I would have to guess you were probably denied because of something non academic. Perhaps your essays weren’t too good, or it could have been mediocre recommendations or maybe a lack of leadership experience.

Regardless of why you were denied, you should probably try to appeal if Michigan is really your top choice. Appealing certainly can’t hurt, but you definitely shouldn’t hold your breath. I really wouldn’t expect them to change their decision.

Edit:
In one of your previous posts, you said you got into U-M (LS&A). Did they rescind your admission for some reason? If that’s what happened, it’s extremely unlikely for them to change their mind once they have already pulled the trigger.

You also mentioned that you got into MSU. If for whatever reason you can’t go out-of-state due to financial reasons (and your appeal to U-M is rejected), MSU is still a good alternative to Michigan.
