Why is it so had to get straight information on OOS admission to top state schools?

<p>For Michigan, you might be able to find a link to an applicant score table that applied before the lawsuits forced them to change their admissions practices to some extent. Try looking at the Detroit Free Press. Although the table is now “inoperative,” I would guess that the expectations and weights are still fairly similar, for applicants with no special hook. Part of the reason that Michigan does not show the OOS numbers separately is connected with their rolling admissions, I think. It becomes progressively harder to be admitted as the year goes on. For anyone thinking of Michigan, I highly recommend submitting the application ASAP, if you have not done so already.</p>
