<p>Good point GoBlue. Not many “average” Michigan residents apply to Michigan because filling the application (with its two supplement essays) would be a waste of time. That is not the case with the UCs, where average students who apply to the lower UCs (Riverside, Santa Cruz and Merced) can lose nothing but $80 by ticking the Cal and UCLA boxes.</p>
<p>Can you show me some sources with the exact number of OOS applicants to Michigan, Alexandre? I tried looking to see where you are getting that information, but could not find any sources that document number of in state vs. out of state applicants for Michigan. I’m not talking about the number enrolled that can be found on the profile, but the number applied, accepted, and then enrolled. Thanks.</p>
<p>g0ld3n, Michigan does not release a breakdown of IS vs OOS applicants. Recently, the University receives ~17,000 IS applicants. That number has not increased much over the years. Of those, I would guess that 7,000 are admitted in the hope of enrolling a little under 4,000. The remaining applicants are OOS. Since Michigan received 42,000 applicants this year, it is safe to say that 25,000 OOS applicants applied. Of those, I would estimate that 8,000 will be admitted in the hopes of enrolling a little over 2,000. Those are purely estimates.</p>
<p>Listen to Brady Hoke… UM is a global degree fergodsakes!!! GO BLUE.</p>
<p>It’s true that Michigan does not release any official breakdown of OOS vs IS. However, in 2008, the alumni association published the admission profile of the class on its website, which was then reported by a CC poster:</p>
<p>Michigan applicants … 9,843
Out-of-state applicants … 16,656
Int’l applicants … around 3,200</p>
<p>The figures were preliminary and not official … but good enough for this purpose.</p>
<p>I am applying oos because, living in Nebraska, In state schools are god awful compared to state schools from alot of states</p>
