<p>I've been admitted to the LSA, and I want to combine a LSA degree in neuroscience with a business degree from Ross.
My hope/plan is to get into Ross as a second year. My first question is: is this possible? would it be feasible to do two degrees like this or is it near impossible?
Next: What are the steps a person needs to take as a freshman to get into Ross?</p>
<p>that is a 5year course</p>
<p>So there’s no way to complete and LSA & Ross degree in 4 years? I’ve heard it is possible in some other threads on this forum, but I’m not sure.</p>
<p>It sounds like the BS in neurosciece followed by a MBA may be a better course of study.</p>
<p>You can do a dual degree in 4 years if you get into Ross during your freshman year. If you wait an additional year it will take 4 and a half years.</p>
<p>it is possible to do it in four years. however, just know you’re either going to have to pack in spring and summer courses OR 22+ credits a semester to fulfill all of the requirements (which believe me, is not fun. i packed in 20 credits a semester and it was not enjoyable at all)… with minimal slack to take any courses that don’t fulfill any requirements.</p>
<p>ur gonna have to pay more.cus it is gonna surpass the amount of credits you pay for…</p>
<p>I went to campus day & asked some of the students, and they said that an LSA + Ross degree is somewhat common & can be done in 4 years. is it practical though?</p>
<p>A lot of Ross kids dual degree with LSA.
The difficulty is largely dependent on how many credits you come in with.
As someone mentioned above, it can be a heavy courseload if you have few credits coming in. On the other hand, some kids can finish a dual degree taking the bare minimum (12 credits) each semester. In that case, you could even consider getting two majors w/in LSA in addition to a BBA.</p>
<p>well… the thing is, if I do get a LSA + Ross degree, I would do neuroscience in the LSA.<br>
I do intend to be pre-med. And I feel that if I take subjects like Calc I at umich (which I could probably out of with APs), I could get an easy A which would boost my GPA.
So my next question is: Should I take the AP calc & AP English test and test out? and get the credits? Or would it be a better choice to take them and get an A? </p>
<p>I only have 6 credits coming in from two classes I took at a local university. and those 6 credits were from Intro to Philosophy and Intro to Ethics so I believe those would get me out of certain gen eds.</p>
<p>how about if i transfer from LSA to Ross my sophomore year at UM? does that mean I would have to graduate in 5 years?</p>
<p>captaincluth: it’s more like 4.5 years. The BBA program is only really 2.5 years long.</p>
<p>jake1111: If you know you want to apply to medical school, don’t apply to Ross, plain and simple. Not only do Medical Admissions committee’s usually look down on undergraduate vocational instruction (except for engineering), but it’s also very difficult hunting for internships and getting work experience to prepare for a solid business job after you graduate and getting enough research experience for med school at the same time. It’s very difficult to manage both paths, and most likely you’ll just be mediocre in both.</p>
<p>I say pick what you want to do and just go for it. If Med School’s what you’re after, focus on that. You can major in anything, but you still need hospital volunteering/doc shadowing experience as well bucket-loads of research experience.</p>
<p>Captainclutch: If you apply for Ross during last semester of freshman year and you are accepted, it is a standard 4 year college program…one year in LSA and 3 years in Ross.</p>
<p>@bayley and Infinit, thanks for the information! so that means, even if i don’t get accepted into Ross as a pre-admit freshman, I can still go to Ross and graduate in 4 years right?</p>
<p>You can apply for a transfer from LSA to Ross during your freshman year. If accepted, you would begin the program sophmore year. BBA is a three-year program.</p>
<p>^ is it hard to transfer? i know Ross is extremely competitive but I’m not sure if they mean it’s selective in terms of admitting students into Ross, or it’s just competitive after you take classes in Ross…</p>
<p>It is selective in terms of admitting students. You should check out the faq’s on the Ross website.</p>
