1- I don’t think ability to graduate in 3 years is something unique to Michigan. It depends on the student, what courses they have taken prior to college, and how much load they take in college - it’s okay for students to study at the pace they’re comfortable with.

I know many students who have completed their college in 3 years at top tier institutions, e.g. MIT, Berkeley, UCLA, Georgia Tech, UIUC, etc, so it’s not a differentiating factor for Michigan.

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.

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