The University of Michigan's student body includes 25,555 undergraduates. These undergraduates hail from every state in the United States as well as more than eighty other countries. Half of them are women, 4% are international students, and 25% are African American, Hispanic American, Native American, or Asian American.

Of the 5,399 first-year students who enrolled at Michigan in 2006, 28% had an unweighted high school grade point average of 4.0 and 52% had a 3.9 GPA or higher. The middle 50th percentile of the admitted class had ACT composite scores of 27-31 and an SAT total of 1900-2160. Advanced Placement and/or International Baccaulaureate credit was granted to more than 3000 new freshmen. Typically, 34% of each class will enroll in a graduate or professional program (such as medical or law school) when they graduate from Michigan. While they are here, Michigan undergraduates will major in one (or two) of more than 200 degree programs or an individual concentration program.

Michigan students have gone on to become Nobel Prize winners, journalists, scientists, doctors, actors, writers, astronauts, governors, and even a President of the United States. Who will you sit next to in your writing, or math, or science, or Spanish, or chemistry, or political science, or art history, or music, or engineering class? What would you do with a degree from the University of Michigan?
