今天看到一个英文论坛里的 My kid deferred from Michigan. Straight As (couple of A minuses) and high rigor from a grade deflating private, 1550, 5's on all APs, captain of 2 sports, head of multiple clubs (the big name ones), paid internship at a fortune 500 company (applied for on their own), summer food service job for 2 summers, leadership at church, academic awards, etc. This kid worked so bloody hard for 4 years--struggled through top math and science classes. There was one kid admitted from their school to Michigan and they had worse grades, minimal rigor, no school leadership at all. I don't know what is going wrong. So far deferred from top20 ED, Texas, USC, Michigan, and UNC (waitlisted). Only admit is Clemson. This is really hard. We're feeling like the kid may end up at Clemson. Which is not the end of the world but in retrospect they should have taken gen ed classes and relaxed.

umich第二年转校录容易很多
外州肯定不合算，花私校的钱读公校，除非没好的地方去
第二年转校录是指第一年在别的大学，然后申请umich的transfer？
对的
外州UCB比Umich难录多了吧。UMich工程又比UIUC难录不少。
密西根要求提前几年就要搬过去，不是说娃上大学那年才过去就行的
我靠，这么坑！完全没有性价比了。
CS相反，UIUC比UMich难录不少
认真的吗？安娜堡那个地方 冬天零下三十几度 穿着加拿大鹅感觉都要被冻s，暴露的皮肤都是撕裂疼 住了几年的表示 那一带大概是美国气候最差的地方了 根本不适合人类居住
这要是付州外学费肯定被华人diss，华人upenn的护士都看不上
不是看不上，是觉得没必要，很多护士都是菲律宾来的，本土毕业的也就是社大毕业，没见过好学校的
Community college毕业的是护工，和护士不一样的
非常香非常热门的专业
不是，是真正的nurse，不是伺候人的护工😀身边好多半路度的都这种，哪有去读护工的啊…
美国大学的录取越来越玄学，AO们是不是只看GPA，不看修的课的难度？
还真不是护工，community college的护士项目两年读完考过RN就是护士。 因为学费比大学低很多，有些州低收入还可以免费读，向来是香饽饽，招生一直都有waiting list的。学生资质比其他项目的高一截。
yield protection? 或者是一个说了需要financial aid, 另一个说了不需要？
大多数学校录取不是从所有申请者里面选最好的，因为地区和学区的教学差异，没有办法，全国范围择优录取。类似国内高考也不是全国统一录取，而是各省录取。
所以申请人按照高中所在地区分组给不同招生人员，因此申请人大概率是和同一个高中以及附近高中的申请人竞争。但是好的高中录取名额多。
这是某大学的招生介绍会有人问的时候说的。一定意义上是高中里面学生互相卷。

这个rd应该是会进个top20的私立.
本科读nursing 算premed, 以后会上医学院。
加州的？um 就这样，知道牛蛙会被top UC录，所以一般都defer
如果很优秀但是被这么多学校defer，申请材料是不是有问题？私立高中不应该啊。
最差不至于，别忘了还有明州双子城大学，那儿比安娜堡还冷。不过UMich确实是牛校里冬天气候最恶劣的地方了😂
都是自费。优秀的孩子SAT 1590，AP 10 多门AP课都是 5分，但有一两门B+ （历史）；普通的孩子 AP只有5门，只有一个5分，SAT才1510。同一地区不同学校。
不是，都看. 你不了解这个一般的孩子.
推荐信出问题或者报了热门专业. 美国大学招人挺准的. 不用太抱怨.
不会，nursing基本锁死了，当然也有例外，但概率很小.
你的意思是很优秀的娃GPA没有那个一般的娃的GPA好？
重看GPA对华人娃是好事。
私校推荐信肯定很强的，还有 school counselor 把关。除了 yield protection，不知道有什么别的原因。
是的，UMich学费贵，录了怕你不来，所以有些学习略差的反而更容易被录取，因为知道你没好学校去
不好说，看种族看专业吧，如果是亚男申请CS真可能一个T20都没有
+1 我们学校去年有一个类似的，也是early不理想，但是RD拿了很多不错的offer，最后去了一个藤
最无聊的就是你这种，张嘴就来。 知道-30 摄氏度是多冷吗？
以后当半个医生用
医生是博士，护士如何和能医生一样？
记得那里冬天umichi 大学生还会裸跑？不会冻死人吗？
你忘了芝加哥的大学。
芝加哥的芝大和西北比Umich强多了，不存在天气的考虑
一看就知道你没去过或在安娜堡住过
Umich早就发榜？不可能吧, 都是昨天统一早申的发榜
我住过
我可绝对不会让孩子再去那里了
对，今年草地都还是绿的。也就前几天很冷，那几天德州都下雪。
有可能申请的不同学院？umich的lsa相对容易进多了，engineering school就难一些，cs是单独招生，更难进。
这个纯属以讹传讹
UC Berkeley全方位吊打UMich吧，你要是嫌州外学费贵另说
只是对密州学生贵, 同样是外州ucb还便宜。umich 拿不到本州学费没意义，本州大说得过去就不要考虑了。
虽然这么说，还是一堆东西两岸的去Umich，没钱的其他州很少去。
牛校里冬天气候最恶劣至少得有5，6个学校并列第一，Yale 冬天下大雪一次能下一米多深，下冻雨很常见，车要是露天趴着，早上要先砸一层厚冰壳子；Boston 那两校也差不多。
没有更好的选择而且出得起钱的可能去，有差不多或者更好的一般不去，去年我们高中那几个EA的都去了藤S和加州
都是一样贵，UCB学费便宜一万多，但住宿和生活费肯定比UM贵的，在加上治安，还是很多非CS人选UM的。听说UCB据说是对本科生最不友好的，基本没人管，选课都很难，是这样吗？UM会不会好点？
UMich体育很强，冰球，篮球，橄榄球都很牛。很多男孩喜欢这个。
没什么不好的，可以修premed的课将来申请医学院，可以去都PA，可以读master出来做麻醉护士或者nurse practitioner，总之也算是进可攻，退可守，将来不会没饭吃
本科大公校基本都差不多，加州生活费贵学费贵我能理解，但底特律为什么学费更贵我就不理解了，不过我们也没申请，也不想研究为什么这样。以前孩子朋友有去umich honor college, 学费减免交本州学费，而且确实是他录的最好的。通常申umich 也申ucb la, rice Emory cmu这些，反正就是个申请费而已
ucb吊打个球，一门破课千人上，GPA给的巨低，课程质量低劣, 对本科生教育那叫一个差。
ucb对本科生这么差，也就是加州和近硅谷的光环而已
