<p>Because I only apply to universities in which I’m willing to attend, ones in which I have interest in attending. University of Michigan was the only in-state school, as for Michigan State University it once was on my list before also but I discovered it being 10mins from home etc… I rather not attend, but the school is also really great.</p>

Thank you. What were the specific characteristics of Central, Eastern, Western, and GVSU that made them unappealing (I want to know what to avoid when making recommendations)?</p>

Your situation is difficult. Most high-ranking schools are either too exclusive or too expensive, and I recommend broadening your horizons.</p>
