University of Michigan sets another record with applications

ANN ARBOR (AP) — The University of Michigan says it again has processed and reviewed a record number of freshman applications.

The Ann Arbor News reports  the school had 51,760 applications for admission, a 4 percent increase over the previous year’s record of 49,731. This year’s total number of applications set a record for the University of Michigan for the ninth consecutive year.
