The questions focus on three factors that appear to have been important to the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor in admitting freshmen in 1995. This interactive feature is based on and uses all variables made available by UM Ann Arbor for the Lerner and Nagai analysis of 1995 admissions data (the study is posted on this website).

Additional information--such as your Michigan residency, whether either of your parents attended the University of Michigan, your athletic ability and status, Michigan county of residence, high school reputation, the number of Advanced Placement courses taken, and extracurricular activities--might also affect an individual's probability of admission.
