I canāt find the number of overall students accepted to Kinesiology. A friendās son was accepted. I wanted to share that stat. I canāt find the UM Common stats.
Are you looking for Kinesiology only stats? If so, I donāt believe those are published. Otherwise, Michiganās CDS will give you the entire 2020-2021 freshman class.
My daughter applied to kinesiology and was postponed.

thanks. I thought you had some stats here that said something about the number of incoming Kinesiology admits in one year. I remember it being super low like under 50, but maybe in 20s.
Thanks.
accepted today?
Iāll tell what little I know about Kinesiology. 
Maybe you were referring to what I had posted about my D18ās (2018-2019) class. Michigan published enrollment for all their colleges and it said that they enrolled 166 into the School of Kinesiology. How many they accepted, and what the yield was, that I donāt know.
Itās hearsay, but, back in February 2019, a CC member posted about Michigan Kinesiology for the Class of 2018-2019, info for that same class, but filled in some blanks.
The poster, who had spoken to academic advisors said that Kinesiology had 1,500 total applicants and accepted 250, thus making the acceptance rate 16.7%. If Kinesiology accepted 250 appplicants and 166 enrolled, then thatās a yield of 66%.
The poster also mentioned that 180 of the total 250 acceptances were in EA. Thus, 70 acceptances came from the RD pool.
The problem is that this information is 4 years old, when Michigan had 65,000 applicants and last year they had 80,000 applicants. 
I donāt know if that helps you at all.

Itās so hard to figure out what is making a difference this year. I am a big fan of standardized tests (SAT/ACT) and AP tests. I think they provide objectivity when schools across the country are using different grading scales, some schools are harder than others, etc. My S22 submitted his ACT scores and his AP test scores and they support his GPA. It all makes sense from a numbers perspective. That being said, he has been deferred at Michigan and accepted at UVA (out of state for both schools). I think the pool of applications has grown so large because of test-optional policies and that has made admissions so much tougher to navigate.

I feel it is the unknown. For years it was just 45-55 thousand applications. Basically the same amount instate vs out of state and they had their analytics down pat. Then it ballooned to 80,000ā¦now they really donāt have a clue how many to wait list, how many to accept. More instate want to come since the pandemic. They want to try to stay 50:50 instants vs out state. Pretty even female vs male and then the international student question with visa.
Last year the rumor and only a rumor was that more students accepted right away and really not many spots left like in the past so they wait listed early but then accepted kids early like right after May 1st or the extended deadline (forgot what it was).
So, I am probably wrong but I think many will get wait listed early to put on reserve then open that once they have a better head count that they can count on. I am not sure but they were working on a new dorm on central but have to look if that will be ready for this fall. If so, that might be telling. Also on North they were supposed to build new housing and get rid of others but the pandemic stopped that. Will have to look to see if anything new is planned for the fall.
Michigan has several new classroom buildings going up on campus. Extremely state of the art. Maybe thatās for a reason?
New poster here. Iāve been following along with great interest. Great information, definitely eye opening. Long post, but bare with me. Need to vent - my husband has heard enough and I donāt want to stress DD (just learned that lingo) out.
So here it goesā¦DD, stats below, was accepted to UC Boulder and GT, postponed to UM, and flat out rejected to UVA. DD is freaking out as UM, UVA and her remaining schools (UCLA, Middlebury and BU) are her top choices. She is fearful she will be rejected from them all.
OOS
Large, urban public school
4.0UW 4.6W
12 APs, 11 honors
5s and 4s on AP tests
32 ACT (didnāt take SAT)
National level athlete
Captain of high school and club travel soccer team
Managing Editor of school newspaper; Award winning journalist
Fulltime summer job
Various academic and athletic awards
100+ hours of community service
Good essays (which she wrote all by herself)
We think the difference was her ACT (35 Eng, 33 Read, 28 Math, 28 Sci). She has test anxiety and really struggled. We thought not sending scores would send the signal she was trying to hide low scores. But reading this forum and the UVA forum, Iām shocked to see so many test optional students admitted. Anyway, itās probably a waste of time to try to rationalize this process. I probably should spend my time getting DD excited about GT and UC. She sent in her LOCI and is hoping for the best in RD.
Congrats to those accepted and good luck to those waiting!

UCLA is test blind, right? Are you in state there or OOS? Seeing the UCLA results vs other big state school results will be interesting. Middlebury is a bit of a wildcard on that list, given that itās the only SLAC. Is she a recruited athlete there?

Yes, UCLA is test blind. We are OOS. She did receive an invite to apply for the Alumni scholarship but we understand that isnāt tied to admissions. So, not reading into that.
And yes, Middlebury is the one not like the others. She also applied to Amherst and Brown (reaches) but Middlebury is the school she really connected with. She was recruited for soccer by other schools but decided against it so she can pursue other interests.

My sons roommate got a 32 and submitted his score and accepted EA last year, only diff is in state. I would have had my DD summit if she had a 32 so I donāt think that is hurting her.

If the LOCI deadline is Feb 20, they may hear back before March. Just my guess

32 is a great score for just about any school. For engineering 33 /34 is the sweet spot. Again, itās not going to be one factor that doesnāt get someone in to x school. Itās the whole package. Either the schools on review see something they need /want /like or they donāt.
I tell many people to not take any of this personally. Itās really not about you. Itās about what the schools need in that moment in time. All these kids would do well just about anywhere. Remember that.
