Hey, I agree with you there smart.cookie. I did TASP and while at first I thought of Michigan as a “safety”, when I ended up visiting, I loved it so much, now I’m going.

Just make sure you invest just as much effort into your Michigan application as you did your TASP application as well as your reach schools. Even though you will likely get into the school itself in any case, the Shipman selection process is a lot more difficult. Also, it may help to retake your test scores (I don’t know what they are) if they aren’t absolutely top notch. At schools with a lot of applicants like Michigan, high scores make you stand out that much more for scholarship committees.

Also, if you want the best scholarships, you need to apply as early as possible. This is probably the most important advice. Apply in September.

Good luck, Tasper :)
