<p>UMich should ONLY be considered a match if you apply really early. But even then, out-of-state admissions there are pretty competitive. Although it isn’t as hard as Berkeley, and not as competitive as UCLA (since they get 55k+ apps a year; the most of any university), it’s still not that easy. It’ll also depend on what you’re applying for, but if you apply any time after January 1st, it’ll be a reach for sure. </p>
<p>They’re moving to the Common App next year (as far as I’m aware), so you should see an increase in applications, and a decrease in acceptance rate.</p>
