<p>1/2) I agree with everything you said. However, I think you are obsessing over absolute numbers when I was addressing a statistic that is a percentage, or relative. UM is a phenomenal school and if I had to choose to go to UM again or Cornell, I would choose UM in a heartbeat. However, it doesn’t change the fact that there is a higher percentage of “less qualified” students at UM and a lower percentage of “smart” people at UM in comparison to Ivy League schools, such as Cornell, using your metric.</p>
<p>3) I don’t think that statistic should be relevant, but the OP brought it up, so I addressed it.</p>
