Admission into Business School???

<p>Hi there,
So I am trying to finalize my college decisions and pretty much everything is working out for UNC, so I really want to go!
I am an out of state student, and I am going to be taking under 7k in loans each year to attend, but surprisingly that's cheaper than what it would cost to go to my state school. I am going to be studying business in college, and UNC has an amazing business program....</p>

<p>my only concern is that with UNC, you have to apply to the business school as early as the summer before freshman year. I was already kind of shocked I got into UNC given my test scores (SAT CR+M 1270, ACT 29) and looking at the admitted students profile for the business school (SAT 1346) I am a little concerned about getting in. I don't want to commit and pay to go to UNC only to find out after a year or so that I did not even get into the school that I want to study in. How does the whole admission process work for business and what can I do to get there? Please help! Thank you!</p>

<p>That certainly is a common concern for most aspiring BSBA majors at UNC. You normally apply to KF in your sophomore year, when you have most if not all of the KF pre-reqs completed (or at least in process). The application process also includes an interview. </p>

<p>It is one of the more competitive majors to gain admission at UNC. Approximately 50% of UNC student applicants to KF actually gain acceptance. Some students that don’t get into KF look at economics as an alternative with perhaps a minor in entrepreneurship. You can also take KF business courses without being a BSBA major. Both approaches can round out a pretty solid resume for jobs or graduate school.</p>

<p>To get into KF you obviously need a good UNC GPA and definitely a strong performance in the pre-reqs. KF is also big on demonstrated leadership, so seek out those types of opportunities in your ECs. Have a well thought out career plan when applying and know how KF will help you meet your aspirations.</p>
