Ah, actually they didn’t have a better program. I think you need to read my post carefully. I said.
To me that would have to be top 5 in the nation. For what my kid applied for UMIchigan wasn’t in the top 5. I don’t think it’s worth it for our family. And I certainly wouldn’t pay a premium. YMMV.
UMIchigan is very good might be in the top tier in some things, even the best in something. We only checked the subjects our kid was interested in. Plus, you have no idea what other options our kid is weighing so how could you EVER know if something was worth an extra 100K to us???
