Do you believe people when they say they got into Michigan but went to State instead?

<p>They never mentioned it on the tour, and I found out about it after being accepted to State. I looked into it, and like Romani said, it’s not an individual major, which doesn’t suit me well. It seems like a good program, though.</p>

<p>Yeah, that was DEFINITELY something that put me off as well. When we went around saying who was from where, the impression of the whole “NYC/Bay Area/-insert elite wealthy area here-” was definitely strong, with very few others like me. My family lives in the Washington/Romeo area, barely clearing 100k a year. I’m not saying that’s poor by any means, god no (it’s rather well off actually), but in comparison to the others…I felt like I was a pauper, hah. I definitely understood why people call it the “Ivy of the Midwest”, in terms of academics and people. </p>

<p>Do I feel like I got a proper representation of UMich at my tour? No. But do I still feel like State’s the right school for me, barring the lack of a city environment? Yes.</p>
