A Dilemma:Art and Design or LSA? then Ross Business School

<p>Well I have a dilemma. I love art and I'm very good at it (AP Art Studios, Awards, already have a portfolio set, etc.) and I would like to apply to the Art and Design school. However I want to get into Michigan's Ross Business school even more...problem is I can't since the Ross Business School does not allow applicants from the Art and Design Department (at least High School Seniors). So I have another option of applying to the LSA school, and then applying to the Business School. So my question is:</p>

<p>-Apply to the Art and Design School, attend UM as a freshman, take prerequisite classes for the Business school, then in Winter apply for the Business school. (risky, since the main reason I want to go to U Michigan is for the business, and if I don't get in I'm stuck with Art and Design; not saying I don't like art, but I'll rather go to RISD for art)</p>

<p>-Apply to LSA and then Ross Business School as a High School senior. (I'll have to sacrifice my passion for art)</p>

<p>Apply to LSA and Ross, as well as RISD, if you apply early enough, you should know whether or not you're eligible for pre-admit for Ross and still have time to choose where you would like to go. Then, if you attend LSA but not get into Ross and you can hold out for a semester or two, you may be eligible for cross-campus transfer to Art and Design.</p>
