<p>I am confused by how exactly admission in Ross works. If I want to have a dual degree in Computer Engineering and one from Ross, will I apply as senior in HS or do I wait until I get into Michigan and sometime during my freshman year?</p>
<p>Apply for CoE and Ross preferred admit out of HS. The preferred admit program is really selective so if you don't get in to Ross, you can still apply after freshman year.</p>
<p>Go here for a more in-depth description of the preferred admit program and Ross admissions: </p>
<p>It states "If accepted, the admitted student will become a “preferred admit.” This means that the student will be an LS&A student but is given a set of requirements to meet during their freshman year. "</p>
<p>However, I don't want to go into Literature, Science, and the Arts. Will they place me in CoE as long as I put that as my intended school?</p>
<p>Must be a typo or something. On the actual application, here is what it says:</p>
<ol>
<li>You must apply to the College of LSA or
the College of Engineering. The Ross School
of Business will not accept applications for
Preferred Admission from any other college
within the University of Michigan. Thus, in
STEP 3 under Plan of Study (#18 of the hardcopy
application), you must indicate either
LSA or Engineering.</li>
</ol>
<p>About 1 year ago we worked out (in a manner of speaking) the dual degree requirements between the CoE and Ross. It's a bear. It's hard enough to graduate from either one, and the CoE can take a bit more than 4 years if you're not careful. Combine the two, and you end up with 5.5+ years of undergraduate work. You should think about getting your undergraduate degree in one and better a masters in the other. You can do that in 6 years and have two degrees.</p>
<p>Just a thought. </p>
<p>For more information, talk to either a CoE advisor or a Ross advisor once you are admitted to the CoE or Ross.</p>
<p>Ross Director - I'm currently doing my A-Levels and hopefully will have about 25 credits when I begin at the CoE. How long do you think it will take do a Dual Degree at CoE and Ross? Would it be feasible in 4 years and use all my electives towards fulfilling the Ross degree requirements?</p>
<p>Double majoring in engineering and business doesn't help much careerwise.</p>
<p>how about business and sports management</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What if my ultimate goal is to get an MBA from NU/Harvard/Stanford? I would like to get a good job after I graduate from undergrad in consulting as an analyst maybe. Would consultant firms not care much about me having degrees in engineering and business?</p>
<p>Capnjazz, a double major in Math and Business, Math and Econ or in Engineering and Economics would be as impressive and less time consuming. Hell, you don't even need to double major. You can just take a healthy dose of Math (if you intend to major in Business) or Econ (if you intend to major in Engineering) classes and still have a great deal to offer potential employers and in the future, graduate schools adcoms. </p>
<p>My cousin single majored in Mechanical Engineering from Michigan and graduated with a solid 3.5 GPA. She worked for Ford for 4 years and applied to B-school. She got into several top programs including Michigan, Wharton and Kellogg and chose Kellogg. She is now working as a management consultant for Mercer in San Francisco. Double majors are not required whatsoever.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advise Alexandre. I think I am gonna just look into single majoring now in CE.</p>
<p>That would be wise. And like I said, you can take half a dozen Econ classes, like 101, 102, 401, 402 and a couple of financial Economics classes. Plus you can always read books about IBanking (Merchant Bankers by Joseph Wechsberg or Barbarians at the Gate by Bryan Burrough and John Helyar) or Management Consulting to familiarize yourself with the lingo if you really wish to become an IBanker or a consultant. </p>
<p>Have you seen the list of companies that recruit at the CoE? It is pretty impressive to say the least.</p>
