Well I have a friend who graduated from Cleveland State law. Took a bar with 3 other guys from Ohio who had gone to Harvard. He passed on the first try - they didn't. That doesn't particularly answer the question but we don't know you weren't the best candidate Woody. You might be just fine.

Either way, that was one point of a bunch I made. Was I aided because I went to Michigan? Of course. The alum helped me get the interview. Plus, like I mentioned, the Michigan engineering degree carries weight, so I was helped from that too. Was I given the offer because I go to Michigan? No. Most likely they rated all the candidates after the event and I was high enough on that list.

So I benefit from the alumni network. I benefit from the degree.

Either way, this whole topic change was just to make some posters on here realize how good of a school Michigan is. I know facts and logic are frowned upon in this board, but I figured I'd try.

Daddy footed the bill for you MLD, you're lucky. However, you seem to be lazy and I doubt you will do well unless you change your attitude.

From across the pond, I know basically nothing about University of Michigan. Literally not heard of it outside of football. I *have* heard of the ones listed above by Cysko. That doesn't say anything about the quality of the program, but it does speak to the reputation of the university outside of America.

And, in my experience, having a degree from a good name university will get you an interview - but *you* have to earn the job still. You can't just turn up wearing the right tie and expect to get the job.

I hate the Michigan football team, but academically they're an elite-tier school, especially when it comes to physics and medicine. If I applied there for medical school, they likely wouldn't consider me

Anyways, you could make the argument that UofM is a tier lower than MIT and Harvard because those two schools are in a league of their own. However, the guys up north make the top 10 in many, many academic rankings so if you're going to argue that they're not an elite school, I'd say you were wrong.

If michigan were the bungles OSU would be the Tennessee titans.

Congrats Vapor on the med school acceptance.

Also, thank you for agreeing with me.

I know I am lucky. I pay for everything else, but I know I am very lucky my tuition was covered. Why exectly am I lazy though? Literally all you know about me is that I am an engineering student at Michigan, and that doesnt sound like lazy.

[Westside Steve]

Which medical school accepted you bud?

Glad to hear it!

Yawn. Rehashed jokes that could work for any school are boring.

And I still think any jokes about umich grads being dumb make little sense

Actually all of my forays into recreational hallucinogenic substances were decades ago.

I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I've never even seen a hit of crack.

We have a big crack in a deck board on our big deck.

I wouldn't think of smoking it, not that that is even possible....

I'll just fix it next spring.
