<p>Hi, Umich is my dream school but my stats are below average for the school.
Will it hurt if I state in the additional info that umich is my dream school? Will the adcoms think I am crazy? I don't want to take any risk but if this doesn't sound like a bad idea, I certainly want to let them know that they are my first choice.</p>
<p>I think a lot of people have “dream” schools in some form or another. A lot of these people want to show that they love their “dream” school too. I don’t think stating that they are your dream school is the greatest idea. The fact that you’re applying already shows them you’re serious about their school. Telling them that you love them isn’t the most mature way to go about it… I’d say that if you apply through their Early Response program, it’s probably the best way to show them that they are your first-choice school. I hope this helps.</p>
