chance at Michigan(management), please help!

<p>thank you Alexandre.
and, Will the location of the college help me significantly? such as New York, because I am a Canadian I don really know.
Will I have a chance to find a good internship job during the 4 years BBA program in NYU, or I just have time to study for school?</p>

<p>All of those programs I mentioned attract employers and recruiters from all over the nation, so location won't matter. And you will have your summers (early May- early September in the case of Michigan, mid May- mid August in the case of most other programs) to work as an intern.</p>

<p>Alexandre, are you graduated from one of those BBA?which one?</p>

<p>I majored in Economics at the University of Michigan. I prefered the theoretical aspects of Economics to the practical properties of Business for my undergraduate studies, so the thought of majoring in Business never crossed my mind.</p>

<p>So you are currently in Ross?</p>

<p>No, I have never been a student at the Michigan B school. I majored in Economics, not Business. I am now living in Dubai, in the Arabian Gulf.</p>

<p>Alexandre,</p>

<p>How do you rate the chances of someone who might want to transfer from a school like Indiana or Illinois to Ross? My understanding is the average entering GPA at Ross was 3.6--so does that mean that someone applying for transfer needs something like a 3.7 or 3.8 to have a chance?</p>

<p>Also, I notice that Ross now has a new 3-year BBA program in addition to the two year program--so does that mean someone would have to transfer at the end of their freshman year (in March of the Spring semester), because that's the way it appears.</p>

<p>Does that 3 years BBA program mean I might have a chance to go through regular admission? and Calcurzer are you a current Ross student?
can you share you admission experience of Ross?</p>

<p>I am not a current Ross student. I received my MBA from UCLA years ago.</p>

<p>I'm asking for my son (who starts at Indiana this year) and a friend of his who is at Illinois starting in the FAll. They don't necessarily want to go Michigan, but they are both planning to visit the university next month to see what it's like.</p>

<p>Calcruzer, I am not sure what kind of stats one needs to transfer from another university into Ross. Typically, only 10-15 students in each Ross class (of 350) come from another university. But how many apply, how many get in and what sort of credentials they have is unknown to me. I'd say over a 3.6 GPA with excellent reasons for wanting to transfer into Michigan. </p>

<p>Liangshengt, as I mentioned above, it is now possible to be considered for pre-admission into Ross through "regular admission". What that means is that as you fill the Michigan application form, you can check a box that asks if you wish to be considered for Ross "pre-admission". Pre-admitted students need not apply to Ross once at Michigan. All they need to do is maintain a certain GPA (3.0 I believe) their first year at Michigan, and they are guaranteed a spot at Ross. However, only a small percentage of Ross students will be pre-admitted. I believe 70 of the 350 class will be pre-admitted, and the competition for one of those 70 spots is stiff. The remaining 80% of Ross students will have to apply once already enrolled at University. The only difference now that the BBA program is a 3-year program is that Ross applicants will now apply at the end of the Freshman year rather than they end of their Sophomore year.</p>

<p>Alexandra, as you mentioned, I think Stern is very good for me, Michigan is not nessesary since it needs a special way to get in Ross.
the subject that I want to major is general management, but according to the information from the websites that you gave to me, it is sort of hard to find a internship from a general management eh?</p>

<p>Alexandre, not Alexandra. I am a guy! </p>

<p>If you want to major in General Management, you are better off going to Ross. Ross is #1 in General Management at the undergraduate level. </p>

<p>Besides, even though Ross is a little more risky than Stern, at least Michigan feels like a real university whereas NYU is more like a commuter school, with no sense of campus.</p>

<p>sorry, alexandre, typing mistake
if I want to go to Michigan, what major I should go first in order to transfer to Ross? will relevant subjects like Economic or finance help me?</p>
