<p>I was accepted this year by EA into Michigan Engineering and I applied for preferred admission into Ross (I will likely but not certainly get in, because my brother goes there and I have been overall a lot more academically applied than he is).</p>
<p>I've been leaning towards engineering these past months, and I was wondering first of all if I could get out of the preferred admission if I want to (not to say I do, I have just been second guessing my choice)? I assume it wouldn't be that difficult but I may be wrong...</p>
<p>Also, I would like to know how easy it is to pursue both engineering and business at Michigan. I understand it's really big and Ross is far away from Michigan Engineering, so I wouldn't expect it to be a common thing to do. I don't know if I want to do a double major, ESPECIALLY if it takes longer to graduate (my parents will only help me pay for 4 years). So is there some sort of way I can take advantage of Ross from Michigan Engineering without getting a full degree? Perhaps a minor? Or would that be hell to go across campus like that.</p>
<p>I'm mostly asking to see if I should even apply to WUSTL. Michigan has better engineering and ARGUABLY better business, it's also a lot cheaper and I have a good chance at getting a scholarship like my brother did on top of that. But what WUSTL provides is a better atmosphere (I know I could find my group and make it work at Michigan, but I'd just be generally happier at WUSTL and have an easier time fitting in) and, most importantly, interdisciplinary opportunities.</p>
<p>Also, Michigan has Canada but WUSTL has St Louis ribs so I guess they're even in that regard :/</p>
<p>Thanks for the input!</p>
<p>It would be very, very difficult to double major. I’m also not sure why you’d want to.</p>
<p>I believe they just added a Business minor through Ross that you can pursue if you’re in engineering. Idk much about it though because it’s pretty new. There are also entrepreneurship programs and stuff.</p>
<p>You could…but you shouldn’t. It would take you five years and it’s not necessary.</p>
<p>what do you want to do after undergrad?</p>
<p>My cousin did IOE+Ross in 4.5 years… But he said he would’ve done IOE + Ross minor had the option been available to him. Yes you can drop preferred admission if you’d like.</p>
<p>“king to see if I should even apply to WUSTL.

<p>Ross is superior to Olin. Michigan has excellent interdisciplinary oportunities. Why would you pay a high premium to attend a school that isn’t as good as your local university for engineering and business?</p>
<p>Well, just saying Michigan isn’t local for me. I’m from the West coast.</p>
<p>Not that my brother and I talk much, but from what he’s implied it would be a pain to go from Michigan Engineering to Ross a few times a week considering the separation (both physically and socially). So I’m not sure if it’s even realistic. I know little about WUSTL, but I’ve heard that interdisciplinary opportunities are pretty good there.</p>
<p>“Well, just saying Michigan isn’t local for me. I’m from the West coast.”</p>
<p>Ahhh, well that makes a difference. The bus takes ten minutes, it’s not a big deal.</p>
<p>If you do get into Ross via preferred or regular admission. I think you can just dual enroll for now. Take all the classes listed here
[Minor</a> in Business | Michigan Ross iMpact](<a href=“http://www2.bus.umich.edu/MyiMpact/academics/businessminor]Minor”>Business Minor - Academics at the Michigan Ross School of Business)
Then during your senior year you might be able to just disenroll from Ross and select COE as your main school.
By then you could probably try to argue to declare a minor that way you get the benefits of it being an official minor.</p>
