[li] Gender: Male[/li][/ul]General Comments: Michigan was one of my target schools so I’m psyched. Congratulations to all who got in, and for those who met with bad luck this time around, know that college applications are far from over and use this as an opportunity for your other applications to grow. Best of luck, everyone! [:</p>
<p>Also, to the kids who were unfortunately deferred, know that Michigan has a 40% yield rate, so statistically, the chances of you moving up on the waitlist are higher than for other colleges :D</p>
<p>@Shady4pres I’d have a better chance of killing Smaug than getting accepted into this school, but hey, if Bilbo can overcome his fear of adventures, who the hell knows anymore?</p>
