer to 20% at best.</p>

<p>LOL. This statement is so ridiculous it’s not even worth commentary.</p>
<p>Is it Novi that shares campuses with Plymouth and some other school that I can’t recall as of right now?</p>
<p>When i said most, I meant most top students. Haha not half or anything.</p>
<p>UVAorBust- I went on the tour last week and the info guy said that about 65% of the applications are from OOS and about 65% of the incoming class is from IS. That makes whatever you heard impossible to be true.</p>
<p>My graduating class only had around 100 people, and a little over 30 are at UM.</p>
<p>I guess either my tour guide was lying or yours was…</p>
<p>^^^</p>
<p>Didn’t you say that the Dean told you the info, not your tour guide?</p>
<p>“UVAorBust- I went on the tour last week and the info guy said that about 65% of the applications are from OOS and about 65% of the incoming class is from IS. That makes whatever you heard impossible to be true.”</p>
<p>The yield on the OOS is much lower than the yield on the IS.</p>
<p>Ok fine just do a little search on here and compare the accepted stats of in staters to out of staters and believe what you want. And there is no way the yield is that much worse OOS than IS.</p>
<p>my school is top public and we have 6,000 
i win.</p>
<p>Is it Novi that shares campuses with Plymouth and some other school that I can’t recall as of right now?</p>
<p>No, Plymouth (where I go), Canton, and Salem are all on one campus with over 6,000 kids (we’re getting close to 7,000)</p>
<p>to the OP: don’t worry about getting into michigan, they accept 1 out of 2 applicants. it’s not hard to get in at all.</p>
<p>Its defiately harder to get in from out of state. I read somewhere (in know, pretty bad source) that if you were in the top ten percent of Michigan students you were almost guranteed in. I have a buddy tht applied when I did (I’m from Ohio) that was higher then the top ten here and didn’t get in. Now I can’t speak on his specific GPA or anything, I’m just saying. </p>
<p>As for FA, I don’t know if OOS gets more. I didn’t get anything but some loans and my dad is a real estate broker, so his income has obviously dropped over this past econ crisis. They planned ahead and had a nice sum save up though so we apparently weren’t needy enough, and this is after getting money from other schools.</p>
