<p>“Now, I fear that people won’t know I’m any different from just another state-school student” I think its more likely that the superior attitude shown by this statement will impede your career than your Uof M diploma. There are great people at every school, including of course many schools that have weaker credentials than the Wolverines. Make yourself into a great UofM grad, not just in the classroom but in your life, and you’ll do just fine.</p>
