<p>It has not been below 6000 for many years. It always reported on the newspaper UMich is aiming for a class of around 6000 (at least in the last few years), the same at the information sessions and Campus Day too. The dorm situation has been a mess and it seems they are pushing the limit further this time as 2 years in a row with much bigger than expected freshmen classes. If they are really aiming for 5600-5800, someone need to be fired. ;)</p>
