Another thing Mnozzi, you say you know many students with 25 ACT scores who got into Michigan. But they are truly a minority. Only 25% of students who enroll into Michigan have ACT composites below 27 (so wqe can safely assume that far fewer than 25% have ACT scores below 26 and you can be sure that the percentage drops far more when it comes to students admitted. Generally speaking, the students who get in with sub 27 ACT scores are URMs or athletes.

Michigan student body is very gifted. It may be easier for top students to get into Michigan than into smaller private schools, but the caliber of the students is not worse. If it were, Michigan would not place the same percentage of its students into top 10 graduate schools and exclusive companies as universities like Cornell, Chicago, Northwestern, Penn etc...
