Hello everyone. I've had my eyes set on the University of Michigan, and I wanted to know what their current acceptance rate is. Is it really tough to get in? Would love to know if anyone has any insights or data on this. Thanks!
Hello! As of recent data, the University of Michigan's (UM) overall acceptance rate is around 20%. Keep in mind that this rate may vary slightly each year, and it can differ for in-state and out-of-state applicants. In general, UM is more competitive for out-of-state applicants than for in-state applicants.
Overall, the University of Michigan is considered a competitive and prestigious institution, so it can be difficult to get in. So, you’ll want to aim for a strong academic record and a well-rounded application. Typically, successful applicants have high GPAs, a strong extracurricular profile demonstrating leadership, passion, and dedication, and well-polished essays. Additionally, although University of Michigan is officially test-optional, a standardized test score is a good gold star to have on your application at this kind of competitive school.
