Why is Charlie going to U of M?


This is one of those movies that seem like they didn't miss any opportunities to make a joke and they even repeat it, seemingly for emphasis. Does the school have a reputation for being easy to get into or am I missing something? Maybe the actors attended?

No, quite the opposite. It's a pretty tough school to get into. Average GPA is 3.8 with average ACT of 29-33 and SAT 1900-2200. I think that's the joke. He got into a pretty prestigious school. I would assume they picked UofM over an Ivy because it's slightly more plausible and much less cliche.

I just thought like most smart kids they lack common sense and are naive when it comes to every day things. Like raunchy sex and bad language. ie: Typical Teenage crap.

At the end it's clear. He thought U of M was university of Miami. That's the joke.
