<p>snuffles, Michigan cannot extend many (if any) offers to waitlisted students considering the number of admitted students that have paid enrolment deposits, and they will not know for sure how many will actually enrol until mid September. As it stands, most years, Michigan does not admit many students from the waitlist (never more than 3% or 4%, with the exception of 2006). In years when over 6,700 pay enrolment deposits, odds are they University will not admit waitlisted students at all. At any rate, Michigan publishes waitlist stats:</p>
<p>2004: 4,836 were offered a spot on the waitlist, 1,537 accepted spots on the waitlist, 5 were admitted
2005: 6,489 were offered a spot on the waitlist, 1,863 accepted spots on the waitlist, 0 were admitted
2006: 8,385 were offered a spot on the waitlist, 2,776 accepted spots on the waitlist, 525 were admitted
2007: 5,662 were offered a spot on the waitlist, 2,067 accepted a spot on the waitlist, 0 were admitted
