[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To in-state private school families, it generally goes like this below. Many families with high stat kids choose private tier 2s over huge Michigan for undergrad studies. Paying out-of-state tuition at Indiana is a way to flaunt your family money over sending your average stats kid to Michigan State.

Tier 1: Notre Dame, Northwestern, Duke, USC, Ivies
Tier 2: Michigan, Kalamazoo, Hillsdale, Albion
Tier 3: Indiana, Hope, Miami-OH, Dayton, Loyola-Chicago
Tier 4: Michigan State, U of Detroit-Mercy
Tier 5: the rest, as all the rest are basically open admit[/quote]

You can split hairs, but the list is pretty accurate -- especially to UMC, private and Catholic school families. But I can see how it may offend myopic public school lifers who largely only entertain tailgate states.[/quote]
Lol. Go look at the college matriculation at Country Day or Cranbrook. Not too many kids heading to Hillsdale or Albion or Detroit Mercy LMAO[/quote]

Are you saying LACs with a freshman class size of <500 are less prominent than UM and MSU, which have a class size of 7,000 and 10,000 respectively? No way! Add in Detroit Catholic Central, U of D Jesuit and Notre Dame Prep college matriculation lists and see how it shakes out.

University of Michigan is terrific for engineering and MSU is terrific for binge drinking halfwits. If your child plans to study anything else and don't want them to become an alcoholic or drug addict and don't believe rah-rah sports obsession is the focal point of higher ed, you send them to out-of-state private or an in-state LAC.[/quote]

I lived my whole life in Michigan and went to a Catholic high school. It was generally viewed as Michigan being easy to get into - a big old state school that gets its reputation from terrific graduate programs and ask a bunch of OOS undergraduate students and their families to pay for those great graduate program.[/quote]
