I have a younger cousin that will be applying next year, it seems like every other school in the top 40 has released application numbers, any guesses? Also, I don't suppose having a cousin counts as legacy ?

I think it's just parents or siblings, but I'm not sure.

Cousins don't count. On the old points scale where you needed ~100 points to get in, I believe you got 4 points for legacy if you had a parent come here, 1 point if you just had a sibling or grandparent come here.

I want to know the transfer admissions numbers...At least for LSA. I heard it was harder than any year past, but I don't know how much it dropped. It's usually around 40% for the whole school. May be LSA isn't the easiest school to get into?

Is admit % for engineering really as high as the website says it is? 65%?

Michigan typically won't release official admission stats until some time in the fall (late Sept/early Oct). University of Michigan - Office of Undergraduate Admissions

For what I can see, admission this year is quite weird ... probably because this was the first year they implement ER and the response was overwhelming. Next year should be better.

That's the official number. The applicant pool is more self-selective as the overall stats for engineering admits are higher.

Engineering acceptance rates are always higher at every school, and the raw stats(GPA/ SAT) are always higher as well. Engineers are self-selective.

My opinion is that i think they should get rid of the early response option, and just make it Early Decision, or make it Early Action, with a requirement to respond by end of January. These are yield protection measures, and in Michigan's case, it'll have more and more applicants each year, it'll be harder and harder to project yield with no binding admissions policy.
