As a high school honors student who applied to Michigan, was put on the waiting list, and then not accepted, despite my 3.7 GPA and score of 29 on my ACT, I am glad something is finally being done about this.

That is an outrage that someone with your credentials was put on a waiting list. Time the UM quota system was definitely overturned.

No offense, but with those scores I am curious how you survived the Jim Robinson vetting process?

No matter, I decided to go to a more local state university instead, with a chemistry dept. that to me is almost comparable to Ann Arbor's, earned some scholarships that I wouldn't have recieved, saved a ton of money, worked my way through school, earned my degree....

and now I'm working at the world's second largest chemical company. Had I earned the same B.S. in Chemistry from Michigan, would I be any better off? I believe that bachelor's degrees are bachelor's degrees, with a few exceptions, no matter where you get them. Graduate degrees are more than likely another story.

I really only applied to Michigan just to see if I could get in. The more I learned about their admissions process, the more I saw my application as an experiment, if you will, for future reference.
