Admissions Information
The University of Michigan has a 51% acceptance rate. The school's admissions process reflects its greater academic program in that both are thorough and challenging. The process is based on many factors, with closer attention paid an applicant's academic qualifications.
When considering the importance of admissions factors, an applicant's academic record--including the rigor of his or her curriculum, GPA, and standardized test scores--holds the most weight. Other considerations, including letters of recommendation, essay, character, status as a first-generation college student, and level of interest are very important as well. Talent, extracurricular activities, class rank, alumni relation, geographical residence, volunteer work, and work experience are given some consideration.
