[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In general, the UMich kids I know of are great but not at the level academically of the T20 kids at my DC’s private.  Don’t Get me wrong, they are excellent students, but not in the most rigorous classes etc.

This is inaccurate. Top privates send top students to Michigan every year. This year across the board all top popular universities are reporting receiving 20% more applications than ever before. Admissions rates have dropped dramatically at the popular colleges. Schools like USC, Michigan, UVA etc now have single digit acceptance rates. USC admissions rate is 6% this year. Out of state Michigan and UVA are also record low admission rates. The common app and TO has really encouraged anyone and everyone to apply and applications have skyrocketed at the popular top schools.[/quote]

These both can be true.  There are many schools with lots of applications that put the school at a single digit admit rate.  But also at a DC private, the very top kids choosing to apply elsewhere. The kids applying/attending Michigan are qualified, great kids but perhaps not the very top of the class, who tend to apply to T20 (which doesn’t mean the Michigan kids aren’t smart kids who will be highly successful).
