University of Michigan Admission Rate

I am planning on applying to the University of Michigan next fall and I'm just wondering what their admission rate is like? How competitive is it compared to other state universities?

The University of Michigan is considered one of the more competitive state universities in the country. Most recently, the acceptance rate was approximately 18%. The exact figures can change with each admission cycle and are influenced by factors such as the number of applicants, the strength of the applicant pool, and the university's enrollment targets.

To put these numbers into perspective, this is significantly more selective than many public universities, but on par with or slightly less selective than other top-ranked public institutions like the University of California–Berkeley or the University of Virginia.

It's also important to remember that admission rates can vary widely by specific major or program of study at the University. Some programs like Ross School of Business or the College of Engineering have more stringent admission criteria.

Therefore, while these numbers provide a general guide, the specific competitiveness of your application will also depend on your individual profile (grades, test scores, and extracurricular activities) and how it aligns with the particular program to which you're applying at University of Michigan. Good luck!
