<p>I started out this year in LSA not knowing what I wanted to do. I took both requirements for Ross and the engineering school and got into both. Both schools interest me, so I was wondering what your guys' thoughts were.
Thanks</p>
<p>Do you want to be overworked or turn out to be a raging ****** head? (Half kidding, but I’m in the latter.)</p>
<p>Are you implying you are not overworked in business?</p>
<p>^Isn’t that the stereotype for those majors while in college?</p>
<p>Depends on what you want to do, I guess. I’d guess that if you do well enough in Engineering, you’d be able to get into banking/consulting without too much problem.</p>
<p>Do engineering.Get an MBA later.</p>
<p>Engineering, I think, because it is a solid skill. You can always get like a marketing degree or something later in grad school.</p>
<p>Unless you want to do accounting or finance in Ross. Those are pretty solid skills. Then I wouldn’t know what to tell ya. ; P</p>
<p>Depends on what you want to do. Both schools are equally well recruited for their respective fields.</p>
<p>Finance in Ross is not a “solid skill”. Accounting is though.</p>
<p>^ Finance is a joke. While I agree that accounting is a solid trade skill, it doesnt really teach you how to think.</p>
<p>I was thinking about taking five years to get a dual degree in engineering and business. Does anyone know someone who has done this?</p>
<p>Not worth the pain. Might as well do EGL if you want a mix of both…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yea, useful knowledge, but certainly doesn’t teach you how to think. Finance can teach you some useful underlying concepts, but is far too soft.</p>
<p>michigancholo, I have a question for you…</p>
<p>Im pretty much in the EXACT same boat as you, I am an incoming LSA freshman. Im pretty set on trying to get in the engineering school, so if I take the prereqs for engineering and get accepted, will I then have to take 4 more years of engineering classes? Or would I take the same classes even if I was accepted into the engineering school straight out of high school? Basically I am asking if I will be wasting a year of college (like $15k) by not being in the school of engineering to start</p>
<p>^^If you transferred at the beginning of your sophomore year (like I did), you would be treated like a sophomore in the engineering school (so only 3 more years of school). The classes you will take as a freshman will probably be the same as your engineering peers. Math, physics, programming, and whatnot. Let me know if you don’t know what classes to take. It’s actually very simple, especially if you have AP credit.</p>
<p>RONDIZZLE27, you can take all the courses, even the two engineering ones, you need as a freshman, and you will probably save a few thousand dollars.
You’ll be on track, dont worry.</p>
<p>It’s actually a wise move, imo.</p>
<p>the courses you need are:
Two math courses (i.e. math 115 and math 116 depends on ap credit)
chemistry(i.e. chem 130, 125 and 126 depends on ap credit)
Physics 140 and 141(depends on ap credit)
Engineering 101
and first year writing (i.e. English 125)
I think thats all you need. You might wanna double check</p>
<p>Yep, thanks…I looked it up and those are the classes I have to take. It kinda sucks that all the AP credit I have does not apply to any of these classes, but im still awaiting my calculus score.</p>
<p>Looks like all I have to do is get at least a 3.2 GPA, which seems realistic…Plus im saving money and can still do pre-med if I choose.</p>
<p>med school isn’t gonna happen with a 3.2</p>
<p>I’m with Flipper on this one. If you want to do both, get the BSE and get an engineering job and go back for the MBA. There is more value in the MBA than the BBA.</p>
