<p>its 53% overall, does anyone know what they are for out of state applicants?</p>
<p>i thought they were 62/63 overall(someone check us news)</p>
<p>Overall acceptance rate was 62% in 2004. I am not sure what it was this year. Two years ago was 50%. But for out of staters, it is usually below 50%.</p>
<p>For the Class of 05'</p>
<p>23,842 Applications
13,565 Admissions </p>
<p>That is a 56.8% acceptance rate. I was hoping it would be lower lol</p>
<p>This year, I expect 27,000-30,000 applications and just 11,000 acceptances. So I would be surprised if the acceptance rate for the freshman class of '06 were over 40%.</p>
<p>why would this year be so much different?</p>
<p>Because the last two years, Michigan has overshot the mark by 20%. In 2004, Michigan was aiming for a class of 5,300 and got 6,000 students instead. This year, Michigan was again aiming for a class of 5,200 and got 6,500 students. This year, Michigan is going to be much more careful, giving out more deferrals and waiting to see what sort of yield they get before giving out acceptances. but the university will probably be aiming for a class of 4,800. Hoedown can verify this, I am just guessing here. But even if Michigan were aiming for a class of 5,300, they will still only need to accept 12,000 at the most given the fact that Michigan's yield has been in the 50% range in recent years. As for the increase in applicants, I just think that Michigan it is just a trend. It was 21,000 in 2004 and 23,000 in 2005. I think we will see over 25,000 for sure this year.</p>
<p>so, would this push the freshman class profile for 2006 from like 26-31 ACT and 3.6-3.9 GPA to like 29-32 ACT and 3.8-4.0 GPA?</p>
<p>Who knows. If the applicant pool does indeed reach 27,000 and Michigan decides to gor for a reasonable class rather than act desperate and accept 13,000, yes, the average scores and grades will go up significantly.</p>
