[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some Michigan booster here is always trying to pretend Michigan is tougher to get into than it is. Are you related to the UVA booster. They both are state schools- nothing more nor less.[/quote]

DP and first time on thread.

UMich actually does have some programs that are harder to get into than Ivy programs for post grad in certain fields. The one our DD was accepted into only accepted 4% of applicants. Admissions seemed more predictable according to GPA and numbers of publications rather than random holistic criteria which no one can predict.

However, selectivity is not what makes it a great school. It is a very well run public research university with wonderful career expanding opportunities located in a charming small city with strong health services, competitive college sports, boutique restaurants, book stores  and local pride. People in Ann Arbor act friendly and pleasant to each other.

I can see why it is popular with many ambitious young people. [/quote]
