A whopping 55 University of Michigan alums placed in this year's Medical School class

<p>That is undeniably one of Michigan’s strongest assets. The University has very strong graduate professional programs. The medical school, ranked among the top 10 nationally, admits over 50 Michigan alums annually, which is, as you point out, “enormous”. </p>

<p>In addition to the Medical school, Michigan also has a top 10 Engineering program which also admits and enrols a large number of Michigan alums annually. </p>

<p>The Law School is arguably one of the top 5 (according to most legal scholars, major law firms and judges), and it also admits anywhere from 70-100 Michigan alums annually, of which 40-60 (50 on average) end enrolling. </p>

<p>The MBA program (Ross) is ranked among the top 15 programs in the nation and also admits a large number of Michigan alums. </p>

<p>Between those four professional programs, Michigan enrols over 200 alums annually. Another 300 or so enrol in other equally good graduate professional programs, such as the T14 Law schools, top 15 MBA programs, top 10 Medical schools and top 10 schools of Engineering. That’s a huge number of Michigan students enrolling in elite graduate professional programs on an annual basis.</p>
