@sbdad12 You’re correct, for the record, my association with the school is 2 years. My kid just finished her sophomore year last night at 9 PM. But your criticism of UMich and it’s OOS financial aid, at least to me, is becoming overly redundant. As they say, it’s a free country.
UNC and UT have higher OOS selectivity than UMich, because they severely limit OOS admissions, which UMich doesn’t. And UMich is ranked higher than all of them: Whisky, UNC and Texas.
Also, UMich gets very little money from the State of Michigan. So, any possible cuts from the legislature would not hurt UMich in nearly the same way as what has happened to Wisconsin. In fact Wisconsin’s rank has fallen and UMich has risen. If you read that article I linked, Wisconsin departments are having a tough time. I think they mentioned the history department going downhill, as an example.
I also googled funding cuts to UMich and found nothing, but if the State is reducing the small amount of funding, below the inflation rate, I highly doubt it will have any impact on UMich.
It’s totally fine to be upset at your school. Please proceed. ?
