<p>Hey
So I am a freshman at orientation and I want to get into Ross regular admission! So is this a good schedule?!

<p>keep in mind you have to take some sort of calc (unless you have incoming credit) and fulfill the first-year writing requirement; you can take both of those 2nd semester if you want</p>
<p>Hey snails! I’m working for the same thing that you are, and I’d say your schedule is pretty good. Mine for the first semester is very similiar (although I’m not going to take a foreign language).</p>

<p>From the research I’ve done, it is good to do more than just the minimum amount of quantitative analysis classes, so if possible try get 1/2 more than other people will have. Remember, you’re competing with about 1,000 other freshmen trying to get into Ross, so you want to make sure there’s no reason that you’re not better then the next guy or girl. </p>
<p>Good luck! Hope to see you there next year :D</p>

<p>That looks solid but it matters how you do in those classes as well as how well you challenged yourself freshman year (in and out of academics). </p>
<p>If you do well with that first semester, take some more challenging courses second semester. And get involved in extracurriculars as well.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone! I’m planning on taking calc 2 next semester and first year writing was totally closed at my orientation so I’m probably going to take a first yr writing seminar next semester. Should I take a class like stats also in the winter?</p>
<p>@Snails</p>
<p>Sure, if you want. I’ve heard that stats 250 isn’t too bad (if you are planning on taking that one), and that Calc 2 is a tough class (I didn’t take either at Michigan), so just keep that in mind. Look at ratemyprofessors to decide what section you would want to be in, as a good professor will help a lot.</p>
<p>If you have any interest in programming, I would recommend taking EECS 183. </p>
<p>Assuming you get into Ross, you can use that to waive out of BIT 200.</p>
<p>EECS 182 (a class on Python programming) also waives BIT 200; just something to consider</p>
<p>On a similar note, as of this past year, ENGR 101 will waive BIT 200 as well.</p>
<p>I know the OP isn’t in CoE, but it might help other students applying to Ross from CoE.</p>
<p>How does this look for someone in the same position as Snails…?

<p>All of those classes are extremely easy; I recommend mixing in something harder.</p>
<p>Nubswitstubs,
Whose schedule are you referring to?</p>
<p>Also I don’t know that much about programming in general. Would you guys recommend taking that class to see if it is something I’m interested in?</p>
<p>I was referring to FRESHcollegeman1’s schedule.</p>
<p>Yeah, I definitely recommend taking at least 1 programming course during college. The material is very interesting, and the skills developed through programming are marketable. Some people struggle with it when they first start, though, so don’t be discouraged if it doesn’t come naturally to you.</p>
