[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, congrats to OP for being able to type so many words while in a straightjacket.

Second, I know there is a perception that the in-state students at Michigan & UNC are far inferior to OOS, but don’t get carried away with the contrast. I lived in Michigan for decades & I can assure you that only the top students from most high schools are applying to U of M. If you’re not a real standout, you know your place is at Michigan State or a directional. I’m not saying there isn’t a slight difference in quality between in-state & OOS, but it’s not like the in-staters are drooling idiots like some people claim.

I'm the 10:52 poster and appreciate the detail here. I just don't get why some posters - more than OP - come on here and basically charge that the in-state students are a weak, soft, and feral bunch. Just because the in-staters don't hail from the MoCo W high schools, Scarsdale, or Glen Ridge, doesn't mean they are charity admits. [/quote

+100 agree. the claim that in state students are not of the same caliber as OOS or a tip top private is lunacy. Also the assertion that the enrollment cliff is equivalent to a zero birth rate in Michigan and UVA so “how can they fill the class in the next two years?!” is just utterly moronic. [/quote]
