Someone has got to tell me what is up with all of the Michigan vs _____

<p>Everytime I see another of those threads pop up, I click it expecting a joke... :P</p>

<p>Maybe they are jokes. People are having lots of fun.</p>

<p>uchicago, it seems like you're having fun posting in those threads, haha. As most of us are.</p>

<p>It seems like it is a joke, because Michigan's being compared to these other schools which don't have a whole lot in common with it.</p>

<p>Exactly, which is why I don't appreciate people compaing Michigan to smaller, more undergraduate focused schools such as Wake, Vandy, BC, etc. It just isn't fair. Compare Michigan against its peers and the latter schools on theirs.</p>

<p>Yeah. I find it highly strange that practically everyone on here is trying to choose between Michigan and a small private school. </p>

<p>Some kind of inside joke that we don't know about?</p>

<p>Well, I know that a friend of mine just got her acceptance to Michigan. Maybe lots of people are getting their Michigan acceptances, and want to compare it to their early action schools.</p>

<p>Erm, people compare because they need to choose -- whether it's a small LAC or a large public school, they're going to have to compare them. =)</p>

<p>I think ppl are showing love for the top public schools :D... its a hard decision you know, Should i pick a large school or a small school? I guess lots of ppl are asking themselves the question</p>

<p>I find it strange that people are choosing Michigan vs _____. Doesn't even matter if it's a small private school. I can't imagine that recently everyone who posts any sort of School#1 vs School#2 happens to choose Michigan as one of those schools... lol</p>

<p>zkevin, what is your point?</p>
