It's one thing to be "let into" MIchigan, it's entirely another to get out! That has to be earned in the classroom. The average kid non-athlete getting into that school has a 95-98 GPA and 2000+ sats.... If your kid is substantially below that, he will not survive academically.


Not true ... I have a son who was a 80-85 high school student w 1800s. He went to a top 25 school and is doing just fine. There is a lot of support at these schools, and it is a lot harder getting in to these places than staying there. Not to mention that some kids mature academically later in terms of effort, time management etc. Certainly something to think about, but it is nowhere near as extreme as your post implies.
Finally some sanity. I cant believe some nice schools like Mercy, Molloy and Pace are being compared to some of the top schools in the country. The other post was right look to Columbia, Fordham and Baruch if you wanta business school in the city
