Michigan vs. Virginia

<p>Which one is harder to get into for an OOS?</p>

<p>virginia..</p>

<p>Definitely UVA. Smaller school, lower acceptance rate.</p>

<p>For out-of-staters, UVa is probably tougher to get into.</p>

<p>The OOS admit rate for U Virginia last year was just over 32% with a 36% yield (it was 45% accept rate for IS and 68% yield). Combined it was 37% accept rate and 51% yield. Here is a llink to their historical data:</p>

<p>U Michigan does not break out the information by IS and OOS and so you have to guess at the numbers. In their latest CDS, their accept rate was just over 47%. If you assume that their admit and yield trends were similar to U Virginia (both schools try to have a 67% IS/33% OOS enrollment), then you get something like IS admit rate of 60-65% and OOS admit rate of around 40-45%. </p>

<p>For a more complete comparison of the two schools, here is a lot more data which has been taken mainly from USNWR and collegeboard.com. </p>
