Hey, I'm curious about the acceptance rate at the University of Michigan for out-of-state students. I couldn't find any recent numbers, can anyone help me out with some updated info?
Hey there! The University of Michigan, like many public universities, has a lower acceptance rate for out-of-state students compared to in-state students. Unfortunately, UMich doesn't publish its exact out-of-state acceptance rate on its website. However, it's generally understood that the acceptance rate for out-of-state students is more competitive than the overall acceptance rate.
The most recent figures available place UMich's overall acceptance rate at around 20%. It's difficult to provide a precise number for out-of-state students, but some estimates suggest it could be around 10-25%. Do keep in mind that these numbers are approximate, and also subject to change from year to year.
While considering your chances for UMich, remember that admissions are holistic, so your application will be evaluated based on multiple factors such as academic performance, extracurricular activities, and essays. If you are a qualified applicant with a strong profile in these other areas, you stand a good chance of being admitted even if you're applying from out of state. Good luck!
