[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]

This, and the comments about UCLA, make me very happy we paid for T10 private. They open more sections if they fill. Just like back in the 90s when I went to a different one. No premeds or prelaw or pre anything were shut out or doomed to a 5th yr or summer session. Even in state UVA is 45-55k depending on College or Engineering. Thats  unacceptable [/quote]
