<p>I'm a newly admitted freshmen into the LSA. I was wondering when we start choosing courses. Is it better to select and apply for courses as early as possible (as I hear from my college friends that it is usually better to apply early or else spaces run out). And if yes, when does course registration start? And how (online?)</p>
<p>I hope to enter the Ross School of Business in my second year. What courses do you suggest me to take? **How many **credits do I need? </p>
<p>You register for classes at the end of your orientation session, and you'll be registering online.</p>
<p>I don't know of any minimum number of credits required to apply for Ross (except maybe 12 credits per semester, which is the minimum to qualify as a full-time student). There are certain classes you need to take before you apply (Calc I and Econ 101). Beyond that, you should really just take classes you're interested in. You need a good GPA to get into Ross, but it'll be noticeable if you just get a 4.0 by taking obvious blowoff classes. If you take classes you like, it'll be much easier to put in the effort and get good grades. It'll also help you have some idea of what you want to fall back on if you don't get accepted to Ross.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure Ross has a minimum credit requirement of 27 credits to apply. You register for your classes at your orientation date and can fiddle with your class schedule, that is adding and dropping classes, till 2 weeks into the semester. And yes it's online. </p>
<p>Obviously you'll need to take Econ 101, Math 115 or higher and English 225. If you are done with some of these requirements through AP credits then you could take some higher level Econ classes ( 300 level). Stats 350 and English 225/229 were classes suggested by Scott Moore , BBA Program Director, that sophomores take, but this was back when the program was a two year program. Other than that, follow dilskys advice.</p>
<p>thanks a lot. I didn't know we have to take english.. but anyhow, maths and econ are definitely needed. How can we check online how many credits for each class we get and what classes are offered by U Mich?</p>
<p>I also hear from other friends that it is wise to choose a good professor. sorry if this sounds offending, but, is there a way to know which professors are good (e.g. they give good lectures,etc etc...)? </p>
<p>Furthermore, what is a** good** GPA? Because I know it all depends on the courses you take. is it better to maintain a good gpa when taking medium courses or better to take a vigorous course but get a medium gpa? </p>
<p>i hope there is some counseling service. and is it better to register early for classes so that you get a space (or is it a lottery...)?</p>
<p>You register for your courses at orientation. And you can change your schedule around during the summer as more courses open up, which were previously closed.</p>
<p>okay guess i'll check courses up during the summer... since i'm taking full ib, and each ib HL grants credit, how many credits does for example HL Bio (which i'm taking) get? where can we find out (b/c i recall on the website, it says the number of HOURS, not credits..)</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Econ 101 (but i have credits already);; so I should take a higher level Econ Course </p></li>
<li><p>Cal I / or math 225 or higher.</p></li>
<li><p>English 225 ( this sucks i hate english, but``)</p></li>
</ol>
<p>and the rest just go w/. the courses i like.</p>
<p>and just one more word; i am in the honors, any courses I should take in the honors? Or should I take a math/english/econ course in the honors?</p>
<p>If you have credit for a course, there is no reason to take it over again. I would advise taking the honors sequence in math (that is, if you like math).</p>
<p>thanks 2ndchance, but is it better to take a higher lvl econ class? because my ib credit covers only 8 credits for econ 101 and 102. shuld i take something like ... harder? is it worth ti</p>
<p>furthermore, i have HL lvl for IB in chinese and biology... is that going to be helpfuhl to count in the 27 credits for ross or am i taking this too easy</p>
<p>Take a 300 level Econ course if you already have credit for 101 and 102. Take the honors sequence of Calc 1 or Calc2, whichever you're more comfortable with. And lastly you can't take English 225 without taking English 125 so you'll have to take Eng 125 first.</p>
<p>Also remember to have flexibility in your course schedule. Since you're attending International Orientation, the chances of you not getting the classes you want are quite high. For eg: you may not get an English class or Math, during the first semester.</p>
<p>You need a minimum of 27 credits and maximum of 45 credits to transfer into Ross. I don't think AP/IB credits are transferable but you have to check that up again on the BBA Bulletin.</p>
<p>thanks gomez. so i assume classes spaces are served first come first served? Is it possible for me to reigster for classes even when I have not attended the orietentation? I've heard that we register for classes online. </p>
<p>You can't register until you attend orientation. Most classes are first come, first serve, but for lots of the common freshmen classes they open up spaces in waves so that students with later orientation dates are at less of a disadvantage.</p>

How hard is it go get physics 160? There are only 15 spots left and no one has even gone to orientation yet.

<p>Don't worry too much about it. There's only about 30 spots to begin with, so 15 isn't too bad. If too many people sign up, they'll expand the class by a bit. Plus, a lot of people drop it at first, so you can get on the waitlist and you'll be fine.</p>
<p>I went to a mid-summer orientation and 160 was full, but I managed to get in the class by having my guidance counselor give me an override. It really helps to just ask nicely.</p>
