[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Son got waitlisted. I'm not surprised, nor complaining, just here to show you that even kids who have strong credentials may not draw a lucky card.  Got in UVA, UCLA and Georgetown.

Val, rank 1/600, about a 4.7 michigan gpa due to all As and 13 APs.  Biology.  Had APs in Chem, Physics and Bio.  5s on 5 AP tests and 1 4 going into admissions round.  Really strong essays and very michigan specific.  OOS.  [b]Maybe problem for him was 1500 SAT?  If it had been 1540, would that have helped? [/b]

Was not his first choice anyway, so it's all good.  Gorgeous school, we were enchanted.  Go Blue! [/quote]

Michigan absolutely went for tippy top test scores above all else from SOME out-of-state kids. 
The DC kids i know who were admitted had very high scores: 1600, 1590, 36.  
The rest were waitlisted except for several to the school of Architecture who did not submit scores at all.  
My child was admitted to UNC, UVA, Berkeley and 2 top20 privates but not Michigan.  SAT of 1540. 
Interestingly, the Michigan admits with the high scores that I referred to above were waitlisted or denied at several of these other state schools and the top20 privates.
