Who are We??? A Question I've Always Wondered.
Its summer, there isn't a whopping amount going on, thought it would be a good time to ask this question that I've wondered about since I joined the MGoBlog community. Very simply, I've always wondered in a more general sense (not about anyone specifically) who all of you are (categorically speaking of course). Would appreciate any of you who choose to participate in this unscientific study, feel free to answer with one of the following categories that best describes you:
1) high school student
2) University of Michigan student
3) student at another University or college
4) Michigan alum
5) Non-alum Michigan fan
I know many of you relish your anonymity but again, just trying to figure out a little more about who comprises the MGoCommunity.
And for the sake of fair play - I'm a 4, Michigan alum of over a decade.
4, class of '03.
HS student with two parents who graduated from the B school. Hopefully I can go to UM.
i live in chicago, im studying to be a firefighter. the website said ann arbor hires at 18 so i am interested in moving out there if possible.
been a 3 (accepted and financial aid didn't come through) but with out of state tuition and such I'm simply a lowly 5.
wish i was a 2 or 4.
Brand new 4...YIKES, that's weird.
I'm a 4, class of '07E, did the marching band thing for the last 3 years. Now back in my hometown of Vermont where my family has gotten frustratingly green and white... mom's a sparty, dad's neutral, brother and sister are sparty as well.
Just graduated high school. Can't afford Michigan, so I'm taking a scholarship down south. My dad went to Michigan.
Undergrad 2000, grad 2005.
Does that make you an 8?
Were you 2000 b-school?

Member of the Michigan Marching Band
My older sister is a 4, younger sister is currently at Little Brother, parents went other places, and the rest of the family is dominated by Green and White. Holler.

Class of 2011.

Aero '07 here.
Damn you young whippersnappers making me feel old...

5, once a 3, son of a 4.
I am a 3 at IU but would love to become a 2 by going to a michigan graduate school in the future.
LSA/Biology concentration, class of 86
Business undergrad -- class of '86. Couldn't bear leaving so I signed up for grad school. Public health (hospital administration) class of '88.
I grew up in AA, have one parent who is a doc at the U and started going to the Big House when I was seven. The day I got accepted was one of the best days of my life (along with my wedding day and the birth of my son). i never applied anywhere else. I hope to be the parent of a 2 in another ten years.
school I to which I applied, too.
I am curious whether any current or incoming students still use(d) that strategy. I called the admissions officer every day until I got my acceptance letter. I had no backup plan at all -- I was All In for Michigan before I knew what the hell that meant.
2 / 3. University of Michigan '08, University of Notre Dame '10, Catholic University of America, starting in the fall.
Son of 2 fours
5 I attended Linfield College which is in Oregon but have been raised to be a Wolverine.
I'm a 5 who thinks he's a 6......wait what?
BS, class of '00.
I'm a 3. I am going to be at BYU starting in the fall
4: Pol Sci '08; law student at a 3
About to join you except I was a history major 08 and like markgoblue, I wish I was a 2 still or whatever number meant that I was a student.
The exact same as Bryan.
I think I'm a 4x4.
me: B.S. 2002, PhD 2008
wife: B.S. 2002, MPH 2005
Your eventual kid would be a 4x4 once he or she has graduated.
Or is that a 4x4x4?
I was going to plus you, but you're at 4 points and I think it should stay at 4.
I'm a 2 for only one more year.
To all of you incoming 2s, congrats! You are in for an incredible 4 years, no matter how bad the football team is (trust me)
Michigan Alum
Wayne State Medical school

Been a fan since as far back as I can remember.
I'm a 5. Brother-in-law of two 4s. Uncle of two 4s and two 2s... Became an "insane zealot" fan when Rich Rod was hired.
I have two sons that I hope one day will be 2s (and eventually 4s).
4, about to be a 2 again. Just signed the lease two weeks ago for my apartment on Main St. I am very excited to be back.
edie: 4(lsa) 2(urban planning)
4, BA '09.
And no one in my family had any connection to U of M before I decided to go there, so I don't have the lineage of a bunch of you.
BA in SMC in '01, MA in Sports Mgmt in '03.
Best years of my life...too bad I don't remember a lot of them.
