<p>If you decided to turn down Michigan for another school, which school? and why?</p>
<p>My son will be turning it down for NU. His sister goes to U-M and he prefers to blaze his own trail. Also, NU has been his dream school for a few years. From a fin aid aspect, NU offered a higher percentage of the COA than U-M did so it will be a negligible difference for him to attend.</p>
<p>Child accepted NU.</p>
<p>Visited on admitted students day, and the campus just didn’t click with her. It comes down to intangibles.</p>
<p>anyone else?</p>
<p>^^^Disappointed there aren’t any more responses?</p>
<p>Ds would love to be going to UM, his #1 choice but alas, too expensive for us OOS’ers. It was a hard thing to take the magnet bumper stickers off his car but he got good merit at Pitt so that’s the new bumper sticker.</p>
<p>i’m not disappointed at all. i always thought that i would go to michigan when i graduated high school. most of my friends are going in the fall, and i thought that i would be going with them. i got in (33 ACT, 4.0 gpa, in-state) and so i went for one last visit to the school, and idk, it just felt wrong somehow. the academics are great, i like the people, ect. but i just all of a sudden didn’t want to go anymore and i don’t really know what was wrong or what was missing. i ended up choosing UC Berkeley instead and i was just wondering if anyone else had a similar experience of all of a sudden their dream school just wasn’t for them</p>
<p>^choosing berkeley OOS instead of michigan instate, you must have quite a bit of $ to make that choice.</p>
<p>At any rate, I wish good luck :)</p>
<p>over 4 years berkeley will actually be less, not much less but still less, than going to michigan</p>
<p>Turning down Michigan for Minnesota. It was a tough choice but I’m looking forward to the Twin Cities and the savings are huge.</p>
<p>I’m still interested in how Berkely was cheaper. Did you get a ton of scholarships?</p>
<p>i didn’t get any aid from michigan and i got quite a bit from berkeley, and next year i’m going to be getting in state tuition so it will be cheaper than michigan</p>
<p>
Are you sure?</p>
<p>yup by next year i will be able to satisfy all the requirements needed to get instate tuition</p>
<p>^
sounds a little odd. If you were OOS at Michigan, it would never happen lol.</p>
<p>I think the OP is right, I’ve heard about that rule as well.</p>
<p>“i didn’t get any aid from michigan and i got quite a bit from berkeley, and next year i’m going to be getting in state tuition so it will be cheaper than michigan”</p>
<p>If Berkeley cost less/about the same as Michigan, then it makes sense to me.</p>
<p>D1 also turned down Michigan in favor of U of Minnesota. Michigan only offered the one-time $1500 Regents Scholarship IS while U of Minn offered near full ride for OOS. Made the choice easy. Good Luck to all those attending.</p>
<p>i am about to turn down michigan in favour of indiana university-bloomington for masters in sport management for fall 2011----does that seem a good choice? fees turn out to be almost the same…i am an international student.</p>
<p>thank you</p>
<p>
it depends… What is your reason for choosing Indiana?</p>
