TooOld4School, it is difficult to ascertain if Michigan considers race in its admission decisions simply by looking at the number of URM and Asian students enrolled. Unless we have full visibility into the number of URMs and Asian students who apply vs how many are admitted vs how many enroll, as well as unweighted GPA, AP classes taken and SAT/ACT ranges of students who apply and are admitted for each demographic, there is no way to know for sure.
That being said, I do not disagree that Michigan does not weigh race heavily in its decision, nor should it. Academic performance, extra curricular activities, personal circumstances (such as socioeconomics, health etc…) etc…should, and do, play a larger role. I am just saying that race is part of a person’s identity, and as such, it is very likely that on some level, it plays a part in the final outcome.
