<p>if u did, let me kno ur stats, im wondering what my chances are</p>
<p>u have to transfer into ross after 2 years at lsa</p>
<p>Apparently, several people have been admitted under the Ross Pre-Admit Program for incoming freshman (which is new this year). According to other posts, they are looking for about 80 admissions under the Pre-Admit Program. I don't how many acceptances will be required to fill 80 or so spots. However, the competition will be tough.</p>

<p>Here's an excerpt from Clue's helpful link that I find hard to believe:</p>
<p>"Please note that if a student does not apply or is not accepted into the Ross School of Business as a high school senior, this does not hurt the chances of being accepted into the 3-year program. The Ross School of Business encourages students to apply for admission into the BBA 3-year program during their freshman year of college."</p>
<p>I find it hard to believe because a certain number of available spots will be taken by the Preferred Admits. Thus, the admissions percentage will drop for those trying to get one of the remaining spots after their first semester as freshmen.</p>
<p>I think you're reading it the wrong way. What they're trying to say is that just because you got rejected once, doesn't mean anything the second time you apply.</p>
<p>i got in, there is a Ross prefer admit thread in the forum scroll back a few pages, u'll find it.</p>
<p>I disagree. There are a limited number of spots open in the business school. Thus, if 80 to 100 are taken at the pre-admit stage, there will be 80 to 100 fewer spots available for those applying with the second round of applicants. This will make it more difficult to get in than in past years in the second round.</p>
<p>Think of it like this, if two schools have a similar pool of applicants and school A admits 50% of its class ED and school B admits 25% of its class ED, then which school will be easier to get into in the RD round? School B. The situation with the pre-admits is analagous to this example.</p>
<p>In addition, the purpose of the pre-admit program is to lure some of the top candidates away from other highly ranked business schools that allow you to apply directly into the business school as a freshman. Some pre-admits would choose to go to the other schools because they have the assurance of knowing they will be admitted into their desired major.</p>
<p>For example, if I don't get admitted under Michigan's pre-admit program but I am admitted to Cornell's business program, I will likely go to Cornell even though its business school is ranked somewhat lower than Michigan's. I don't want to roll the dice at Michigan's business school, which has a 50% or less admittance rate.</p>
<p>What they're trying to say is that they won't hold it against you personally if you don't get admitted the first time. If you absolutely will die if you don't get a BBA, then Michigan may not be for you. Even the preferred admit isn't a guarantee. If you screw up your first-year classes, they still have the right to dump you.</p>
<p>I know what they're trying to say and they do a good job of it. I just believe they left out an important piece of the puzzle that applicants should be aware of.</p>
<p>Personally, it will be very hard for me to go to Michigan if I do not get in Preferred Admit. Since I want to study business I don't want to spend my freshmen year at LSA and then apply to the business school, not get in, and then not be able to study what I want to.</p>
<p>Your point is very valid. I spoke witht the business school the other day and they said if you haven't heard yet, that the rest of the decisions will be available in about 2 months, after May 1. I said how can anyone make a decision if you don't know if you have preferred admit or not. She said you can enrol in LSA by May 1st and then apply as a soph if you don't get in. It kind of defeats the purpose if you don't get the information. I just hope she is mistaken.</p>
<p>Also I asked about scholarships. LSA merit scholarships are not transferable and you have to be reconsidered for Business School scholarships when you get in even as a preferred admit. There is no guarantee that you will get Business school scholarships money just because you got LSA money.</p>
<p>how do you get the business school scholarships?</p>
<p>learner, that is really upsetting to me, I really hoped to hear by mid-April so that could weigh into my decision. I think that this pushes Michigan down on my list.</p>
<p>Hey everyone. First off, when I visited U-Mich and the B-School in mid-feb , they mentioned that about 45 acceptances had been given out and that they are targeting to admit somewhere around 70. They also mentioned that a) those 45 includes some who have decided not to enroll @ Umich and b) that if they don't have 70 who can meet the criteria, they won't accept that many. However, it was also noted that the next batch would hear back by the beginning of April. </p>
<p>As has been noted in this thread, there are definetly some applicants whose decision to attend Michigan hinges on a Ross PA admittance - I know mine did. It's not an easy thought to want to study business but have the fear of not getting into business school after a year of college. So, hopefully some of you will hear back soon!</p>
<p>In terms of a scholarship, I know some PA people who have received a $5,000 scholarship for their sophmore year @ Umich from Ross, and some who havent. Based on my assumption that everyone whose been accepted as a PA is equally academically and extracurricularly talented, I would have expected it to be given out to everyone. Anyways, good luck to you who haven't heard! But remember, if you don't get in, and you really like Michigan, don't let one bump in the road stop you from going.</p>
<p>thanks for the info, guess i'll be hearing soon</p>
<p>I'm international student, so hopefully.. if they make decisions in early april, the mail doesnt take too long to arrive...</p>
<p>My friend got in to the program a couple weeks ago.</p>
