Hi) I am form Europe but I've been considering studying in the US, majoring in Finance. My grades aren't stellar and I am looking for nonIvey (or generally less selective) target schools in the US. Is UoMichigan noteworthy? Or should I just stay in Europe (btw I won't get admitted to UK's top 10 targets for sure).
Cheers!

I believe UMich is a target school
You should probably give us some comparative statistics first. If you’re unlikely to get into UK’s T10 targets it’s also unlikely you’re a match for the target schools in the US. They’re extremely competitive as well.
Non-Ivy Targets: UChicago, Stanford, MIT, Duke, Georgetown, UCLA BizEcon/Berkeley-Haas, UMich, UVA, NYU.
I don’t think I’m missing any but there’s also a ton of schools that have GREAT placement like Vandy, Notre-Dame, UNC, USC, etc.
got MS but that's 100% fax ^
IVY not IVEY. FWIW
