[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our HS saw an unusually large group going to U Mich Ann Arbor.  More than ever in the past.  And, the kids in our neighborhood all have Michigan sweatshirts.

Its a great school, but statistically crazy how many in my immediate area half-way across the country are going there.[/quote]

Yes. Michigan is the new target for high stats kids who want CS or engineering and would have targeted Ivies - especially Cornell - but have been shutout due to the test-optional shift. It’s also a fallback for Virginians who don’t get into UVA’s CS or engineering. Michigan may have a somewhat better CS and engineering program, but many (probably most) would take UVA for in-state tuition and proximity to home. However, UVA is half the size of Michigan and doesn’t have enough CS/Engineering seats, so students go to Michigan for more than twice the cost, which makes Michiganders very happy.  [/quote]

Many would take Virginia Tech over UVA for engineering and CS.  Students go to private schools too for-more than twice the cost of UVA and most of those schools aren’t as good as Michigan for engineering and CS either. You have no point other than UVA needs to upgrade its STEM education.  [/quote]
