[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Getting into the second tier schools like Mich really isn’t that hard. You just need the stats and scores. And you need to be strategic, know which regions and which schools the college likes the pull kids from. There are schools that have 3-4 kids accepted into Mich every year. This may not be where your HS sends kids. So figure out if they send kids to NYU or another school. [/quote]

I disagree. Michigan routinely denies valedictorians [/quote]
Sure, but many others are getting in. If you're a valedictorian at a half decent school, you can get into UMich. DP.[/quote]

You have to afford the neighborhood with the decent high school. No, it’s not easy to get into Michigan.

For the public magnets/gov schools such as TJ and others, Michigan is a "backup"/likely or at worst a match school for the entire top 10%, many of whom land at ivy/plus. From the perspective of those students, Michigan is "easy". UVA in state is also a backup/likely for top students at these schools. For some of these magnets you can live in below-average HHI/housing and test in to these high schools from many different areas/districts.[/quote]
