<p>Well there goes the deadline. Good luck to you all!</p>

<p>For your reference, here are the collected EA admission data from Class of 2018 last year from this forum:</p>

<p>CoE from in state (n=8):
Avg SAT: 2065
Avg ACT: 33
Avg GPA: 3.83238</p>

<p>CoE from OOS (n=27):
Avg SAT: 2252.63
Avg ACT: 34.4286
Avg GPA: 3.90168</p>

<p>LSA from in state (n=32):
Avg SAT: 2141.43
Avg ACT: 31.1875
Avg GPA: 3.89509</p>

<p>CoE from OOS (n=49):
Avg SAT: 2178.28
Avg ACT: 33.25
Avg GPA: 3.88051</p>

<p>Are the GPAs weighted or unweighted?</p>

<p>Always uwGPA.</p>

<p>Just found a typo. The last group above should be for LSA instead of CoE.</p>

<p>LSA from OOS (n=49):
Avg SAT: 2178.28
Avg ACT: 33.25
Avg GPA: 3.88051</p>

<p>That data is quite skewed and isn’t a good indication of the actual EA acceptance stats from the class of 2018. I don’t think its offbase to assume that the students who post on this website generally have higher stats than the actual pool.</p>

<p>@ProjectCollege Students posting stat in this forum are a bit higher than average, but I expect the Class of 2019 results would be similar to last year. Remember, these are EA admitted stat, not the over all stat. Most that were not accepted EA but deferred to RD admission are likely to have lower stat. For CoE, the overall admission average/median was 33 last year and the mid 50 ACT was 30-33 for LSA. So these numbers seems to be reasonable considering only EA admission.</p>

<p>Where is everyone from?</p>

<p>I suspect there will be a considerable increase in the average admissions stats this year due to the provost’s plant to decrease admittance overall. ( <a href=“Provost announces plan to curb over-enrollment”>http://michigandaily.com/news/provost-announces-plan-curb-over-enrollment&lt;/a&gt; ) The acceptance rate could hit 30% (or even lower) given the combination of the provost’s plan and the continual increase in number of applicants.</p>

<p>Not sure how much higher the stats can go nicholaskell. They still have to accept at least 15000 students.</p>

<p>I also don’t expect they will want to take in fewer OOS given the tuition they “contribute”. So does that mean they get a little closer to 50% OOS?</p>

<p>@rjkofnovi‌ Like it said, they have been over-enrolling by about 500 people. Given the annual growth of applications, there is bound to be a greater number of strong applicants. This means if they are planning on reducing the yield by 500 people, they are going to have to admit less people. I think we can all safely assume that they wouldn’t pull that 500 from the top of the stack.</p>

<p>@wayneandgarth‌ There is no reason for them to want fewer OOS. The discount of tuition for in-state students comes from the Michigan state government. Thus, the only reason why in-state tuition is cheaper is because the discount was covered via taxes from your parents.</p>

<p>Ohio!</p>

<p>Has anyone gotten an email from Michigan Engineering for an alumni interview? Otherwise known as HAIL? My son received one and I was wondering if these emails went out to all engineering applicants that were geographically eligible?</p>

<p>@nicholaskeller - right; that is what I’m saying too. I wouldn’t expect them to cut down on OOS so that means Michigan moves somewhat closer to a 50/50 IS/OOS split.</p>

<p>Does anyone have any predictions as to when decisions will come out, since usually they are before the 24th? Last year they came out the 20th I believe. </p>

<p>I’m gonna go ahead and guess Friday the 19th</p>

<p>Anxiety is already killing me and its still almost two months away! lol</p>
