<p>UMich has been saying to aim a target of 6000-6200 but it rarely make it. The yield rate is about the same as last year while the admission rate drop 1%, but with the 6.4% increase in applicant, there are basically 6% more freshmen this year than last year which was already too much. Below is the number of freshman enrollments in the recent years (*paid deposit by May1, not actual enrollment). So there are some committed students (~225) actually goes somewhere else last year presumably due to waitlist on higher tier schools. Not sure if it is a similar case this year, but it is still likely to have the record large freshman class this year unless 300 or more students got in wait list somewhere else…</p>
