<p>I know schools like NYU and USC have serveral famous people as part of their student body. Are there any famous students at Michigan?</p>
<p>i know NYU has mary kate and ashley but these days they're more infamous than famous</p>
<p>who else does NYU have?</p>
<p>Michael Phelps, that's teh only person who pops up in my mind other than the football players.</p>
<p>well thats the alumni, not current students</p>
<p>I'm not sure about NYU i did know about the Olsen twins and i heard there were others but i know for USC tehy have people from the show the hills, betty on ugly betty, Zac Effron, Jesse McCartney and a lot of famous peoples children.</p>
<p>I'm pretty famous as a powerball winner last year ($128 million)</p>
<p>Whoa...impressive...</p>
<p>thank you thank you</p>
<p>current famous students?</p>
<p>michigan isn't an ivy league or stanford. natalie portman doesn't wanna come to michigan.. haha.</p>
<p>USC isnt either</p>
<p>USC is in southern california.... nuff said</p>
<p>okay... I didn't ask why aren't there any famous students, I asked if there are any. I guess there aren't.</p>
<p>two questions:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>What is your definition of famous?</p></li>
<li><p>Why does this matter when you look for a college?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>I think he/she was just curious.</p>
<p>For anyone whose done their research, UM has helped create a fair deal of famous people :-).</p>
<p>Famous people tend to go to one of the "big 5" minus MIT. Some will also attend Columbia, NYU, UCLA or USC because of their proximity to LA and NYC. However, you won't see many famous people attend other elites like Chicago, Cornell, Dartmouth, Duke, Michigan, Northwestern or Penn.</p>
<ol>
<li> My definition of famous would be that they are somewhat nationally recognized for something.</li>
<li> It has nothing to do with picking a school. I picked Michigan already and all I wanted to know is if there are any famous students at Michigan.</li>
</ol>
<p>Also I'v heard that after Derek Jeter is done playing he plans to finish getting his degree from hte University of Michigan. I know he began attending the school before he was famous but it would still be a famous person attending school there.</p>
<p>University of Spoiled Children. Lots of celebrity/entertainment industry offspring head there.</p>
<p>I dont really think it is just a school of rich kids anymore. They seem to have high academic requirements to get in.</p>
