@Aplennox really? A lot of ppl in my grade who r applying to umich have like 4.0 gpa. C is probably average I guess lol umich only takes top 10-15% from my grade anyway. I guess that means less competition from my school if ppl r applying with c’s
@UofMichigan1999 oh lol I never pay attention to my football team anyway @kourtorder at least u guys have a competitive marching band northville only has a non competitive marching band but our band camp is 3 weeks long 45 hours a week
Does anyone know what acceptance rates are like from schools that are in Ann Arbor? I’ve heard it’s harder to get in if you’re in city…
@SwimmingDad " too poor to pay out of pocket and too wealthy to qualify for very much aid. (Not complaining…we are very fortunate…just a cold, hard fact.)" Very well said, in the same boat 
@nasoth the high schools in ann arbor are the top feeder schools and send like 150 people to umich every year, so ann arbor high schools have very high acceptance rates to umich. My friend who went to a high school in ann arbor said that most people were accepted and attended umich.
@Eeeee127 Your post is interesting because if you look at last year’s thread, many Ann Arbor students were complaining that they hadn’t been accepted. Schools were also complaining. Indeed, a much lower percentage were accepted than in the past. I suspect this is a function of the huge increase in applicant numbers. Admission is much more competitive than it used to be and attending a “feeder” school no longer is a ticket to admission.
@exlibris97 Yeah, I’m asking because a lot of my friends who applied last year didn’t get in, and only a handful from my school got in on the first ED date.
Are the EA admissions most likely going to come on Friday? And do they release admissions in waves like other schools or all at once?
@nasoth I go to high school in Ann Arbor and from what I remember, it was harder to get in last year than previous years. My teacher mentioned that they’d replaced one of the admissions officers for our region, so they were reading applications differently (and I guess more strictly?) than before. A lot of people still got in, but there were some pretty highly qualified kids who seemed like they would be accepted but weren’t.
@notanotherjanet I hope it’s different this year…I wouldn’t bet on it though.
Yes, it’s definitely gotten more competitive even in the top feeder schools in ann arbor because of the huge increase of out of state applicants. Umich used to receive most of their applications from in state students so they were able to accept many of them, but now umich is turning their focus to accepting out of state students. umich accepted 4500 in state students last year and 11,000 out of state students.
@Eeeee127 @amarz12 @UofMichigan1999 My school in the last 10 years has probably sent maybe 20 kids to U of M must be nice :))
@bells2017 what school do you go to?
@Eeeee127 that figure can’t be true. Out of state enrollment is up but it’s still 65/35. Also in state has a higher acceptance rate, so while they might accept more oos kids it’s just because there are that many more applying.
@nasoth no umich class of 2020 is now 50% out of state 50% in state look at this report for this years entering class
http://www.ro.umich.edu/report/16enrollmentsummary.pdf
also last year’s acceptance numbers from https://record.umich.edu/articles/admissions-reviews-more-55000-applications-fall
"This early snapshot of U-M admissions shows that of the 55,500 applications, 10,959 were submitted by in-state students with 4,511 being offered admissions for an acceptance rate of 42.4 percent.
From among the 35,783 applications submitted by students living in states other than Michigan and the 8,758 applicants living in other countries, 10,815 were offered admission for an out-of-state acceptance rate of 24.5 percent."

@Eeeee127 i thought you were talking about enrolled kids, I doubt all of those 10k oos kids ended up going to Michigan.
Does anyone know how a HAIL interview affects admissions?
HAIL doesn’t have a large impact on the outcome of your admission. It is like any other interview. Even if you chose not to give the interview, the lack of the interview wouldn’t have a negative effect on you. The majority of CoE don’t even get the oppurtunity for a HAIL interview so it can’t have a significant impact.
@captmag My friend missed the interview email and when he called admissions to ask they said the interview has only a minor effect. I think it will only put you over the top if you are close to being admitted.
^^^It can also win you tiebreakers if it comes down to you and another student
