<p>I can answer very specific questions about LSA, the RC, the School of Music, Housing, and dual degree programs. I probably can answer a lot of other questions, too, about out-of-state and other topics. I'm home for break and booooored, I can't wait to get back to Ann Arbor; so in the meantime I'll spend my time talking about Ann Arbor.</p>
<p>How do you study while performing?</p>

<p>Do you know anything about the summer bridge program before freshman year? Who gets admitted? Why? What's the program like?</p>
<p>I know that an A is 4.0 and B is 3.0. But what score range constitutes an A? 95-100? 94-100?</p>
<p>And B? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I got into LSA, and I plan to major in history. I am also extremely dedicated to an instrument, principal seat in youth orchestra, etc. Would I be able to take lessons from an actual professor, and if so, would I get credit? Or would I have to pay the professor separately and not get credit? Or do seniors majoring in my instrument offer lessons maybe? Also, what orchestras could I be in? Assuming that I am good enough, would I be allowed to play with the majors in the same orchestra? Thank you so much!!!!</p>
<p>Zhongong, the whole % vs letter grade depends on your class. For example in chemistry an A was an 85+, B 70-84, C 55-69 etc...and then in calculus it depends on the curve and how well the rest of the class did on the exam..so..yea lol</p>
<p>Beprepn,</p>
<p>It really depends on what you mean. If you mean while I'm in rehearsal for a performance, I just study in between scenes I'm rehearsing. If you mean while I'm in performance....well, I guess it doesn't really depend. I just study in between scenes. </p>
<p>Now you also could have meant, "How do you find the time to study while you're part of a show, which probably rehearses nightly from 7 to 10 pm?" The answer to that is a little different. I find studying during the day to be the best and most productive time to study. If you're in LSA you'll have time to do that, since classes meet M-W or T-Th and only for an hour, for the most part. Otherwise, you'll find you can stay up later at night doing work because you can wake up much later in the morning than you had to in high school. Don't worry, studying is a possibility all the time...it just depends on whether you're willing to do it :)</p>
<p>Henrym88,</p>
<p>Sorry. I don't know anything about that program. I just know about summer semester, orientation, and the Florence (Italy) program, as far as summer programs go. </p>
<p>Zhonggong, </p>
<p>An "A" is a 94-100, I believe. "A-" is 90-93, "B+" is 87-89, etc. What Umar said is true. Most of the more competitive LSA and Engineering courses are curved. Most of the other classes are not, both in the schools outside of LSA and in LSA. </p>
<p>Boredofeducation,</p>
<p>Great questions! Unfortunately, you can't study with School of Music faculty if you're not a School of Music student; however, LSA students are free to audition for the School of Music ensembles and for lessons. They count for credit. </p>
<p>Best,
FB</p>
<p>Is the RC really full of pot-smoking, tie-die-wearing, long-haired, whining liberals? I mean, that's what I've heard, and you seem kind of like that on these boards. Is this true? I've also heard the school of music is completely removed from normal university life and the people in it are just like dorchestra nerds. I'm aspiring to be a musical theatre or music performance major, so could you help me out with this?</p>
<p>HAHA lol. you're such a hax0rz</p>
<p>Um, for the record, kids, the RC is down to earth and intellectual and the School of Music is very involved with the University AND is one of the top in the country.</p>
<p>I love you becky :-)</p>
<p>wow, you're catching up to me in number of posts. impressive.</p>
<p>how many pretty azn girls are in the music school or RC?</p>

<p>It depends. Most LSA and engin classes are curved. For example, orgo this year was 80-96 A, 65-80 B, etc. Actually, orgo uses an absolute scale, but it is always curved.</p>
<p>Calc 3 this year was 80-100 A, 65-80 B, etc for my lecture section. Exam averages are usually around 50-70 for all calc classes. Calc 2 is notorious for being hard based on exam averages. Upper level engin classes can have weird exam averages like 25%, so in this case, a curve is def applied.</p>
<p>one question: how many people say azn?</p>
<p>quite a few, and this is not limited to the large # of fob's at this school. (not that being a fob is a bad thing...)</p>
<p>oh PLEASE, barry. barry's the only one who says azn.</p>
<p>Is it possible to do a dual degree of Engineering with Business? How difficult is it? I have got admission to Engg Freshman- an International Student. My interests are engg and finance. thanks,</p>
<p>sm97,</p>
<p>you really will have absolutely no reasons to double major in engineering and business as an undergrad. that seems wasteful, foolhardy, and impossible. i say major in engineering undergrad and business for grad, if you're still interested. </p>
<p>best,
fb</p>
<p>I have applied for M&T in UPenn/Wharton and deferred. I am not sure of my chances. I am a bit concerned with yur comment that it is impossible. Many other Universities allow a double major between engg and business for example CMU, Wharton/U penn etc. Michigon does not encourage this? If someone wants to join industry is that not better? Doing an MBA will be 2 long extra years and one needs to break their career to do it, right? I thought it makes sense to finish all studying one wants at one go instead of doing piecemeal. One main reason for me applying to Michigon was that it is ranked high for both Engg and Mgt. Kindly clarify.</p>
