[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]

When I was in high school in the late 1980's, we heard that 80 percent of the applicants to Stanford were valedictorians. (I.e., don't bother applying if you're not one.) But at the time, Michigan was a top public university but not a place you needed to be a valedictorian with a 1400 SAT to get into. The competitiveness that used to exist just for the top 10 universities and the top 10 colleges has moved down the whole top 25 of each. I used to think of places like Davidson and Hamilton as safeties for people that couldn't get into Williams or Amherst, now you need top scores to get into them.
