OTHER IMPORANT INFORMATION
While 66% of the University of Michigan undergraduates are from Michigan . . . one third of the student body is not! Undergraduates come from all 50 states and more than 100 countries. It is unusual that one third of the class at such a prestigious state university is from someplace other than the school’s home state. This is very good news for out of state applicants.
