[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UMich is difficult. My kid needed a lot of support figuring out a good track for a double major. A big public can be challenging with overcrowding and waitlists. [/quote]

My friend's with freshman kids at Michigan got not none of their course requests for this fall. One wants to be biology major and is in 3 history classes. The one  who wants data science is in nothing related at all.  It's not for lack of trying.

My own child is going to UVA and they do course registration during summer orientation while the parents are there.  It's hard not to get involved or at glossary care as a parent cause you see your kid 5 minutes later. And most kids are not getting their preferred classes either.  Mg kid wants to take biology (wants to be a  major) and all sections were full. Considering being pre-med but all sections of chemistry and calculus were full as well.  There will be spots that open at the add/drop time but it's a stressful way to start freshman year. [/quote]

If Michigan is like other state schools, over the summer as other kids decide to not attend, switch classes, etc. all of the class-level wait lists change and kids who got NONE of their first picks are the first ones to move up on the wait lists. Even at the largest universities the registrars have usually systems for making sure every student gets at least something that they want/need.  [/quote]
