It really depends on the class size that Michigan is aiming for. If Michigan intends to stay at 6,500-7,000 freshmen, it will admit 15,000-16,000 applicants. The applicant pool is expected to rise substantially this year to 70,000. So we are looking at a 21-22% acceptance rate.

In the long term, unless Michigan decides to grow the size of its freshman class, Michigan’s acceptance rate will continue to drop for a while until it hits 10-15%, but that will not happen for another 3-5 years. The applicant pool will likely not exceed 100,000, but the yield rate will likely rise to 50%, if not higher, as Michigan’s acceptance rate drops and it becomes more appealing, and as it improves its FA packages.
