<p>Over the last 5 years, the CoE has received the largest increase in applications of all Michigan colleges. That’s because the international applicant pool has grown faster than any other demographic and international students often target engineering. Last year, Michigan received 11,200 applications and admitted only 30% of them. This year, I hear that the CoE received a whopping 15,000 applications and admitted only 3,500 or so (23%). But those figures have not been finalized.</p>
