How did the University of Michigan become such an academic powerhouse?

True story. Happens all the time in VA

Best friends DD got waitlisted for UVA but in to Michigan she had moved into the dorm at Michigan when they got the call. DD went outside to think about it -came back in and said “UVA” and they packed her and moved her to UVA. She was very very happy at UVA

Of course that would never happen to an instate student at Michigan. Nobody from Michigan would ever pay full freight to attend UVA.

Like UVA and VT. Where there are too similar options, one of them tends to rise above because successful people want to cluster together.

I really don’t think MSU and UofM are at all comparable

I tend to agree. Michigan is better in the vast majority of comparable disciplines. On the other hand, VT beats UVA in STEM.

Michigan has done well investing in future areas of growth. They were putting money into STEM before most schools.
They have grads doing things like cofounding Google, which doesn't hurt.

Congrats on your first football victory of the season. Very impressive.

You mean the win against the SLAC W&M?

the game between UMD and UVA was a blow out. 42 to 14. DS said they left the game early because it was so boring. UMD was crushing UVA.

I think UMD is going to get stronger for the same reasons.

And as more and more high achieving kids from UMC donut families get rejected from the elite schools, the state flagships are going to get stronger.

81 students are coming in from Michigan just for first-year class 2023. https://ira.virginia.edu/university-data-home/enrollment

MSU isn’t nationally known for anything. In Michigan they have a strong agricultural and veterinary medicine program..but that’s about it.

By raising the bar for in-state admission and over-admitting OOS students to boost revenue.

U Mich has the biggest endowment of any public university and they invest wisely.

U Mich AA has an astonishing array of research all in one campus while UC is spread over 10 campuses with some being much stronger in certain fields (eg Davis for vet science/ UCSB for physics/ etc)

Michigan is incredibly proud of its flagship and it shows in many ways.

I think California is also extremely proud of its U system.

Both systems are excellent engines for social mobility with emphasis on providing many opportunities for vets, first generation students and Hispanic/ minority students.

At my daughter’s highly ranked high NoVA HS, a Michigan admit is far more coveted than UVA.

Nevermind, I found it. The number is 22. That’s far from 81.
