<p>NYao, </p>

<p>Seriously, what's the issue here? I just read a sampling of your posts. It is rare to see someone with such an obsessive hatred of an academic institution. Today is not even over and you've clocked in 9 negative posts against UM. I have no idea how a school has hurt your feelings so much, but really, get over it. You should move on. I don't want to be mean, but go out, make some friends, get a girlfriend or boyfriend. Don't you find it sad that your life consists of posting 9+ times a day, railing against a school? </p>

<p>If many other posters find you helpful, I'll just shut up. That's what the board is for--informative viewpoints. But it strikes me that your posts aren't made in that spirit. Rather, they seem to quench some bitter emotional angst that you carry against the school.</p>

<p>Here's just a sampling of your posts (my comments in brackets):</p>

<p>"its not really surprising, another person from my high school the year i graduated, who only had a 520 on the verbal SAT got into honors at Michigan, i don't know how she's doing in honors because she couldn't speak english well."
[this last statement is non-sequitur in reasoning; it exposes your need to include negative statements even when it does not fit w/ the statement you are making.]</p>

<p>"another michigan "honors" student who got rejected from even a TTT like Tufts, and still waiting for Middlebury decision....."</p>

<p>"it doesn't separate you, u get to live in south quad with honors students, but the honors program at umich is pretty stupid, there is no special treatment."
[nyao, were you even in the honors program? you seem to sound pretty confident here.]</p>

<p>"goto wash u. name recognition, smaller department, seems like a school n the rise. if u want to go party every weekend, wake up in your own puke and study hard, michigan is your college."</p>

<p>"its a bad idea to think u'll get in ross, a lot of people have ruined their college careers this way. and the program is competitive, u need good grades to get good jobs. goto a lesser school if u have the option."
["ruined"?? wow, hyperbole much? i can't believe you're advising this person to go to a lesser school because his career will be "ruined" if he doesn't get into Ross]</p>

<p>I posted this here so others could chime in. If many other posters find your posts helpful in their decisions, then I'm wrong and you're right. It's my opinion that you clearly have a personal hatred of Michigan, and it seems more likely than not that you are unrepresentative of the typical UM experience and that you are misleading others who look for info on these boards.</p>

<p>He's just a loser who has no friends.</p>

<p>i dont think a new thread was neccessary.</p>

<p>I said this before as well....everything he says has to be negative. I really think that he wanted to get into UMich and didn't and is lying to everyone on here. It was his dream school and he got rejected and it's burning him inside.</p>

<p>NYao has posted 90 times on this forum. Of those, I'd say 85 were highly negative about Michigan and 5 were mildly negative or neutral.</p>

<p>I actually think he is a student at Michigan who was forced into going there. Either that, or he came to Michigan with stratospheric expectations that no university could match and has since had a rude awekening. Finally, he is probably struggling academically and lashing out. Either way, he is clearly very bitter about being here.</p>

<p>For better or worse, NYao does represent a reality at Michigan (and any university for that matter). He is not in the majority to be sure, but there are many students who unfortunately feel the way he does in every major university campus. I say unfortunately because one's university experience should be fun and special. We all deserve that experience. I hope he finds what he is looking for.</p>

<p>There are students like NYao at every school that hate where they're at. I'm constantly perplexed by the fact that he hasn't transferred despite this hatred. Perhaps he realizes he'd be equally unhappy at any school, I really don't know. As long as you guys posting keep this in mind when reading his posts, you'll be fine. I think whenever you encounter someone with a really strong opinion on an issue or a school, you should check their previous posts to see if they're just a fanatic or if this issue is in fact a hot one.</p>

<p>i honestly think he was someone who wanted to go to an ivy league school or school of that caliber, was rejected by all of them, and still is bitter.</p>

<p>with the exception of two people here on this thread, you all have more posts than I do, haha, calling me a loser on an internet college discussion board, i really don't care what you say.</p>

<p>Yes i did want to goto an ivy league school, or school of that caliber. So I guess you agree with me that Michigan's not Ivy League Calber.</p>

<p>it's not haha the ivy league is the ivy league but regardless, michigan is an excellent school.</p>
