[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I knew Michigan had gotten competitive but had no idea it was so tough to get in from MoCo.  Looks like 1 out of every 6.3 applicants from the listed high schools got in.   It's DC's top choice but odds are not looking good.   DC likes Wisconsin/Madison also and those odds seem much better.

Tips from anyone on what Michigan looks for in a student (besides good grades and scores of course)? [/quote]

Michigan is weird.   In my kid’s school they turned down the kids who were accepted to Harvard, Columbia and UChicago, but accepted the kids who were just a notch below them.    FWIW, my kid was one of those turned down by U of Michigan (got into one of the other schools I mentioned).   Excellent stats and ECs, full pay AND spent a summer at a camp on campus and kept corresponding with one of the professors involved with that camp, wanted to attend because of him.   If that’s not a demonstrated interest, I don’t know what is.   I absolutely believe that they yield protect.[/quote]

Eh, my DD got into Columbia and Michigan and her best friend got into Dartmouth and Michigan. Admissions decisions can be unpredictable.[/quote]
