How hard is it to get into UMich?

Isn’t acceptance to the business school 2-tiered? You get accepted to the LSA and then wait to hear if you are also accepted into Ross?

Gonzaga?

Much easier for private school kids from this area to get in than public. I have never gotten the allure. There are other good public universities between here and there. Michigan winters are brutal.

Between here and there? Like what? Penn state? Lol.

Looking at Scattergrams, I see little rhyme or reason as to who gets in or not. I told my kid to apply if they want but have no expectations.

Southeast Michigan winters are not balmy, but hardly “brutal.”

Are you from NC or south? Perhaps in the early 2000s Michigan winters “brutal” - not so much these days. It’s absurd when folks cite the weather as the key factor in choice. A majority of the top schools are north.

They are horrible.

Let me guess, you are one of those people freaking out over the lack of air conditioning at some New England colleges.

Huh? I wasn’t talking about the weather at all. And I’m from Buffalo.

We have had way more kids get accepted to UMich than UVA or Georgetown. This is my anecdotal evidence from a close-in VA neighborhood.

OP here. I have 2 kids. One kid just said he wants to go to UMich. He is my younger son. My older son wants to go to UVA or Georgetown.

Yes

Needing close to Ivy level stats is the correct answer-and they value high test scores too.

If people are willing to head to Cambridge, New Haven, Hanover and Ithaca, they can certainly handle Ann Arbor. Back in my day, the quintessential college experience included a winter wonderland.

That’s not true. If you look at the analysis that a pp posted Jackson Reed sent the most students in the DMV.
