My daughter was just accepted and committed and yes, everyone is invited to apply to honors. The FAQ says 10% are admitted. Given the odds of getting into Michigan in the first place she’s taking a beat before deciding whether it’s worth it. The application is just an essay.

Yes, for the good dorm, and access to honors only classes. DC didn't really take full advantage of all the Honors activities but it was still worth doing for 2 years.

It is worth it to apply. She doesn't have to accept a spot if she doesn't want to.

It’s an honors program, not an honors college.

It’s extremely popular and I didn’t know that until my kid began applying to schools. Not on my radar at all. Like most, DC was postponed then rejected. It was hard to see their disappointment but otherwise, I didn’t care. I do not get the obsession. We visited. The law school was pretty and it was otherwise fine but nothing magical. It’s like the Stanley cup: it’s a great thing but the hype and obsession is over the top.

That’s you didn’t know that Michigan is extremely popular says more about you than the school. The hype might be over the top for someone of your age. Teenagers however, look at things differently.

Cornell grads are a particularly grouchy bunch. They get no respect from grads of other Ivies, constantly complain about how the weather was, & are OBSESSED with how their 3.1 GPA at Cornell would have been a 3.8 anywhere else.

I’m not ashamed of my age nor am I ashamed to be interested in different things than teenagers.

It was stated like that? Or is that your summary?

If you know your child wants to go to UofM, move to Michigan. >40% acceptance rate for their instate applicants.

That’s was last year and it was slightly less than 40%. Who knows how much harder it will this year, although I suspect instate will be similar. It’s nice than a high quality instate school can handle its top students and still have a good amount room for OOS students. Probably the only elite public university that can do this.

And you can also save on tuition: $16,736 for in state vs. $55,334 for out of state.

If you’re talking about the Residential college you used to have to live in East quad - one of the worst dorms. Hopefully it has AC now. Besides stifling temps the atmosphere was pretty dorky if that is your thing. Not a lot of social skills going on there.
