<p>Hi guys,</p>
<p>I'm a new transfer student to Michigan(LSA) as a sophomore. Would it still be possible to transfer to Ross as a sophomore? Or will I have to wait a year and then perhaps stay an extra year? </p>

<p>You can apply as a sophomore and start the program as a junior, but since BBA is a three year program you will need to stay for an extra year.</p>
<p>It’s possible to transfer directly into Ross from a different university, but it’s nearly impossible. The acceptance rate is absurdly low. I don’t know the exact acceptance rate, but I do know that only about 4-6 students in each entering class are transfers. You should hedge your bets on waiting a year.</p>
<p>[BBA</a> - Stephen M. Ross School of Business](<a href=“Bachelor of Business Administration | Michigan Ross”>Bachelor of Business Administration | Michigan Ross)</p>
<p>Yeah, hence why I didn’t apply directly to Ross from my current university. So I would have to stay an extra year because it’s strictly a 3 year program?</p>
<p>Also, does Ross really have a crushing advantage over, say, LSA and Engineering when it comes to Consulting and Banking? I’m trying to gauge whether or not it’s worth me staying an extra year just for Ross(I’m certain I can maintain a 3.8+ GPA needed to get in). </p>
<p>I’m also considering the EGL program at the CoE.</p>
<p>Note, I’m certain I won’t be staying in just LSA. I’m bent on transferring to either the CoE or Ross. Just trying to see which is better worth my time if I intend on working in banking/consulting. </p>
<p>On a side note, I am wary of the effectiveness of an undergraduate business education. Ross appeals to me only because of its supposed prowess in placement… which does matter a lot.</p>
<p>Ah, okay, I read it as though you were currently a non-UM student transferring into UM next year. My bad. The BBA, as far as I know, is strictly a three year program, so yeah, you could start it as a junior and end up with 5 years under your belt.</p>
<p>While I know that Ross has an advantage in these fields for sure, I’m not sure of the magnitude, so I won’t pretend to know the answer to that.</p>
