[quote=Anonymous]At my DD's school, Michigan is seen so far above Wisconsin that Wisconsin is seen as a safety school. My DD applied to both and was deferred by Michigan and accepted by Wisconsin. I think it's amazing she was accepted by the school. I know people who went there and adored it and was very excited for her.

She was happy at first, but then fell into that, "but I'm a loser, I didn't get into Michigan" mindset that the student culture at her school perpetuates. I suspect it is because there are a lot of legacies.

She is definitely not getting this perspective from home. And honestly I think she would like Madison better than Ann Arbor in terms of college towns, and this is something she said is important to her. We didn't get to visit school before Covid.

I think she will end up at Wisconsin given her "checklist" and once she's there, I think she'll love it. It never occurred to me to worry about being out of state. The friends I mentioned were OOS students and it didn't factor into their experience at all, with the exception that sometimes their friends wanted to come home with them to hang out in NYC.
