<p>Hi, Im a rising junior from Illinois and was wondering if I even had a shot at Ross. </p>

<p>Do I have a shot?</p>

<p>Your GPA and ECs are quite good. If you can get the ACT up to a 33+ that would help you a lot more. I have quite a few friends who got into the program and they said at the welcome session the Michigan people told them that the average ACT is a 33, so it wouldn’t hurt to be around there. Also, the OOS might factor in, probably negatively. I’m going for Ross too.</p>

<p>i got in preferred admit and these were my stats</p>

<p>i’m a white male from southern california</p>

<p>2200 SATs (700 CR 780 M 720 W)
GPA: 3.95 UW 4.65 W
Rank: 4th/568
ACT: 34
APs: Calc BC - 5
APUSH - 5
Psych - 5
Chem - 5
World History - 5
Spanish Lang - 5
SAT IIs: Math II - 760 or 780, can’t remember, think it was 760. Chem 720, US History 710</p>

<p>ECs:
Varsity Track/Cross Country for 3 years (quit this year); voted most inspirational 3 times
I am also on ASB (commissioner of clubs and activities)
officer in science club
and I work ~15-20 hours a week at a sports store</p>

<p>senior schedule
lit ap, gov ap, econ ap (micro and macro), physics ap, ASB, multivariable calculus honors, art 1 (lolol look how well i can draw, what a joke class)</p>

<p>cubsrule, you certainly have a shot, but Ross is a reach, regardless of the applicant’s credentials. As Yungkhalifa points out, try to improve your ACT to 33 and apply early.</p>

<p>Im going to be taking the ACT two more times. But if I don’t get into Ross as a pre admit then is it even worth going to michigan lsa and then applying Ross or is that too risky?</p>

<p>It is not risky, but it is not guaranteed either. Besides, Michigan LSA is not exactly chopped liver. Michigan’s LSA is one of the best colleges in the nation.</p>

<p>I love chopped liver!</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Completely depends on whether you get into any other target schools.</p>

<p>At the welcome session, one of the deans gave these averages for pre-admits: W GPA: 4.1, SAT either 1420 something or 1470 something (don’t care about the new section I guess), ACT: 33. Several kids had their own businesses, several had patents. One kid’s business grossed over $200K last year. Jeez.</p>
