<p>"All I wanted was the advice of fellow college applicants who may have had experience with those few schools."</p>
<p>OK, but what are you going to learn? You don't know the full record of those others. This year, the formula (e.g. Mich) may be different. And so on. And so what.</p>
<p>My real point is this: No one really knows what school will be easier or harder for any ONE student. Like real estate (ha ha), each student is unique. So the question, as you originally posed it, is impossible to answer.</p>
<p>Now, the question you most recently asked is more realistic. Why didn't you ask that? you might have gotten some real information. But maybe not. Most of last years kids have moved on.</p>
