<p>So I know overal currently umich's acceptance rate is about 37%. But I presume the acceptance rate of IS and OOS vary. Does anyone know what the IS and OOS acceptance rates are?</p>
<p>Actually, the current acceptance rate will likely be 30% (37% was last year’s).</p>
<p>The OOS acceptance rate will be slightly lower. There is no exact figure, but I would guess in the 20-25% range.</p>
<p>I recognize that, like most universities, Michigan’s rate drops annually. But until this year’s common data set is released the only objective, declarative acceptance rate we can go by is the prior year, at 37%.</p>
<p>This year’s acceptance rate hasn’t been disclosed formally in a common data set, so it’s hard to say for certain. I think in general the OOS acceptance rate will be slightly lower than the overal rate, while the IS will be slightly higher than the overal rate.</p>
<p>My friend who goes to a large michigan public high school said based on their HS statistics provided by their guidance counselors, 47% of his high school’s applicants were admitted for Fall 2012. This might give you a general idea for In state acceptance rate. This is probably slowly lowering, however.</p>
<p>I think recently Michigan has been going away from the 66% IS and 33%OOS towards 55% and 45%. I’ve literally met OOS freshman than IS freshman.</p>
<p>Last year’s acceptance rate was ~30% for OOS and ~50% for IS. Of course this data is now useless since there is expected to be some ~8,000 more applicants this year over last (and next year the number of applicants is expected to grow again by a similar number), but it should still give you a really rough estimate.</p>
<p>“I recognize that, like most universities, Michigan’s rate drops annually. But until this year’s common data set is released the only objective, declarative acceptance rate we can go by is the prior year, at 37%.”</p>
<p>If one has an agenda to disprove reality, then that is true. The reality, which of course if more important than last years data, is that Michigan’s acceptance rate will be around 30% this year. Obviously the OOS acceptance rate is going to be lower quite a bit lower than that number.</p>
<p>“My friend who goes to a large michigan public high school said based on their HS statistics provided by their guidance counselors, 47% of his high school’s applicants were admitted for Fall 2012.”</p>
<p>This is not surprising at all. A good high school is going to discourage average students from applying to Michigan if they are not qualified.</p>
<p>The UofM counselor that came to my school earlier this school year said that the in state acceptance rate is relatively stable at 50%</p>
<p>^^^^Once again makes complete sense to me. Michigan gets the lions share of the top students in the state. For the vast majority of good students the answer to the following question is easy. Why go out of state and pay more for an education that isn’t as good, or even marginally better?</p>
<p>50% for Michigan for in state?? Man, those instaters are lucky!</p>
<p>Think about it reddog25. Michigan is a very large school. It ends up with about 3500 instate students/year from a state that is not growing in population. Most other public elites are from very large states in population or have their flagship schools with a much smaller enrollment. Add to the fact that most unqualified instate students will not bother applying, and you have a fairly high acceptance rate.</p>
<p>I’m sure it’s slightly harder for OOS, but the in staters also know to not bother applying if their chances suck. Many don’t have unlimited funds to apply to a dozen colleges. The guidance counselors are literally like “Apply to XYZ” in state. But yeah, that 2/3 IS is way outdated. There’s no way that this year’s class will have 3500 IS.</p>
<p>Actually 4000 would be 2/3 steellord321. 3500 is less than 40% :-)</p>
<p>Yeah in staters definitely have an easier time getting in. It shows sometimes too.</p>
<p>Just based off of stats, your average OOS kid would be “more qualified”</p>
<p>That’s not to say I haven’t met very smart IS kids</p>
<p>I can also give you the IS SAT averages based on admitted students from a large public in Michigan.</p>
<p>CR: 570-640
Math: 590-690
Writing: 580-650
With an average SAT score of 1850. </p>
<p>No information on instate GPAs.</p>
<p>Let’s see the ACT scores Jakey54. The vast majority of Michigan high school students take the ACT and not the SAT.</p>
<p>Ill ask my friend who is the student at the large public in Michigan if he has ACT averages. I’ll get back to ya.</p>
<p>Also, what is the name of the school? Where is it located?</p>
<p>One of the most interesting articles I’ve seen is this from the Michigan Daily in 2010 about the top feeder high schools:</p>
<p>[Feeding</a> the ‘U’: Why 16 percent of the student body comes from the same 20 high schools - The Michigan Daily](<a href=“http://www.michigandaily.com/content/feeder-schools]Feeding”>Feeding the 'U': Why 16 percent of the student body comes from the same 20 high schools)</p>
<p>Yes it’s out of date - would love to see an update - but it holds true with my d’s experience. We found it significant because she attended a newer HS (10 yrs old) that actually has a higher academic record than the older HS in our town but the older HS continues to have a much higher acceptance rate.</p>
