Colleges like Harvard but are less competitive (and may be less prestigious)?

<p>Entertainer, I have been to UMichigan twice as I have a kid of my own who applied there. I also have a niece who is a rising junior there and a nephew who got in but has chosen to matriculate at another school this fall. Great school by the way. However, I don’t see how you can compare Ann Arbor to NYC and say they are alike except that Ann Arbor is smaller. They are NOTHING alike in my opinion! I also have a kid who went to college in NYC. Ann Arbor is a great college town for sure though.</p>
