What is the UM acceptance rate for this year, do we have any numbers officially or any speculations?
No numbers yet. I am estimating 70,000 applicants and 16,000 admits (23% admit rate).
For OOS, I think we are looking at 60,000 applicants and 10,000 admits (17% OOS acceptance rate).
Of course, those are just estimates.
I don’t know the overall acceptance rate, but I was told at Spring Welcome Day that the acceptance rate for the College of Engineering was 18% this year.
19%. accepted 12,500 out of 63,000 -campus day
richardye, those numbers seem low. Michigan is aiming for a 6,600 freshman class. For that to happen with 12,500 admits, the yield would have to be 53%. Michigan’s yield is more like 43%. In other words, it is likely that Michigan will admit 15,500. Also, Michigan is saying that they received roughly 70,000 applications. In other words, we are looking at a 22-23% acceptance rate.
maybe yield went higher, we heard that the number of offers for admission dropped in our area by almost half for Michigan and a couple other schools. There was a time that Michigan accepted 15-18 students at my school and last 2 years dropped, this year 4 were admitted and 8 denied and 3 will be attending.
FoxRulz, Michigan’s yield is indeed inching upwards. There is no doubt that as the University becomes more selective, and improves its FA packages, it will become more appealing and the yield will improve. However, it will not improve from 44% to 53% in one year. It may have improved to 45% or 46%, but it is unlikely that the yield will have leapt from 44% last year to 53% this year.
65,000 applied; aiming for a 6,600 freshman class.
If those figures are accurate and assuming yield remains at 43%, you’d need a 23.6% admit rate to meet the enrollment target. If yield ticks up to 44%, you’d need a 23.1% admit rate. If yield is 45%, the admit rate would need to be 22.5%. So let’s just say that on those assumptions, the admit rate is in the vicinity of 23%
Alexandre says there were 70,000 applications. That would push the admit rate down to somewhere between 21% and 22%, depending on what yield figure you’re using.
In either case, it almost certainly means the OOS admit rate is now under 20%.
