[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're at a top private (like sidwell) Michigan routinely admits down to the 50%.  They definitely did this year and last year. [/quote]

So they have a relationship with the school they want to maintain?  And doesn't Sidwell provide an elite education?  Why do you keep bringing this up like it's embarrassing?  Do you think "average" kids at Sidwell are not very good after all?  If so, why did you pay for your kid associate with so many mediocre students?[/quote]

Don't think there's any special "relationship." Big colleges just have more spaces and can be more flexible with their admits. UMich also looks for wealthy OOS students, so elite prep schools tend to send a lot of students there. A college like Michigan can admit 30 students/year from a high school because of their size, but Ivies will cap out around 5-7 at elite prep schools, because they want to spread out their admits across the country.

Sidwell was in the top 300 schools for Michigan applications, or at least it was for fall 2019 when this article was written. So a feeder of sorts.

Though with 47 applicants, 16 admits, and 3 enrolls (for fall 2019) I'm struggling to see them dipping down to 50%, but who knows how things have changed since 2019.

Yeah, I don’t believe that poster either.  Michigan has gotten to be a pretty difficult admit even for full pay private school kids.  [/quote]

16 students from one high school is quite a lot. Also, considering that most elite prep school kids are applying to Michigan probably for business, engineering, pre-med, or CS, these admit rates (34% in Sidwell's case) are very high. [/quote]
