Reply to UPenn had a 47% acceptance rate for the Class of '95, it's not that much of a flex to be a legacy.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back in my day (HS class of '90), Michigan OOS was a safety. They took literally everyone from my HS who applied, even kids with a 2.5.[/quote]

Finished high school in 1989 and this was not the case out our high school.  I was a public school kid in PA.  [/quote]

Also not true in 1985.  We had a really bright student who had graduated from our public Western PA HS come  to our school to talk to us about the Michigan Honors College.  At the time I remember being baffled that anyone would go so far away, but being impressed that this girl made a conscious choice.  But it was only six hours of highway.  I later ended up going to Michigan for grad school after a rigorous review of options.

Back then you wouldn't have gotten into PSU or Pitt main campuses with a 2.5.  Maybe a 3.2 or so would have gotten you a summer school admit or freshman year at a branch with transfer contingent on performance.

Below 3.0 was for schools with acceptance rates in the 80% range.
