For LSA Class of 2019? Does anyone know or have an estimate? I know that for LSA last year, it was 37%, but that’s both in and out of state.
It was probably in the 25% range. Why does it matter?
I was just curious because I don’t know why I was accepted with my accomplishments…haha.
Of the 6500 freshmen, 36% is from OOS and the yield rate of OOS students was 27% last year. Assuming the final enrollment is proportional to the numbers committed on May 1 when the deposit was due, ~2400 out of 6700 committed students were from out of state and that would come from ~8900 admitted OOS students for the whole campus. Considering near 40,000 of applicants out of the 50,000 last year were from OOS (10,000 applicants from Michigan), the admission rate for OOS applicant last year was slightly above 22%. Similar calculation gave an in state admission rate of around 58% based on the 59.3% freshmen from in state and 68% yield rate from last year. All numbers based on the Almanac published in January this year.
Getting into Michigan has always been an accomplishment, ThePariah. Michigan’s freshman class profile has always been one of the most accomplished in the nation. The acceptance rate for OOS students is low (probably 25%, or less), and dropping rapidly.
It does go down rapidly. For 2015, it is estimated to be around 20% or less if they did admit only 13,000 and the proportion of OOS to in state did not change from last year.
Isn’t the overall admission rate this year for both instate and out of state around 25%?
If they did admit 13000 as planned, then it is.
@billcsho You did a rather complicated equation when the university itself said the acceptance rate for in-state students was under 30%. The Michigan admissions counselor who visited our school said it was 27% for both in-state and OOS.
“for both in-state and OOS.” I assume this means not 27% for in-state and 27% for out of state as separate events, but 27% as a joint event.
If in state students has a 27% admission rate, the yield rate needs to be over 100% which is impossible, unless they reverse the in state to OOS ratio.
Hi guys. Thanks for all the responses. I can’t believe the acceptance rate for in-state is that high, and the OOS acceptance rate is pretty low o.o.
I’m really happy 
I can believe it. UMich is a public school supported (in part) by the taxpayers of MI. Also, its Board is elected by the citizens of MI.
Yeah. I did vote for them although I don’t have much idea who they are. 
Here is the data from UMich I quoted from. See p.11 on the pdf below:

The OOS admission rate was 27% last year, it is expected to be near 20% this year if they did admit only 13,000 total.
Applicants to Michigan instate are self selecting. Everyone knows that it is a difficult admit. Less qualified students are typically not going to bother to apply.
For OOS students, they are more likely to be self selected by financial situation than by admission stat. Indeed, the admission stat is only showing the overall data from all students while there are 4 times more students from OOS competing for 2/3 of seats as for in state students. Even with the relative yield rate adjusted, an OOS is still 2.4 times harder to get in than an in state student.
Isn’t the breakdown of spots for residents vs nonresidents generally about 50:50?
No. It has been around 60:40 for the last few years.
OOS acceptance rate was 27% last year… I would think it would have to be at or below 25% this year! http://obp.umich.edu/wp-content/uploads/almanac/Almanac_Ch2_Jan2015.pdf
