Either one will serve you well, once you decide, forget the other school exists. It sounds like you will be happy at either school, and happy student’s won’t think back to other colleges. As far as currently, I do admit that’s a hard situation, as you have a few months before you arrive. I would suggest focusing on rooming, classes, and just generally planning everything you can related to going to college. Immersing yourself in that activity will keep your mind off decisions you have already made.
My advice is to make the most out of every opportunity. That way, you hve the best experience possible. have you visite both?
University of Michigan is great. I have a few friends who were accepted this year by Caltech, Carnegie Mellon, MIT and Brown but chose to enroll at UMich.
Committed to UMichigan! Officially a Wolverine!
After 8 months of the grueling admissions process, one team stands in the Winner’s Circle. With a starting rank of #11, Michigan gave it all, beating teams such as Northeastern, Case Western Reserve, and Rutgers. Hail to the Victors and Go Blue!
I’ll write a summary of my thoughts on each of my applications when I have time.
Thanks for following and I hoped that you enjoyed the game!
Congratulations and thank you for bringing this story to a close which such great schools.
Update # 8
It’s time for a little update. School is coming to a close, and I still have no idea what I’m going to be doing this summer. If nothing pans out, I’ll probably work on website-building and creating my own company. My orientation at Michigan is on July 5th and AP scores come out July 6th so hopefully, my schedule is good fingers crossed. As for the upcoming school year, I’m pretty psyched. I’m already signed up for a few programs including Move-In Makers, that helps people move in (I’m in it, so I can meet people before the school year starts and build relationships), and Design Immersion, which sounds awesome. I also plan on joining a couple sports, but I don’t know which one yet. It includes Tennis, Table Tennis, Sailing, and Ultimate Frisbee. So far, I’m really excited, but really nervous and sad as I will be leaving to a place that is 11 hours away from home.
I’ll be back to post thoughts on my applications and my admissions process. My family has been talking about transferring to another top tier school like Stanford and Harvard after two years which may be a good financial option, but, right now, I want to focus on the present. By the way, I was not accepted a seat at CMU and WUSTL and I don’t really care anymore about them, so whatever.
Thanks for reading and stay tuned!
Update #9
I didn’t apply to that many scholarships, which I kinda regret, but after getting rejected so many times, I felt discouraged. Well, that changed. I just won a $10,000 outside scholarship! For privacy, I won’t reveal the name, but I feel good about the finances next year, but now, I feel that all of the grants that I got from Michigan will disappear. Hopefully, that won’t happen. I’m heading to orientation this weekend, and it should be a good time. I’ll let you know of my AP credit and my course selection.
Godspeed, Hawkacers!
@Hawkace I think merit scholarships decrease your need, so grants would decrease as well? Also, how’d it go? I was just there for a summer program; did you like the Bursley food lol
I’m not sure. I didn’t report my outside scholarship yet, but I will soon. The Bursley food is not bad but South Quad is the best and that’s where I’ll be staying this year.
Dang, you lucked out! I ate at MoJo one day and it was soooo good; Central Campus is the best. Have fun this year!
@itsmyusername Haha thanks! Are you a senior now?
Congrats @Hawkace !!
@skieurope Thanks! Good luck at Harvard! Any luck getting merit scholarships or is your FA amazing?
Yes, I’m a senior! About to enter the madhouse, as it were.
@Hawkace Let’s just say that my parents are quite happy at how the financials worked out.
That’s great. Good luck at Harvard! I know that you’ll do great things!
