[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Most of America" hasn't heard of many of these elite schools and doesn't care. But I know to many UMC people those people don't count.[/quote]

It’s very important for them to believe that they were in competition with every valedictorian from every high school across America, because that’s what makes their T20 admission so impressive. UMC people don’t want to accept that they were only competing with themselves. Oh, and also, the kids from my high school that had 99th percentile ACTs didn’t have any prep classes. Because there weren’t any. They were just that smart. But they still only applied to Flagship U. [/quote]
A classmate of mine in Rochester Hills, Michigan, turned down MIT to go to engineering school at U of Michigan. His family was middle class, and would have had to take out loans for him to go. They had two younger kids, as well, so they wanted to be able to afford to send all three kids to college. This is a pretty common story around the country. [/quote]

Yes, so so true. [/quote]
