[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it speaks so highly of Barack & Michelle as parents that, given the pressure those kids must have felt growing up, Sasha is still confident enough in herself and knows herself well enough to make this 'unconventional' choice. I obviously can't say why U Michigan is a better choice for her but, given that she must have had every college in the world to choose from, I'm sure she had her reasons. I am impressed that she is able to prioritize something about rankings and prestige, and impressed that Barack and Michelle are supportive of that. [/quote]

But Michigan is one of the worst schools in the country. As mentioned by others it's ranked #27. It's like if Serena Williams were playing at nursery tennis and not at the US Open[/quote]

I don't think you know what "worst" means.  Michigan is ranked #27 nationally. There are 4,298 institutions in the US that grant a bachelor's degree.  27/4298 puts Michigan into the top 1% of institutions in the US.

It's more like Serena Williams playing the Australian Open, instead of Wimbledon.  [/quote]
