[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would anyone use their ED card at Michigan instead of northwestern or Cornell?[/quote]

Maybe because it’s their top choice or perhaps the other two weren’t appealing.  Just a thought. [/quote]

Can’t speak to Northwestern, but Cornell and UMich are definitely different atmospheres. Have done admitted student days at both., the vibe Cornell gives off is that of a “grinder” school. UMich gives off more of a rah-rah, work hard/play hard culture. Both DCs were not interested in Cornell after the visits.[/quote]

I went to Michigan undergrad and Cornell for grad school. Ann Arbor is just a much better city. The campus is integrated into the city and it's just much easier to get around, especially during the winter (Cornell is very hilly and it's a pain to get to campus if you're in of campus housing). Separately, having taken high level math classes at both schools, there wasn't a discernible difference in student intellect (the lower performing Michigan students get weeded out quickly and don't pursue the harder majors/classes).[/quote]
