<p>I was wondering how exactly the application for the 3-year BBA program is designed.</p>
<p>What types of essay questions are on the application?</p>
<p>Why you want the BBA
Your favorite EC
Your experience working in a team</p>
<p>It can't change too much from that. They used to require a resume and career goals, but I guess they decided that college freshman would be wasting their time writing a resume filled with nonsense. I looked at my application resume to see how I've improved, and it was just loaded with things that shouldn't have been there. They don't want you to practice something without much guidance. Also, my guess is that college freshman don't have to know what they want to do career-wise. (However, that doesn't mean they shouldn't know why they want a BBA.)</p>
<p>i am an incoming freshmen looking to apply to the program after my freshman year. on the ross website it says that the criteria includes post-high school extra cirriculars. this upcoming summer i am working at a day camp, nothing business related. will this hurt my chances?</p>
<p>It will hurt your chances only in the sense that you could be doing something else that would help your chances.</p>
<p>The BBA Application is available on the website , use another email address , and have a look at it.</p>
<p>redhare317, getting admiision to Ross, as 'Pre-admit' is an extremely tough proposition. In this admission year, I have seen, how OOS students, with 2150+ SAT, with reasonably good ECs, have been rejected. Similarly, transfer as OOS, is no cake walk! Getting into Stern turned out to be easier:)</p>
<p>I never said pre-admit wasn't difficult. I would say a good number of pre-admit kids have/had a good shot at Wharton. (In fact, I already know a handful that turned down Wharton for Ross.) Stern and Ross admissions stats are actually very comparable. You also have to consider that Ross gives you another chance if rejected, but rejection from Stern is simply rejection from NYU as a whole. But I completely agree that top students sometimes get rejected from Ross (pre-admit and regulars as well).</p>

<p>I'd have to disagree here. It's much harder to get into ROSS pre-admit then Stern. I wouldn't stand a chance with my stats (3.6, 32, great ECs, legacy, in-state) at ROSS pre-admit, but I did get into Stern (as well as get a 7.5k scholarship). Additionally, I know alot of students with stats that get them into Stern, but not into ROSS pre-admit. ROSS pre-admit is alot harder then getting into Stern</p>
<p>For what it's worth, Ross PA has a sub-10% admission rate, Stern's is about 30%.</p>
<p>I agree, ROSS PA is way more difficult to get into than stern. I think he means that stern and ross (not pa) are comparable.</p>
<p>I was comparing student bodies, without separating pre-admits from regulars. Just Ross as a whole and Stern. Perhaps I was wrong, but from what I know, Stern and even Ross pre-admits (at least last year) had similar SAT averages (around 1420) and EC achievement. And like I said, Ross is in a way allowed (for lack of a better word) to have a lower admissions rate because students get another shot after freshman year. Many who didn't get in the first time (under 10% according to jnpn) might get in the second time. The PA admissions rate is not a definitive number of how many students will end up as Ross students. Anyway, the bottom line is that Ross PA (compared to regulars) is tough and that the students are an elite bunch.</p>
<p>In case any are wondering where I got that from: </p>
<p>This is last year's PA class. It definitely is only getting harder.</p>
<p>Would u guys say that admissions to Ross PA is very much #'s based like the college or do they look at ur Ec's a lot too.</p>
<p>a lot of weight is put on the ec's and essays</p>
<p>Yes, some 4.0's were rejected, even if they had some EC's. I think it a lot comes down to your essays.</p>
<p>gotta have the whole package</p>
<p>I agree that this year's pre-admits had a more difficult hurdle to get in. However, even last year when the admit rate was 17%, they turned down a lot of applicants with higher stats... at least from an ACT and SAT perspective. Based on prior threads, they could have easily filled last year's class with much higher stats. They focus a lot more on the essays and ECs... you need to show passion and a reason(s) for wanting to be in the program.</p>
