<p>What exactly is the difference between applying out of state and in state at Michigan? Is it significantly more difficult to get in out of state than in state?</p>
<p>Also, how does Michigan's "formula" for admission work?</p>
<p>It's pretty difficult to get in whether or not you're in state or out of state (Some of my friends didn't get in and are in state so being an in-stater doesn't guarantee you anything). However, if you're borderline in your stats, yes, it is easier to get a push into the school if you're in state.</p>
<p>Since Gratz and Grutter, undergraduate admissions are no longer decided according to a formula (or at least they aren't supposed to be).</p>
