You will also be an Illinois Scholar but usually get that information later on… Look it up.

You have a decent chance. Being out of state is tough though. My son’s there for engineering but works with some Ross business kids also.

There are tons of business things you can do not being in Ross. My engineering student is proving that out.

But if it’s business school or bust then good luck. Apply to safeties as well as the competition for Ross gets tougher yearly but it’s great if you get it.
