<p>I also was accepted to the Plan II Program and initially deferred from Michigan. I was very happy about Plan II but Michigan has always been “the one”, so it hurt. Fortunately, I eventually got in. While UT Austin and Michigan are similar in that they’re both D1 Schools with Great sports and Academics, there’s just something that draws me to Michigan; the history and school spirit. I also like that there’s a higher percentage of out of state students, and I feel that there’s more prestige (although Plan II is amazing, most people simply don’t know about it).</p>
