<p>You know you could have just moved your first post up by posting a comment to it instead of creating a second.</p>

<p>And since the thread moderator already answered your question with explicit time and care, I’m on the brink of nominating you for a PITA aware :wink: :</p>

<p>I think you may have a decent chance because Michigan states that they put emphasis on legacies. Though if this was Illinois that would not be so as the school does not, one user on cc was a legacy of the school for many generations and was rejected with good stats.</p>
