What is the REAL acceptance rate?

<p>I've seen 50%(collegeboard), 47%, 42%(usnews), and even >50%.</p>

<p>I'm guessing it is about 50%, but is that overall? or EA/ED? or just RD?</p>

<p>You’re making me mad.</p>

<p>lol. This thread is serious though. Disregard my username.</p>

<p>lol, sorry man. But I think it’s somewhere around 50%.</p>

<p>Its 49.96% but you could just say 50%.</p>

<p>You can the admission statistics for the admitted class of 2009 here [Office</a> of Undergraduate Admissions: About Michigan](<a href=“http://www.admissions.umich.edu/about/]Office”>Explore & Visit | University of Michigan Office of Undergraduate Admissions)</p>

<p>it’s about 30% for OOS, and a lot higher for in state (b/c of in state mandatory rules)</p>

<p>What is it for in state?</p>

<p>Hmm… anyone know ED/EA acceptance rate.
btw thanks wolf.</p>

<p>For the class of 2012, in-state acceptance rate was 58% (overall 46%).</p>

<p>Last year the collegeboard acceptance rate said 50% until april, when it changed to 42%. I think this April it will probably change again to some lower number.</p>

<p>Does waitlist acceptance count? As part of the acceptance rate</p>

<p>what in-state mandatory rules does michigan have?</p>

<p>

The alumni association published the stats for just that year. You may be able to search for it on CC … otherwise you will just have to take my word for it.</p>

<p>I’ll take your word. :)</p>

<p>Overall acceptance rate (source: common data set):</p>

<p>2009-10: 50%
2008-09: 42%
2007-08: 50%
2006-07: 47%</p>

<p>The alumni association data might not be complete. For example, it didn’t include international applicant data; domestic acceptance rate was reported to be 45%, compared to 42% from the common data set.</p>

<p>okay, I have a hunch. I believe that if someone starts an application, they count it even if they don’t finish to make themselves look like a pretty tough place to get into albeit I haven’t gotten in yet <em>sigh. So once a kid sees that you have to get two recs and write three essays, they say </em>* it. idk what you guys think but it is just a theory of mine</p>

<p>No, it doesn’t work that way. Only submitted applications are counted.</p>

<p>you guys think it will drop because Michigan is on the common app now?</p>

<p>most def.</p>

<p>more people are gonna apply (since it’s more convenient), and the size of the incoming class is constant so the acceptance rate will have to decrease.</p>
