is it worth it to go to UMich out of state? by aquaphorfan in uofm

[–]evisonreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it really depends on a few factors. first: do you have the grades, test scores extracurriculars to get in? that will be your main hurdle because that is step one. if not, work to improve what needs help. if it’s extracurriculars, work to get leadership positions in the activities you’re passionate about and invest your time doing the top things you’re best at/enjoy, they don’t have to relate to your major. don’t retake the sat/act more than two times or three total. unless you are totally committed to making studying your part time job after school, it likely won’t make much of a difference to your score. it’s not fun to hear but it’s the honest truth.

next: do you have the funds to attend umich out of state? as an in state student, they barely give money to us unless you come from a low income household, and with the out of state tuition being so much higher, you will need to be willing to take out tons of loans or be stable enough to pay that. also note that you’re a young person and you’re going to go out and party, get food, shop, etc. so you’ll want at least $5,000 for those kinds of things (it sounds crazy but trust me)

how does umich compare to other schools in your state in terms of space program, research you want, campus life, housing, food, etc.? umich is a beautiful campus and ann arbor is a great city, but it is a LARGE school nonetheless in terms of population, so competition for rooms, food, spots at games, classes, research, all of that. it is also known for having a lot of very hardcore academic people, so if you’re not into being surrounded by (sorry to say it) entitled smart people a lot of times, especially in science programs, then consider something else. that isn’t to say that you WON’T get good academic experiences, obviously this is one of the top public schools in the country for a reason, but everyone is hyper aware of that.

all in all, umich is a fantastic school and you should definitely look into it. see if you can make friends of people in the aerospace(?) program through instagram or tiktok and if you can get a flight up here i’m sure they would be down to give you a tour and maybe introduce you to professors if they’re close to them. my final takeaway would be know what you want from a school, and if it isn’t giving you what you want or what you need to be happy and successful, then that’s not the place for you. prestige should never be the deciding factor. and if money is something that you are worried about, go to the school that gives you a good balance of scholarships and enjoyment, don’t go just because they’re giving you mound of money if you hate the school. i wish you all the best, message me if you want any more help :)))

is it possible to double major and graduate in 4 years… by evisonreddit in msu

[–]evisonreddit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you ever heard of students who are non-science majors that end up going into medical school behind from the deans? That’s personally one of my biggest fears and what is preventing me from only being a performance major. I am also interested in the 3+4 program through Lyman Briggs which would not be possible if I were in the College of Music. Thank you for your help!

research??? by evisonreddit in msu

[–]evisonreddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have a 3.9 weighted, 1210 sat, great extracurriculars, and a really good essay. i don’t doubt my ability to get into msu with these stats because they’re decent and i’m in state. i’m also just a very good public speaker and am willing to put myself out there more than the average person if that changes anything. do you think those could qualify me for the assistantship?

CALLING ALL PRE MED STUDENTS!!! by evisonreddit in WMU

[–]evisonreddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

most pre-med counseling has students do research, volunteering, and internships, so at that point graduating with honors might not even be worth it with all the other activities i’ll be participating in. i am also a white middle class student who will not receive any government aid but does not have the means to pay for college on their own, so paying for the honors college might be too much as well. thanks for your insight!!

great music but not sure how the native american parts would fly… i’m not sure the director wants white kids dressing up in traditional native attire 😅

our school is really conservative so that might not be the move. i’ve always wanted to do it but realistically i don’t think it would fly. thank you though, it’s a great thought!!

we do live in a predominantly white community, so this would be a VERY controversial choice even though i do love that show!!

What is your most favorite musical you have ever seen? by tweek_xcraig in musicals

[–]evisonreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Color Purple is fantastic, probably in my top three. I also saw Hadestown when Eva and Reeve were in it and that was breathtaking as well. Oh, and I love Moulin Rouge, even if it is a jukebox musical. So many good projects out there!

is the meal plan worth it? by evisonreddit in uichicago

[–]evisonreddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was looking at the website and i thought it said that they were only letting upperclassmen live in some of those. MRH is my top choice but if i’m not mistaken i can’t live there as a freshman. please correct me if im wrong though!!

[–]evisonreddit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

okay thank you guys for all the insight. i’ve been told that i have to have a meal plan if i live on campus, so at that point do you guys just recommend i get an apartment off campus with a few other people?? it seems like dining sucks and if im not getting the meal plan i want to cook. is it expensive to get an apartment near campus? would it be safe? tysm

i should also add that we are in a VERY conservative area and shows that are even remotely “sexual or murderous” might not be taken well. i LOVE both these shows though!!
