So, Michigan is super transparent and shares so much useful information on their website. I went searching and found quite a bit that I thought I'd share with you all 🙂

Sources:
Michigan Admissions Snapshot
Michigan Financial Aid
Michigan Match

Interesting Data:
- Michigan interviews on average 457 individuals and accepts 371 individuals. The post-interview acceptance rate doesn't vary much between in-state and out-of-state, but they interview a lot more in-state than out-of-state students.

- The vast majority of interviewed and accepted students were complete in June or July.

- The average accepted and matriculated GPA/MCAT are about the same, but applicant GPA/MCAT is a fair bit lower.

- Over half (55%) of students receive financial gifts in the form of need-based aid (35%, $16,202 average yearly grant) or merit-based aid (47%, $40,191 average yearly grant). Given the percentages, it's clear that a large quantity of students receive both!

- Michigan is the only school I've seen that provides a match-rate pre and post SOAP (93.8% pre-SOAP, 99.4% post-SOAP). This is a massive deal, and it's great to see such transparency!

They also seem to be quite generous with merit aid which is super nice!
I have also seen/heard that they are relatively open to negotiation if you have other competitive financial packages, but would definitely need to get that fact checked

If you get an email from Michigan on a non-Monday, you're probably getting rejected lol

Applications are up 15% this year, compared with those applying for the 2023 entering class. (MSAR will update with 2024 entering class data sometime in the next week or so.) The competition is fierce. Sending good vibes to everyone including my own "pony" in this race.

This school is phenomenal! The personalized acceptance letter with a handwritten note from the dean, unique acceptance video, call from a medical student and a thoughtful sweet email from one of my long interviewers were all so touching. I’m so happy that I have the chance to attend this amazing school.

v much agreed, crazy amount of effort it seems that goes into building a family rather than a class. very cool.

I wonder if anyone has ever pulled data on their acceptance --> attending rate. must be super high. and attrition rate prob low

Based on their 5 year snapshot they admitted on average 352 students for a class size of 170(ish), so just under 50% matriculating. Not sure how that stacks up to other programs but seems like good value.

*Good to see you back on the Elden Ring grind btw, currently going back through the DLC again*

Michigan. For the 2023 cycle (applying summer 2022), they had about 8,900 applicants; it's 10,200 this year (2025). We'll find out in a week or so whether 2024 was already trending upward, or if this year is as big a bump as it seems.

THIS! I can't get over how much care they put in, compared to the generic acceptance emails I received from the different schools I got into, you can truly tell the difference. All of those PLUS multiple other mails/emails. Very creative and SO much effort was invested. I feel so lucky.
