U Michigan EA results

[Anonymous]

Honors is different than Residential college. When DC was in it the dorm was South Quad, which was desirable.

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.

Are you saying there’s grade deflation at Cornell?

They come out later, at least last year they did.

New application process starting Fall 2025. If you applied directly to Ross BBA, the decision came out today. No longer the LSA and then Ross.

Your ACT was too low. Seriously, you’ll more than likely get in during RD. I assume you’re not going to withdraw your application.

This. A 4.0 UW should frankly have better than a 34. It proves grade inflation.

A 34 is like a 1500. That's a great score.

Not everyone can get accepted EA, but the 34 itself probably didn't cause it. Numerous admission factors. Thousands of applications.

FYI, you are replying to someone from a year ago. Someone bumped the 2024 thread.

They do care. I’ve heard it bumps it up a bit, especially if they’ve visited campus, then the acceptance rate is similar to in-state. Congrats still, it’s a great option!

We visited UMich last summer but didn't bother to check in with admissions because CDS says they don't consider demonstrated interest. I guess that's not true?

If an academically comparable Ivy (say, Penn/Cornell/Columbia) costs 90K a year, what would you pay for Michigan?

Not comparable but also look at the resources available per student. It is a large public university but priced like an Ivy without the benefits.

I'd say academically comparable but far from comparable from a resources available perspective. Have a kid at Michigan and an Ivy, so know this first hand.

Could you please elaborate. Very interested. This would be helpful to everyone. What is the resource difference that you see?

Not PP but the issues at large publics are extremely large classes, difficulty enrolling in required courses and courses of interest due to limited space, limited personal interaction with faculty, limited advising, the quality of housing and dining services, etc. The resources per student are much smaller and it can have a real impact such as having to delay graduation because of difficulty enrolling in courses and the challenges of getting to know faculty that write recommendation letters.

How large do the intro classes actually get?

They are limited by the largest lecture halls available. This course at Michigan has almost 1,000 students and isn’t even the largest. https://cse.engin.umich.edu/stories/eecs-280-becomes-third-largest-course-at-u-m

Since you’re comparing to Cornell, UMich isn’t the only university with large intro classes. Private university and classes sizes are still 900+ students.

How things have changed! My DD is applying with significantly higher qualifications than I had and just praying she makes it.

Omg, Same! I feel like 25% of my high school went to UofM. I had one sport and a 27 ACT.
