<p>I wasn't accepted as a Ross Prefered Admit, but I am looking to apply next year.</p>
<p>Do Ross students have to abide by LSA's core curriculum?</p>
<p>Are taking AP tests worth it? I am currently registered for Calc, Econ, Literature, and Government/Politics. I know I can get out of calc and econ requirements, but are gov/pol and lit worth it? Will I need these extra credits/hours anyway?</p>
<p>I can save money/time studying by withdrawing. Thanks for the help!!</p>
<p>And another question: Is it easy to graduate? How hard is it to complete 120 credits?</p>
<p>Business schools students don't have to meet LSA requirements. If you get accepted, you're off in your own little world unless you choose to pursue a dual degree.</p>
<p>120 credits=4 years * 2 semesters per year * 15 credits per semester</p>
<p>So even if you don't come in with any AP/dual enrollment credit, it's not hard to get 120 before you graduate. You'll probably have more difficulty meeting the distribution and language requirements. Although if you're in-state, doing the language requirement during the spring/summer terms isn't too bad (it's a little pricey if you're out of state). Business school might have a higher number of credits necessary to graduate, but I think that's only if you want to get a degree from both LSA and Ross.</p>
<p>The credits from Lit would really only be useful if you were planning on trying to get a degree from both Ross and LSA. That would just be one less elective course you would have to take to get the minimum number of credits, so you could focus more on your classes in your major(s) when you get here. The same thing holds for government, except they might also be useful if you think you might want to go for a political science degree (either in conjunction to Ross, or if you don't get into Ross). You should definitely have a backup plan in case you don't get into Ross, and if that backup plan involves doing Political Science (instead of Econ or maybe Actuarial Science), then you should get the credits for it.</p>
<p>Wow, thanks for your prompt reply. That was extremely helpful!</p>
<p>One last question (sorry!):</p>
<p>So on the Ross Core Courses site it says:</p>
<p>In addition to the Business requirements, BBA students are required to complete three of the following four requirements:</p>
<pre><code>* Humanities Distribution (HU) = 9 credits
* Natural Sciences (NS) and/or Mathematical and Symbolic Analysis (MSA) = 9 credits
* Social Sciences (SS) = 9 credits (excluding Econ 101 & 102)
* Foreign Language Proficiency = Fourth term proficiency
</code></pre>
<p>If I am a part of Ross, does that mean I can get out of the foreign language fourth term proficiency if I complete the other three requirements? Yes, right?</p>
<p>o wow i'd like to know the answer to this too. i dropped spanish my senior year so my foreign language proficiency is definitely not up to par lol... </p>
<p>and sorry to hijack the thread but------- dual degreeing sounds difficult. how are the requirements for double majoring within one school (ross because i'm a preadmit)? are they pretty much the same?</p>
<p>you just have to do three out of four - no language req if you complete the other three</p>
<p>For what it is worth, my daughter, who hated foreign language, stopped after 11th grade and had no problem passing the language proficiency test. If someone in the same situation a year earlier hadn't told her to take it because it was not challenging, she would have blown it off and started taking French. Take the proficiency test; you will probably be pleasantly surprised.</p>
<p>scratch my last question about the double majoring. it was a stupid question! should've done my research ;-)</p>
