<p>“As an incoming c/o 2018, I couldn’t care less about the admit rate. Hopefully the bigger incoming class is more in state students, as the ultimate purpose of the undergrad college is to provide a high quality and affordable education to Michigan residents.”</p>
<p>I think the ultimate purpose of the undergraduate education is to provide high quality opportunities to EVERYONE. I’m tired of people complaining about how there are not enough in-state students. Some of the best friends I have made at U-M are out of state and international students. I, an in-state student, have no problem with the large representation of out-of-state/international students. Why should U-M focus on Michigan residents when out-of-state students/international students pay significantly more than in-state students? I remember reading on this forum before that funding from the state makes up less than 10% of U-M’s annual operating budget. </p>
