<p>So I've been accepted EA and am now waiting on PA Ross decision. Assuming I don't get in, which I probably won't considering how competitive it is, what would be a good fourth class to take?</p>
<p>After looking around older posts I've found that I must take:</p>
<p>Econ 101 (or some other econ class if I get AP credit?)
A Calc class from I - III
A Freshman English/writing class
And then the fourth class</p>
<p>If I was to reapply for Ross as a Freshman, would a foreign language still be useful to take as the fourth or a different class? I know LSA requires that whole four semester thing but Ross doesn't, I assume, so taking it Freshman year could be wasting a class? </p>
<p>I'm still on the fence about foreign language though. I probably won't test out of Latin because I suck at it right now because of a terrible teacher, despite four years of it. If I was to take a language, it'd probably be either Italian or German (any suggestions?).</p>
<p>So I guess really the heart of my question is should I take a language as the fourth class or a different class. If it was to be a different class, any suggestions? And also, any fun, interesting, easy classes that could be taken as a fifth (is that even possible?)?</p>
<p>Thanks and sorry if all of that sounds confusing/repetitive</p>
<p>There are endless possibilities. The three classes you are signed up for will keep you plenty busy. Take a fourth class you are interested in. I wouldn’t take a fifth.</p>
<p>Possibilities are PSYCH 111, ANTHRCUL 101, AMCULT 219 or first year seminar.</p>
<p>You will need language if you do not go to Ross and stay in LSA. If you think you will get into Ross and don’t want to study language, I probably would wait unless you place far in Latin and want to take it before you forget it.</p>
<p>Kind of going off what has been said but…I also applied PA to Ross. What if I don’t get in PA or after my freshmen year? Will I still be able to pursue a business degree or what would I have to do at that point?</p>
<p>Skip the language and take a class like pysch. My bartender the other night just graduated from Ross and said that is how he did it. He figured if he didn’t get in he would deal with the language requirement at that time.</p>
<p>First, you are obliged to take Econ 101 at UM, AP credits do not exempt you from it, on the contrary of maths. Second, you should consider taking a business or economic related fourth class if you can. Also, why would you take all the prerequisites in once ? I think you should take Econ during ur first semester and Calculus and English during winter. Econ is really competitive, only the top fourth of the class get A, and when I say A i mean A-, A and A+ so I guess and A is around top 13%.
I am actually taking all the prerequisites in the same semester and I already kind of regret it even if I know I can handle it with some nights of supplement work !</p>
<p>He was in the middle of taking a job at a major Michigan based company.
He said the top 10-15% of the class are recruited immediately by the top tier companies in the country, but obvious not everyone can be in the top 15%.
In this economy there are no guarantees-read an article last year about IVY grads delivering pizzas when they could not secure employment in their field of study after graduation.</p>
<p>@Peter, Because one person is obviously representative of the entire 400 person graduating class? That is such an ignorant statement.</p>
<p>I took ECON 101, English 125, and two 300 level History/POLSCI classes and found the workload manageable. I wouldn’t recommend taking a language unless you plan on getting something from LSA anyway. I’m moderately sure that Ross doesn’t have a language requirement. Plus, languages are those classes that are just a pain in the ass and require a lot more studying then you’d expect. Anything 100 level in the social sciences is a popular choice for freshmen. If you carry the right pre-reqs you can sign up for higher level classes right away. Anything at the 300-400 level requires extensive writing usually though, so if you’re not confident in your writing ability, stick to intro classes.</p>
<p>Kyle is right on the money regarding language classes. I remember all too clearly those horrid classes from my college years, this may be in part due to my daughter taking and complaining all the time to me about it now:{</p>
<p>I said that he should take ECON101 in fall and English and Math in winter. Taking all the prerequisistes during the first semester is really really risky. Why ? First semester in college, you are not yet adapted to college work + too much work in once + why would you do that if you can split the prereqs in two semesters ?</p>
