   cassie87 replied to UpNorthTC's topic in Michigan

   Hi everyone So probably like most of you I have come to this forum due to a general lack of an idea of what is going on with this whole admissions process. I just found out a few days ago I got accepted to MSU, which is awesome but also frustrating ...
