| If those stats are accurate, Michigan is on the right path. The mean SAT score (1350-ish in one take), class rankings (90% in the top 10% of their class) and average unweighed GPA (3.8ish) are all excellent, but the acceptance rate of 62% just 2 years ago really hurt Michigan's image. Improving to 57% in 2005 and 47% this year is an excellent trend. Michigan does need to drop below the 40% acceptance mark if it really wants to get the respect it deserves from high school students, and I see happening in the next 2-3 years. |
