BC v. Mich

<p>What is harder to get into Boston College or U Mich Ann Arbor out of state?</p>

<p>UMich hands down. i have OOS friends who got into georgetown, northwestern, uchicago, nyu stern, etc who did not get into umich. the key is to apply EARLY when you're out of state- that gives you a huge boost.</p>

<p>I wouldn't say "hands down." It's certainly debatable. I know of similar cases of the opposite.</p>

<p>They're very similar. US News ranks BC 29th in student selectivity and Michigan 23rd. </p>

<p>School - SAT/Acceptance Rate/Top 10%
Michigan - 1220 - 1420/50%/92%
Boston C - 1240 - 1420/27%/80%</p>

<p>I'd say Michigan. When I was applying, I got into the honors program at Boston College, but I was waitlisted at Michigan (eventually got in though). I've noticed a similar trend with other people.</p>

<p>I'd have to say Michigan...For the same reason as Squadron...</p>

<p>A girl in my class got into Georgetown, Stern, Carnegie with lots of cash, but not at Michigan.</p>

<p>

There are always extremes. I was rejected from Stern and CMU and got into Michigan. Doesn't say much for either argument.</p>

<p>In terms of selectivity, very generally speaking, I would say Michigan OOS > BC > Michigan In-State</p>

<p>But it depends on many factors.</p>
