How much harder is it to get into UMich OOS? (I’m from Nebraska)
The OOS admission rate is getting closer to 20%. The real matter is how does your application stand out from the crowd.
Nebraska might be a good hook. Most OOS students are from NY, NJ, Illinois, and California.
Last year there were only 23 students from Nebraska in all years of undergrad (vs almost 1500 from New York), so I think you have a good hook.
