UM: Safety School

A high school student writes that her disappointment at getting a deferment letter from Columbia was offset a bit by an acceptance email from UM: “Um yeah, I was pretty freaking happy. I know it’s just my safety, and I was sure that I was getting in, but still. It’s a relief to know I’m going somewhere. And even though Michigan is near the bottom of my list, I would definitely be okay with going there.” [Source]
