Stanford or Michigan?

IMHO you only get one shot at this, and you should take your best shot at Stanford. In my mind, there is Stanford at the top and then the second level niche for top academic and athletic mix (Ivys, Michigan, Vanderbilt, UCLA, Virginia, Northwestern, Duke, etc…). If it were me or my son, I would take any shot I could get at Stanford and then deal with any fall out later. If both schools are recruiting you heavily as top recruits, it probably won’t be that hard to find another similar school should Michigan fall through. Being a top recruit should help you sleep better.
