How are undergraduate admissions decisions made at U-M now?
Each year, we may receive as many as 29,000 or more applications for an incoming freshman class of approximately 5,500 to 5,900. Among those applications, we seek the smartest and the most creative and talented, most energetic and passionate, most motivated and visionary students. While we consider academic qualifications, based primarily on grades and also on test scores, we look beyond those factors to assemble the best possible incoming class each year, a class that will contribute to the University community as they work toward graduation.
