In-State vs. Out-of-State Enrollment

In Wisconsin, 60% of in state applicants are accepted. Definitely more competitive for out of state students though I cannot find the data published on that now.

I know 2 midwestern kids (not from MI) act 34/35 carrying 30+ college credits with a 4.0, deep extracurriculars who were waitlisted last winter applying EA and then encouraged to apply as transfer students to UMichigan. I absolutely think it is harder to get into these school from OOS and I wish these schools would publish data on that. They aren’t getting amazing in state apps across the board and mediocre out of state apps. I’m not saying they don’t have strong instate apps. I think like every school doing holistic app review they are looked at through a different lens. And I’m not complaining. It makes sense that these state university colleges serve their own populations first. I know students from MN who felt shut out of Madison this year with very good apps/stats as well.
