Just watching this thread in awe of how competitive it’s gotten.

DH went to Michigan (class of 2007). He’s from Ann Arbor and wonders if he would’ve gotten in today. 3.99 unweighted GPA and ACT score of 35. (I’m not insane — I only know this because I was literally telling him about this thread 5 min ago). Great violist, but didn’t win national competitions or anything.

I know he’d love for DD to eventually go to Michigan (as would I). She’s only 4 so when she’s 18, god knows what it’ll take ... curing cancer?

Wow. You're sharing your 36 year old husband's high school stats? Yea, you are insane . . .

Like I said, we literally were having this convo today. You’re telling me you’ve never talked about how much more competitive admissions is now for the school you went to?

Sure, maybe. But you're posting your husband's high school stats to the decimal point -- even making a point of telling us that his 3.99 GPA was unweighted! -- and talking about where you want your FOUR YEAR OLD to go to college. That's over the top, even for DCUM.

I want to hear more about the 2 students from big 3s on this thread who had 4.0 and 3.99 and were deferred - other dcum threads say those gpa’s are near impossible from big 3s and yet other thread say a good portion of the seniors at big 3s head to ivies or equivalents. Just wondering if all are reporting honest stats.

Anyone, or know of anyone, accepted with merit offer?

Goodness, I just thought you were making light conversation. No big deal. My kid was anxiously awaiting results yesterday, so from someone who definitely had a vested interest in this thread, I welcome your participation.

NP. You're the one who is taking it "over the top," PP, not the person you're responding to.

I read her post and agreed with her and then you came in with a throw down because ... I dunno ... you have mental problems and you're threatened by adult conversation!?! It is reasonable to know your spouse's academics stats just like it is reasonable that, if you liked your school, you would hope that your child can go there some day.

So go away and play with the kids. When you're mature enough to converse appropriately then come back.

Just stop it. She even prefaced talking about the stats acknowledging that it wouldn't be normal to know. This is a completely normal post in awe of how competitive it's gotten. This isn't some over the top situation, why do you want to turn it into one? Back off.

I totally agree with this post and that's why it's hard to tell what is really going on with selective admissions. In some ways it just really doesn't make sense.

Sorry, but it's weird to know your spouse's "academic stats" to the letter. My spouse and I both have graduate degrees. We couldn't tell you each other's high school, college, or grad school GPAs or any of our test scores if you put guns to our heads. This poster only knows her husband's because he's still fixated on them after 15 years. That, too, is weird.

DP. No, sorry. If my husband was reading this thread on his phone in bed and turned to me and said, what was your high school GPA and SAT (which is what she preemptively said happened), I would respond, 98 and 1380. I got a 3.48 undergrad and approximately a 3.75 in grad school. It is only natural to wonder what your young children can achieve one day and what it will take. She's not weird, but you're obsession with making her seem like she is, is.

And you know what, I'm obsessed with calling you out because being mean and insulting for no reason when it's completely uncalled for makes this board less helpful and the world a less kind place. It ticks me off and I don't like it.

If I turned to my husband in the middle of the night and said what was your high school GPA he'd say "I have no friggin' idea."

Look, I get it. It's a common refrain to say "there's no way I'd get into my college today" but it's another to say "I had a 3.99 GPA and a 35 ACT and there's no way I would." Because yes, you would. So, it's weird, yes.

DP. Nope, what is weird is to be so fixated on criticizing someone's contribution and what they remember about their lives. I'm glad so many other posters have come out to try to put a stop to the mean DCUM vibe.
