I hate this attitude. It’s the reason kids with 1500+ SATs scores struggle to get admitted to college. Michigan has been rejecting lots of top-notch kids. Admitting more top-notch kids won’t hurt their academic reputation. And frankly people who think colleges should be nothing more than country clubs, defined more by the people they exclude than the people they educate, will always and forever look down on Michigan for being a state school.

+1. My 3.98/1560 kid was waitlisted and not admitted to Michigan this past year. Now, there are reasons (applied RD, which was a mistake) but whatever Michigan's yield algorithm is, it did not detect that he would have attended. He is attending a more highly-ranked school instead, a mid size private also off the waitlist, but if he had been admitted to Michigan in RD, he would have committed and would not have made the switch to the other school in summer. While he landed in a great place obviously, I think Michigan was more his vibe and he didn't realize that until late in the game. Michigan's loss.[/quote]
