Here is the thing that seems to stand out with OOS applicant number game: Let’s say U of M receives 55k applications, of which 15k might be in-state. I believe the overall accepted number was around 14k, with 7k admitted. The in-state acceptance is 40% or 6,000. That leaves 8k to be accepted out of the remaining 40k OOS or 20% acceptance. Of those, I’m guessing they like to have every state represented where possible, thus diluting the OOS acceptance further.

So while the overall acceptance rate is 25%-ish, in-state applicants fare better. While these numbers may be flawed, the trend should prove helpful.
