[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]3.91 GPA, 1510 SAT, 11 AP 5s, In-state, president of key club. Child got flat out rejected from LSA today. We're currently distraught.[/quote]

I'm sorry.  Are you my anonymous Grosse Pointe buddy?

How about MSU Honors College/Pitt (my undergrad)/Indiana then transfer if not happy?

Our backup plan was Dearborn then transfer.  The campus actually has decent amenities. I realize your kid is overqualified.

When I was an MBA, my BBA mentee was a transfer in to A2 at the sophomore mark.

Don't rule it out.  Plus there's always grad school.[/quote]

Anonymous Grosse Pointe buddy here! (Unless there is more than one of us…). That’s not me, not our time yet. But I’m SO curious what the stats are for our high school. Certainly a lot of kids always go to Michigan, but now how many did ED and what was the acceptance rate??? Hope to find out because it will have a ripple effect for a long time. [/quote]

There are probably about 3-4 posters from Detroit Metro with kids already at Michigan who pop in.  And I think 2 from Grosse Pointe.  I live in Woodward Dream Cruise Land, a few miles north of Eminem's favorite road.  Of course I have no idea if the others are still here.  But it's funny when people know that the governor went to MSU and where the best restaurants are in A2.

Naviance looked pretty reliable for our public in-state high school for Class of 24.  3.8 unweighted is a bright line cutoff (most of these would be top 10-15% of class with APs and IB classes).  We don't have reliably large numbers of AP classes and only 2 full year AP credits available to 9th & 10th graders.  Also, although IB English, History and Language are popular, few students are pursuing the IB diploma.  Most of our kids go LSA. A few Engineers.  [/quote]

Now I need to know who the other Grosse Pointe poster is! LOL We have a lot of AP classes, you only get the weighted grade if you take the exam, nothing else is weighted. No APs for 9th and unless you are accelerated for math I believe only 1 AP for 10th. But it's the AP wild west come 11th and 12th. Obviously Michigan is very familiar with the school. I haven't seen anyone share that their child was accepted yet, but I don't know a ton a 12th grade families.
