UMich Ann Arbor Early Action for Fall 2022 Admission

Here - note that students who were deferred or rejected did not fill in their data. Also, students self-report so acceptances and enrollments could be under reported. A quirk of Naviance - if a student starts application, but does not finish, it counts as an application (DD22 and I figured this out by opening apps but not completing them).

2017 - 55 applied, 8 accept, 3 enroll.
2018 - 50 applied, 11 accept, 1 enroll.
2019 - 43 applied, 9 accept, 4 enroll.
2020 - 64 applied, 5 accept, 0 enroll (I know this is not right because at least 3 enrolled).
2021 - 63 applied, 8 accept, 6 enroll.
2022 - 48 applied, 5 accept (at least 2 will not enroll based on our convos with parents).

Factors to consider - our OOS school has atypically large number of girls interested in COE and Michigan is generous with accepts but not generous with merit/financial aid and at least 1/2 the kids need aid to put Michigan on an equal footing with SUNY to attend.

I guess we’ll hope not to be in that position. Nothing to do except wait.

That is what I was trying to answer
no, I don’t think she can do that.

If and when it gets to that point, admissions should have an answer, but my guess is that you have to accept LSA admissions to stay on the Ross waitlist.

Are you referring to need or non-need based aid (Merit)?

I’ll bet she’ll be accepted into Ross on 2/18. :crossed_fingers:

Thanks! Interesting that a decent portion of admits didn’t submit scores. Since a portion submit both it’s hard to tell how many exactly but probably at least 20% or so.

Our kid is the opposite. From a highly ranked school with every option imaginable and took advantage of large number of APs, etc. Frankly surprised they were EA accepted. As parents, we know nothing about U Michigan. Nothing. At. All. Heard it was a good school that’s it.

Like most OOS on this thread, kid has very high stats. In our case, I doubt many from kids high school apply to U MIchigan and few attend. The numbers in naviance were double the normal acceptance rate but the numbers are low. School is small.

For our family, decision to attend UMichigan will be based on other acceptances. And the very high OOS costs will be a large negative factor vs. other options. Another factor will be deep dive into the programs of interest. Since we are not from the Mid West have to kick the tires on career options (again based on final choices received).

I think there are in fact many reasons why kids are accepted/rejected. Some are tangible some are not. I think I know the reason our kid was accepted but it might be a totally different reason. Who knows.

Interesting. So GPA /rigor what they are looking for with test scores, essay and recommendations a close second. Doesn’t seem to change so not really a mystery of what they always look for.

90% of the class has a 3.75 - 4.0 unweighted GPA. I know we know this but just impressive :clap:

I believe that this is actually only the 3rd year for Michigan to break out 4.0’s, which is now at 33.4%.

So, 33.4% of the apps to Michigan have an uwGPA of 4.0 on a 4.0 scale.

Not merit but actually some oos do. Need based grants like the Michigan grant

In previous years 8 to 10 applicants were accepted.

First off congrats to your daughter.

Great question. But to be considered for Ross she has to be accepted by her home school first and in this case it’s LSA. If she doesn’t commit to LSA by May 1st then she won’t be on the wait list any longer. Yes, she might have to pay to commit to 2 schools if you want to do the wait list. But just call admissions and ask them so you know for sure. If you find something different please report it back here. Good luck.

Geez we have to get you up to speed.:joy:

Can’t find it now but 45 majors in the top 10


Congrats to your child.

Our school’s Naviance must be less functional than most. Nothing but a scattergram of GPA/test scores and accept/waitlist/denied. No timelines, but based on data from other schools, looks like maybe 5 years of data.

11 students with 1460+, all GPAs 3.8+: 8 accept, 3 waitlist. Highest is 3.99/1570

20 students below 1460: 3 accept, 1 waitlist, 16 denied.

D22, 4.0, 1580, 1st in class was postponed.

I think it means that UMich received a huge number of great candidates this year. Your daughter’s stats look great.

The scattergram doesn’t show dates. Do you see a stacked bar chart above the scattergram? There should be one for each year (going back 5 years), showing the #applied, #accepted and #enrolled.

No, there’s nothing else. I’ve been using/exploring our school’s version for 5+ years, including the parent’s “How to use Naviance” session from the Guidance office.

Interestingly:

This institution is a Safety : Your academic qualifications (GPA & test scores) are above the academic profile of students nationally who are typically enrolled at this institution.

That’s what Naviance said for my D too but she was deferred. Same for the school valedictorian. That’s why I don’t trust Naviance ; )

Yes, I don’t put much faith in it. D’17s data correctly shows where she applied and attended but her data never appeared on any scattergram. MIT shows no one ever accepted, but her classmate and family friend graduates this year.

I’m not sure I ever even saw that “Safety” classification before. If I did, I certainly didn’t pay attention to it.

You can read my previous posts - I think your DD22 was yield protected. Others will disagree.
