so it’s not a differentiating factor for Michigan.

All I can say is that for us, it was a differentiator between various UC’s and Michigan. And one of D’s best friends had the SAME major at UCLA, but took 4 years with summer school, because she couldn’t get all her classes when she wanted them. YMMV.

Michelle_Li3:

2- Growth in applications is also not unique to Michigan. The number of applications has grown across all college campuses in last 3-4 years.

Never said that the growth in applications was unique to Michigan. My point was that the admittance rates and yields you were quoting for Michigan were old. Dated.

Michelle_Li3:

In fact, UCLA received a record 169,800 applications for Fall '23, which is double the number of apps received at Michigan.

Yep, and as I mentioned above, the population of CA is about 40,000,000 and Michigan’s population is about 10,000,000.

Graduating HS seniors for 2022-2023:

California 431,000
Michigan 94,000

So, CA has over 4x the amount of graduating seniors and only 2x as many applicants. My original point was Michigan must defer many applicants due to EA space limitations. And their admittance and yield rates have come down from the #'s you quoted. Your info was dated. I was trying to give current #'s.
