<p>My daughter has 2 close friends who chose MSU after being accepted to both. Her gal friend has a sister there and didn’t like the feel of Michigan’s campus. I feel she was more influenced by having a sister already at MSU. Her guy friend got into a research/honors program so that was the deciding factor for him.
There were also a couple of liars (big Michigan fans) who said they got into both but picked MSU because it was cheaper…yeah right! U of M doesn’t care how big a fan you are, but they do care about how many AP classes you took, grade point, and ACT scores.</p>
