[quote=Anonymous]Back in my day, Michigan was way easier to get into.  I sent in my application and got my acceptance packet a week or two later.  I turned down Ivy (not HYP) to attend Michigan but it was pretty clear on my arrival that the majority of the student body was not Ivy material.  However, the majority of the Honors Program probably was.

I was a little worried that my kids wouldn't make the cut. Many of my Michigan friends' kids have ended up at colleges like Minnesota or Wisconsin or Indiana because Michigan has become such a tough nut to crack.  But my kids all decided not to apply to Michigan.  They all thought it was just too big.  Not even the Residential College seemed small enough for them.  Since they all have closets full of maize and blue clothing and even learned to fall asleep in their cribs to the soothing sound of "Hail to the Victors," this was disappointing.

Now I'm a SLAC parent.  That has its benefits.  I loved Michigan but it really is very big.  [/quote]
