“Now it may be true that 21.1% of Michigan’s entire undergraduate student body is “enrolled in engineering”. Maybe that number is indeed higher than the corresponding number for some other schools with higher 4y graduation rates. If so, that fact might help explain some 4y graduation rate differences. However, to reach that conclusion fairly, we’d need to compare apples to apples. The CDS does not report the number “enrolled in engineering”. It reports the percentage of graduating engineering majors.”

That’s why I didn’t post CDS numbers tk.
