<p>Hey guys, I was accepted to ND under EA. I'm planning to study business and is looking to go to Mendoza. I know that Mendoza does not accept freshmen. I remember reading from somewhere that Mendoza accepts any ND sophomores as long as they have an interest in business. Is this true? If not, what are the criterias for a freshman? eg. gpa, required courses etc. </p>
<p>I searched on the ND website for info, but couldn't find anything. :/</p>
<p>Oh yea, also is there grade inflation in ND?</p>
<p>Yes please answer this, I want to know the percentage of students get in Mendoza at ND too. Thanks guys!</p>
<p>No criteria, as long as you are in good academic standing you can enter the business school. But all freshmen are part of the First Year of Studies, so if you want to do something like science or engineering you will take courses geared towards that instead of easier courses for business. Some requirements are universal for all majors. If you want to enter Mendoza, just tell your advisor.</p>
<p>I haven’t taken economics at all in high school. It said that to get into Mendoza you need to complete Microeconomics requirements. Without any background in economics, can I complete the required course to get into Mendoza? Thanks guys.</p>
<p>Thats fine, most people take the econ requirement their freshman year. You don’t need to come in with any credits.</p>
<p>Awesome 
Thank you!</p>
<p>I haven’t taken any business related subjects either in high school haha XD</p>
<p>Assume you are selected by ND for Mendoza - after HS. Then after the first year at ND, is there another round of selection to get into Mendoza or as long as you have decent (3.5 GPA) you are in?</p>
<p>I am asking because it looks like ROSS has a serious round of selection (after 1st year) and many who are originally selected based on their preference for ROSS are rejected.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>^old thread, but to answer your question, you are not accepted to Mendoza after high school. On your application, you indicate where your academic interests lie, but all incoming freshmen are enrolled in the First Year of Studies. At the end of freshman year, you declare a major and enter a particular College within the University.</p>
<p>Hi ejcclc</p>
<p>Thanks for your reply. I understood that much. My question pertained more to another round of selection after the freshman year. Is there any assurance of getting enrolled in Mendoza or are there essays, goodwill, scores compared and a limited few allowed enrollment? [I know that there are pre-requisites for mendoza - which is fine - doesn’t bother me]</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>No, there is no second round to get into Mendoza. You just indicate your interest and you’re in. They have been talking about putting some sort of system in place like what you talked about but so far its just been speculation. Within Mendoza, you have to declare a major the 2nd semester of your sophomore year. Although they say that people might not get their first choice of major if too many students declare a particular major, in practice I think that’s only ever happened once. Bottom line- if you’re into ND, you’re into Mendoza if you want it.</p>
<p>Hi jsmithers</p>
<p>Thanks your reply. It is nice to know that there is an assurance. </p>
<p>Otherwise, someone who wants to study business entering ND would be very disappointed if they have to study something else because other students changed their mind after first year and there are too many students wanting to study the same thing.</p>
<p>If they want to introduce a second round, I would hope that they would update their website to reflect that for the benefit of those who could be affected by this change.</p>
<p>To some extent, education is also a business. One should know what they are buying into. Predictability, openness/honesty are hallmark of all great establishments.</p>
<p>Thanks again,
