Michigan knows this and hence they waitlist almost every OOS student, to protect their yield.

And yet, somehow OOS applicants to Michigan are admitted EA and do attend, like my daughter from CA. Of course, she chose Michigan over the UC’s, because of the college town atmosphere (Ann Arbor), probable housing and registration issues, advisors, etc. with the UC’s, which she had zero at Michigan.

And because of AP credits and testing, she was able to finish in 3 1/2 years, though she would have finished in 3 years but not for 2 minors.

And one big perk with Michigan, she was able to “mob” the field after Michigan beat Ohio State 42-27 in 2021.

BTW, UCLA’s overall yield for the Fall of 2022, as an example, was 50%. Michigan was 47%, so fairly similar in overall yield, even though Michigan enrolls roughly a 52/48 ratio of in-state vs. OOS/Internationals. I assume OOS yields for both are similar.
