Says Edelman: "Michigan has called, written and offered me two scholarships. They are making it look very attractive." Panda Chen, daughter of an engineer in Piedmont, Calif, has a 3.95 grade-point average and has received scholarships from five schools. She will accept $7,000 in tuition from Mills College in nearby Oakland...
