Yes, but I knew she easily met their academic requirements. They were recruiting her pretty heavily and she attended some of their college application workshops (which focused on what they are looking for in essays). They also accept a large number of students, especially in-state students. But yes, compared to the Ivies/Seven Sisters and even Northwestern, it is easier to be accepted to Michigan. We haven't heard of anybody from her school who applied early acceptance who did not get in. And, as DeltaBetaBaby said, there is variability depending on major. Their engineering college is extremely difficult to get into as a freshman. The college of LS&A, not so much. I know a lot of kids who go to Michigan with worse stats and fewer extra-curricular/leadership activities than she has.
She finished her Columbia application today. That was her last one. It is a long waiting game now but yes, it is easier since she knows she has been accepted to a couple schools.
