[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][img][quote=Anonymous]Lots of admits from NY and Chicago private high schools....strong feeders.

Sometimes 20% of the private school class.[/quote]

Agreed. 4 kids in from one nyc priv alone[/quote]

I think our local private went 0-40. [/quote]

lots of us outside DC on here. 
michigan has known feeder schools in both new york and chicago (i mean they have admitted students' days JUST for Chicago high school kids in Ann Arbor!!)

I have relatives at several privates in both cities. at one (Chicago), reportedly 15-16 kids got in (class size is under 100). at one in NYC, reportedly 12 got in. and yes, we are all texting non-stop about this.[/quote]

[b]Those schools probably have a good track record of actually attending UMich.[/b] Michigan is in that tier of schools that is tired of being dumped by anybody who gets a wink from East Coast privates, so if your school's accepted students tend to do that, you can expect to have a harder time being acccepted there.[/quote]

this is 100% true. 
If your kids (or others at their school) are using U-Mich as a backup, they know and won't get in. Aside: this is why your school's data is more important than anything else anyone EVER says here.

I have heard they like the early applications (not submitted on Oct 31) and on-campus visits and truly personalized essays - it's why they give you so much room to write an essay. 
It should be a love letter to Michigan (not a list of classes and professors etc).[/quote]
