To rjkofnovi, GoBLue81 and Alexandre:

You all are to be commended for your commitment, you obviously have far greater patience than I do. With 9 days before he has to make a decision Echo’s lack of basic research (e.g., whether or not a Biz/Engineering double exists at Michigan and the entrance requirements for both or whether there is any Tech/Biz overlap in the Ross curriculum) makes me wonder why he applied to Michigan in the first place or whether he is simply a ■■■■■ pulling our collective legs.

Furthermore, on the one hand rankings are important to echo until you all point out Michigan’s (high) standing, when they suddenly become less of a factor. More than half of his complaints - size, location, admissions dept, and Ann Arbor not being Atlanta - are personal perceptions/reactions that can’t and shouldn’t be refuted as wrong. About the only useful question I can find in any of his posts would be “Is Michigan worth $20K more per year than GT?”; even that is a matter of personal finances and perception. From my perspective it’s clear the echo has decided on GT and is only looking to this forum to justify his position.
