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

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!
